September 6, 2023

Welcome to our new commercial property maintenance category! Proper maintenance is crucial for commercial buildings - it preserves asset value, prevents disruptions, and reduces costs. This blog will provide actionable tips and best practices for effective maintenance of offices, retail stores, warehouses and more.

Commercial property maintenance involves routinely inspecting, servicing and repairing critical building systems and assets. Here are essential tips for optimizing your maintenance strategy:

  • Conduct preventative maintenance inspections at least annually. Look for warning signs like leaks, cracks or equipment issues. Fixing problems early prevents bigger headaches.
  • Track and manage maintenance with a computerized maintenance management system. This gives visibility into asset performance and upcoming maintenance needs.
  • Maintain detailed maintenance logs. Document all performed maintenance, repairs and replaced parts. This provides insight into asset lifecycles.
  • Regularly service HVAC and electrical systems. Ensure ventilation, heating/cooling and power systems are running efficiently. Replace filters and inspect wiring.
  • Pressure wash exterior surfaces twice a year. Remove dirt, grime and pollutants. Prevent buildup that can lead to deterioration.
  • Inspect roofs biannually and repair identified issues immediately. Identify potential leaks early and avoid major interior water damage.
  • Prioritize maintenance for high traffic areas. Lobbies, hallways and retail floors need frequent attention to maintain visual appeal.
