You know you can hire a painting contractor for your home or your business, but what about if you’re a property manager, with 20, 50, or maybe even over 100 units under your supervision? Inevitably there will come a time when these units need new paint and perhaps some other renovations. This is up to you as the manager of these homes, and the more homes under your management, the more work there is. But you have a knowledgeable and reliable partner in your painting contractor, who has experience tackling this workload and having to please an array of homeowners or renters. Dan Mahaney, CertaPro Painters franchise owner, explains how a painting contractor works for a property manager.
When you manage property, even though those units are either owned or rented, it is your responsibility to make sure that the homes remain in good condition, and also remain aesthetically pleasing and, most importantly, absolutely safe. When it comes time to make repairs and/or have a new paint job done, you have to keep a large number of homeowners or renters happy, while doing what is best for their homes. A painting contractor can be your best ally. They have the expertise necessary to fully assess what work the homes need done, what colors would look best where and would please the majority of the inhabitants, and how to get this work done quickly and efficiently, inconveniencing the owners or renters as little as possible.
As far as the paint itself, the painting contractor will help guide the property manager in choices that maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance, and any work done will retain or improve the value of the units. The contractor will also consult with the property manager in order to go forward with any other necessary work, such as driveway repair, power washing, deck staining, and/or wallpaper removal. All of this work is done efficiently and professionally, and with a work ethic that represents both the painting company and the property manager well to the owners or renters.
In addition to expedited service and expert advice on what renovations to take on and how, the painting contractor should also offer reduced costs for necessary maintenance, since there is a high number of units to be worked on, and the work improves the quality of life for those who live in these homes. This maintenance includes repair, water damage, prevention of peeling paint, and other processes. Anything that poses a safety threat is obviously included in necessary work.
Often painting contractors have a sort of program that they offer with the services done to keep you as the property manager communicating with the owners or renters of the units. It is best to keep everyone informed so there are no surprises or conflicts later on. CertaPro Painters actually delivers regular progress reports so that you have the opportunity to keep the owners or renters updated on the status of the work. The progress report demonstrates the painters’ capability of staying on or ahead of schedule. The painters are also experienced with working and communicating with more than one party. They can take multiple concerns, needs, and questions and streamline that into service that meets everyone’s standards. Your painting contractor should also help you know exactly what is being done, when, and how, so you can explain this to unit owners or renters. Painting contractors have the expertise and experience to make your property safe, beautiful, valuable, and pleasing to all of those who live in the units.
