Your home or commercial property is likely your most valuable investment. No doubt, then, you should be willing to invest the time and money necessary to maintain its value. Without building maintenance, your real estate can physically deteriorate, drop in value and require expensive repairs.

Building maintenance is its own investment. By regularly maintaining a building, you will avoid major problems and large, costly repairs that result from a lack of building upkeep.

There are a few areas of buildings that especially call for regular building maintenance. Here are three of them:

1. Exterior Walls

Cracks and wearing of exterior walls pose a number of structural threats to your building. If your exterior walls start cracking and wearing, you are not only lessening the aesthetic appeal of your building but are also risking structural and health issues like internal mold, water damage and parasite problems. Exterior walls separate the interior of your building from the elements and must be maintained properly.

2. Windows

Windows do more than provide a view of your yard or street; they also insulate your building. Unmaintained windows can cost you a fortune in wasted heating and cooling costs. Regularly inspecting your windows and following a routine maintenance schedule can prevent any unexpected issues and keep your power bills low.

3. Roofs

Roof issues are difficult to detect until they become major problems like leaks and collapses. Because they are hard to notice, you must always make roof inspections part of your building maintenance plan to ensure the safety of the people and property inside. Don’t wait for water leaks before you begin maintaining your roof.
