Why fix a small problem before it gets worse?
At Point Vertex, we know all about how this works. We’ve helped many property owners in the Oakland area to fix these kinds of nagging problems before they turn into full-blown catastrophes! That’s part of our mission, as we know that a professional presence helps those who are too busy to do full DIY maintenance themselves.
In property maintenance, that second word, maintenance, is key. You’re trying to keep things in decent condition, so that they don’t deteriorate to the point where a property is either unlivable or being destroyed naturally, or so far outside of building code or local ordinance that you’re facing pressure from authorities.
So what types of things do property owners need to look out for? Here’s a few…
Steps and Walkways
Your walking infrastructure and staircases start out in their desired state – neat and even. But over time, things happen. Ground settling can create dangerously slanted concrete slabs. Wooden stairs can start to lose integral parts. These are problems you want to address early before something bad happens. There’s an issue of liability involved, and curb appeal, too. We can help.
Loose Stuff
In general, you want to prevent loose or hanging items on either the exterior or interior of a property. It might be anything from a loose flashing or downspout to wires or damaged flooring intruding into the living space in some inconvenient and possibly dangerous way. Some of this requires particular problem-solving, and having a pro on the scene can be a big help.
Water Problems
Water damage is one of the scariest things a property owner can experience!
Preventing water damage means maintaining a complex system of hoses, cords, pipes, fittings and appliances. Do this well or you could end up paying the price. We have seen water issues first-hand and have the track record and experience to assist, to take pre-emptive steps to safeguard a property, or do damage mitigation later.
Roofing
The roof, as they say, protects everything underneath it. That’s why it has to be in good and serviceable condition at all times. Don’t wait for a blown shingle or some small problem to compromise the integrity of your roof structure.
We can help with many of these types of home issues and problems with either residential or commercial buildings. Take a look at the gallery and other resources and get connected to a local Oakland, CA firm that cares!
