As the summer season winds down, multifamily properties need more than just a quick clean-up. Proactive maintenance now can help you reduce turnover, avoid seasonal issues, and keep residents happy heading into fall.
At Powerhouse, we specialize in working with apartment complexes, HOAs, and property managers to ensure properties are clean, safe, and fully prepped—season after season.
1. Inspect HVAC Systems
As temperatures start to drop, residents will rely on heating systems. This is the time to inspect and clean:
- Air filters and vents
- Common area units
- Rooftop or in-unit HVAC systems
- Air ducts (especially after a dusty summer)
Preventative maintenance now can avoid mid-season breakdowns and resident complaints later.
2. Check for Water Damage & Mold
From summer storms to overused amenities, water damage can sneak in fast.
- Inspect roofs, gutters, and downspouts
- Check laundry rooms and utility closets
- Look for leaks behind walls or under sinks
- Schedule mold inspection and remediation if needed
Powerhouse Restoration teams are equipped to handle everything from small leaks to large-scale repairs.
3. Deep Clean Common Areas
Clean, well-maintained spaces impact tenant satisfaction and retention. Before fall:
- Power wash building exteriors and walkways
- Clean and sanitize shared spaces (gyms, lounges, lobbies)
- Steam clean carpets in hallways and clubhouses
- Refresh windows, railings, and high-touch surfaces
Our professional crews ensure every detail is covered—so your property stands out.
4. Exterior and Safety Checks
Keep your property secure and ready for fall weather by inspecting:
- Lighting in parking lots and pathways
- Stairwells and handrails
- Balcony and deck stability
- Pest-prone areas and trash enclosures
Not only does this help with liability—it improves the daily experience for residents.
5. Prep for Turnovers
Late summer and early fall often mean move-outs. Now is the time to:
- Schedule unit cleanings
- Repair or paint interiors
- Deep clean carpets and tile
- Inspect appliances and plumbing
Powerhouse offers fast turnaround services so you can minimize vacancy and welcome new tenants with spotless units.
