Maintenance Review - Multiunit Properties Must Have Power Washers, Check Huskie & Rigid Brands

Every property should have a power washer as part of the standard maintenance tool kit. Power washers can make an old unit look fresh and help reveal the real maintenance you need to take care of on your property. We can easily begin cutting corners on our properties and in the process irreparably damage their rent worthiness. Great managers focus on curb appeal and clean bright paint, clean masonry, clean roofs, and clean windows can make a property look like new and give renting a real boost. You benefit when the passerby sees your project and makes the mental leap that this is a place they will want to live. Curb appeal is where this occurs and cleanliness is the low cost best start.

You can always rent power washing equipment. However, buying probably makes more sense as well maintained projects should be power washed twice annually to achieve the curb appeal that should be your objective. This amount of use allows you to pay for the purchase versus renting in three or four uses.

When you select your power washer you will find a variety of choices open to you. Some are electric. Some are gasoline powered. Choose the high end 3,000 PSI model. Currently, Home Depot offers a Husky and a Rigid product that meets this requirement. The lower power units will fail quickly under the strain of an industrial level demand such as you will apply maintaining your property.

Also, keep in mind these are high value items to folks trafficking your property. They must be kept under lock and key. We've experienced significant theft losses. Also, ensure that when you have staff turnover that you have processes in place to assure that they cannot take these items off of your hands after they leave your employment.

These are simple considerations that will significantly improve your properties appearance, protect your ability to maintain your property, and support selecting reliable equipment that will serve you for the long term saving you large amounts over rented power washer units.
