Removing Decorations

Now that the holidays are over it is a good time to plan the removal of decorations. Nothing worse than an old brown wreath or light strands dangling off buildings.

Give us a call if you need us to remove any for you.

We have finished mailing out next’s years contracts.

Slippery Sidewalks

With winter here the sidewalks tend to get a little icy and dangerous to navigate once in a while.

If you have a building or tenants that would like a bucket of salt and a scoop delivered to them for use while waiting for the snow contractor to arrive, let us know.

 

Daylight Savings Time Ends

Daylight savings time will be ending this Sunday morning. Please remember to turn your clocks back one hour.

If you have any buildings with time clocks that you would like us to check just let us know.

Exterior Lighting

As winter approaches the daylight hours becomes shorter. Now would be a good time to inspect your exterior lighting and have everything repaired before the winter months are here.

Let us know if you would like us to check your buildings for any problems.

 

Mechanical Rooms and Vacancy Heat

The cooler weather is on the way. To avoid the after hours call from broken water pipes start checking these spaces and make sure the heat is working and that the thermostats are set correct. Some T-stats may have been turned way down or even off for the summer months.

Let us know if you would like us to check your buildings for any problems

 

Irrigation System Blow Downs

It’s that time of the year again to winterize the irrigation systems and make sure that all outside spigots are turned off inside the building and drained. This will prevent any frozen pipes and costly water damage repair this coming winter season.

While blowing down the system we also drain any outdoor spigots and check operation of unit heaters in the mech room.

Irrigation System Blow Downs

Although you couldn’t tell by the weather we have had the past couple of weeks. The temperatures will be dropping and winter will be here in a couple of months.

We will begin blow downs in October, if you are not on our list please contact Sheila.

Hot Weather and Air Conditioning

With the hot  weather your AC units are working hard to keep you and your tenants cool. Clogged filters can make them work even harder.
