Most residents don’t distinguish between different types of property maintenance. In most cases, the only All County Property Management Cape Coral residential property maintenance services they will notice are the emergency maintenance measures they call for when something breaks.
However, property managers need to carefully consider the types of property maintenance they will perform—such as regular maintenance, corrective maintenance, and emergency maintenance—and whether the maintenance should be handled by in-house staff or outsourced experts.
Also known as “planned maintenance,” this term refers to residential property maintenance services that are either frequent or minor in nature—and are usually planned ahead of time to prevent issues. In many managed properties, regular maintenance such as cleaning and painting are performed by in-house staff.
Regular maintenance also includes pre-planned preventative maintenance for major systems in a property—such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) inspection and maintenance.
This type of property maintenance tends to be low-impact and low-cost compared to corrective and emergency maintenance. In fact, it may help to forestall the need for corrective and emergency maintenance.
Whether regular maintenance should be performed by in-house property management staff or by an outsourced specialist depends on what is being maintained. Basic cleaning and other duties can often be performed by in-house staff. Electrical or HVAC maintenance, on the other hand, typically requires a licensed specialist to be done correctly and to code.
Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance is the term applied to basic repairs for non-emergency items in a property. In many cases, these repairs may be conflated or confused with emergency repairs. The major differentiating factor is that these repairs are generally low-priority—residents will not be excessively inconvenienced or put at risk of harm if the issue isn’t fixed as soon as possible.
