As a rental property owner, you need to regularly examine the windows of your rental properties. Check for water damage, cracks, gaps, and other issues. This routine examination should be part of your comprehensive property maintenance plan. Routine basic window maintenance should include sealing gaps and replacing the weather-stripping. If any of the windows in your The Woodlands rental property seep moisture, trap condensation, or are broken, they have to be replaced.
Though it might be tempting, asking residents to perform repairs, maintenance, or replacement of a rental property’s windows is not a good idea. Even if they have the correct skills, asking residents to execute repairs creates liability problems. These problems may eventually become bigger and more difficult to deal with. There is also no certainty that the maintenance or repair your windows need will be done right. Keep in mind that neglected windows can lead to more costly property damage further down the road.
Repairing and replacing windows by yourself might seem like another good option, especially if you are trying to save money. The problem is that even if you know what you are doing, you endanger yourself when you deal with a potentially hazardous material such as glass. Moreover, installing windows properly is important for long-term effectiveness and function. For these reasons, jobs such as replacing glass panes or even entire windows should be left up to the experts.

That’s why the Real Property Management Republic offers maintenance programs that will take care of all these tasks for you.
