Best Tips for Maintaining Your Commercial Property on a Budget


The success of your commercial property is directly tied to how well you maintain it. No one wants to run their business in a building where issues always pop up, disrupting the day's operations. To ensure the property serves the needs of your occupants effectively, consider the following maintenance tips.

1. Regularly Make Improvements

One of the most effective ways to keep your property looking great while preserving its functionality is regularly taking on improvement projects. You can do anything from adding new landscaping to purchasing new furniture and repainting the walls. It's impossible to overstate the value of changing things occasionally in any business. Simple minor changes like using higher quality waterproofing supplies to major ones like installing new flooring can positively impact your property's style.

Even if you lack the funds for major renovations, you can do plenty of little things to maintain a modern and fresh appearance for your commercial property. Replacing your window treatments is a simple and reasonably priced approach to making frequent changes. New blinds or curtains can instantly brighten up your space and refresh it. Switching out the artwork is also a great project to consider for your property.

You can also improve things by performing routine maintenance like lawn mowing. Grass can grow 2 to 6 inches monthly. Letting it grow out too long can significantly detract from your commercial property's aesthetics while making your outdoor spaces less functional.

2. Pay Attention to High-Traffic Areas

Commercial properties typically receive a lot of foot traffic, but certain areas are busier than others. For example, if it's an office building, the central lobby will likely see the most people passing through. You'll need to pay more attention to the floors and walls of such spaces.

Getting epoxy floors is a great place to start. They need minimal upkeep and are incredibly durable. Besides that, this flooring option will instantly boost the aesthetics of the space and make it more functional.

There's also the fact that epoxy floors are non-slippery. This means they'll reduce the likelihood of slip and fall accidents when you install them. That's why such flooring is often a top choice for commercial property owners. who want to ensure a safe environment.

3. Don't Go Easy On Pests

One of the worst things that can happen to your commercial property is a rampant pest infestation. You don't want your clients complaining that they've seen rats running across the floors or their desks. Temporarily removing, killing, and exterminating the pests may only cost a few bucks.

It's important to note that just because the tenants haven't said anything about pests doesn't imply the problem isn't present. For effective pest management, have a professional pest audit done at least once a year. Ants are the most bothersome pest, followed by spiders and roaches, according to a new ConsumerAffairs poll.

4. Work On the Exterior

The exterior of your commercial building is often the first thing people interact with, whether coming in for your services or just passing by. It has the power to either make or break the initial impression. Like how you want to ensure your home has a great curb appeal, don't neglect your commercial property's facade.

You can do a lot to revamp your exterior spaces. You can start by updating the lighting fixtures and addressing roof repair needs. Next, look at the state of the paint job. If it's fading, consider applying a fresh coat.

You'll also want to pay attention to the siding. Most siding installations are rated for gusts of up to 110 mph. Vinyl siding is far simpler to reinstall than other types of siding, so keep that in mind if the wind does manage to tear it off.

Staying on top of the maintenance needs of your commercial property will make it much more conducive for your tenants. Ultimately, this will increase your retention rates. If you need help figuring out where to start, use this read as a guide.
