How’s your hair? Are you blessed to be bald like me or do you have that perfect Bon Jovi hair? More than likely you don’t have either and about every 3-6 weeks you have to do something with your hair to maintain it to the desired outcome you’re after.
Maintaining for the Desired Effect:
Building maintenance is no different. If your building owners allow gutters, kick outs, roof drains, tree limbs, HVAC covers, gas pipe stands, and other issues to be left un-checked they can end up causing & costing them thousands of dollars.
But on the other hand if they have a maintenance program in place to catch any of these concerns before they cause any long term issues, then they are actually decreasing the life cycle costing of their roofing system. Not only that, but at the time of a sale if a building is changing hands in a real estate transaction, a roof that has a proven maintenance schedule will be worth much more compared to one of the same age that’s been left unkept.
Keep it Under Control:
Building maintenance is a lot like long, shaggy, unkept hair: you have to do something to keep it in control or it will become a hairy situation that’s hard to manage. At the end of the day, sell the value of what you are doing by providing building owners with a maintenance agreement and show them how doing it is a long-term smart financial decision.
