Condo Maintenance Guide Preventive maintenance is the regular inspection and repair of equipment and facilities to prevent extensive, costly damage from occurring over time. Preventive maintenance can go a long way toward reducing the overall cost of your condominiums, as large expenditures for repairs and replacements can often be avoided by a careful attention to detail. Following a thorough condominium preventive maintenance checklist can help you to increase the attractiveness of your property.

Landscaping Landscaping not only adds value, but can increase the enjoyment of your home. Whether it be in the common or private areas of your association, picking the right plantings and materials is important to maximize enjoyment for all.

Building Overview Now is a great time to make your front entrance welcoming. Whether it is a fresh coat of paint or a new set of planters, it’s the small inexpensive things that can make a world of difference. Don’t forget to review your vendors from last year. Were you happy with the snow removal, leak repairs, heating, management company responsiveness, etc.? If not, make a couple of calls to see who else might better fit your needs.

Inspections Perform regular inspections on all equipment and facilities that are subject to damage or normal wear and tear.

Inspect such things as roofs, insulation, ventilation systems and appliances to ensure that they are operating safely and efficiently.

Cleaning Stick to a regular cleaning schedule for fixtures such as air ducts and exterior siding to ensure that dirt, mildew and other buildup does not cause any damage. Clean and replace filters in heating and air conditioning units, as well as appliances such as washing machines and dryers, to prevent fire damage. New or cleaned filters also help to keep electricity costs down, as the appliances can operate more efficiently with an unrestricted flow of air.

Pest Control Bring pest control specialists into your condominiums at least once per year. Common pests can increase their populations rapidly and can quickly infest an entire property, causing extensive damage to interiors and electrical infrastructure. Act proactively to ensure that pests do not gain a foothold in your properties, and respond quickly to any pest complaints.

Testing Test emergency equipment such as sprinkler systems, smoke alarms and fire extinguishers to ensure that they remain in working order. Properly maintained safety equipment can prevent a small mishap from becoming a major disaster. Fire escapes need to be certified every 5 years per the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Elevators need state inspections on a scheduled basis.

Sealants Reapply all sealants before a problem occurs. Sealants on steps, decks, bricks, exterior paint and window caulking can corrode over time, exposing your property to the risk of internal damage. Keeping on top of these items not only helps to keep your structure strong, it can also cut down on energy, assessments, and repair bills in the future.
