Property Surveillance Service
We offer a proprietary "Property Surveillance Service" that allows a client to "keep an eye" on a property should it become vacant or abandoned. We go beyond the average property management that is common to the industry. We can visit a property anywhere from once every 3-6 months to once a month to every week. Maintenance can be as simple as taking a photo of the subject property, or as detailed as a regimen of lawn care, shrub trimmings, flyer/paper removal that includes digital photos and a report emailed to the client for future reference. Those support services can be ordered either by the week, bi-monthly, monthly or on a 3-6 month term.
Lock Changes / Replacements
Locks are usually the first line of defense for any property. A professionally installed door lock, or a prominently placed hasp and padlock are excellent deterrents to passing undesirables. We will replace any door lock that permits entrance into any house, pool house, garage, etc. We will provide a new hasp and padlock on all doors that permit access to any house, shed, barn, stable, etc. that does not already have an existing lock assembly installed.
Complete Interior and Exterior Debris Removal
Scattered clothes, bags of trash, broken household items and other elements of a broken home are sure signs to the community that a property is probably vacant and certainly uncared for. This will only increase the odds that vandalism may occur. Toward that end, we will remove all trash, garbage, household items both internal and external, scattered personal items and left over moving supplies off of the subject premises. When necessary, we will ensure that ALL of the items remaining after a property has been vacated or abandoned are removed.
Boarding
When a property is already suffered damage, or when it is in a high profile area that sees a heavy amount of foot traffic, Boarding is the best way to deter entrance. We will board up all windows, doors, garage doors, basement and crawl space access and any other points of potential access that are accessible from the ground. At the request of the Client, we will board up all windows/points of access on the subject property. Our boarding process does not damage glass or the frame.
Light Painting
When a tenant leaves a property, one of the first courses of action to improve the appearance and attraction of the interior of a structure is to have it painted. A well painted room shows better, reflects more light and appears bigger to prospective tenants and /or buyers. We will perform light painting on a requested property in a quick and timely manner enabling you to have maximum positive exposure on the subject property.
Vehicle / Auto Removal
Abandoned Autos and or vehicles are strong attractants to vandals and youths. We will promptly remove any abandoned vehicles post haste so that the subject property maintains a clean lived in look. Should the vehicles have been present on the property for some time, it will seem as though the property has changed hands and will deter would be vandals and vagrants alike.
