Owning commercial property can be quite lucrative if it’s done right. And, as property owners you want to get the best out of your investment. While monthly rents add up, there’s no denying that the overall property value needs to be at its peak if and when you decide to sell.
Markets fluctuate with supply and demand trends and the rise and fall of interest rates, but there are solid steps you can take to keep your property value intact. One of those ways is by continually maintaining the masonry of your commercial property.
Here are five ways professional masonry maintenance increases the value of your commercial property.
This may seem obvious but it needs to be said because it’s essential. The aesthetic of your property matters when it comes to value. Commercial property owners need to understand that continued maintenance on the masonry will keep your stonework looking its best, and one of the best ways to increase your property value.
Longevity is key in anything we own. We want our cars to last, so we get routine oil changes. The filter on the furnace needs replacing, we do that to prolong the life of the heating system. Masonry protects your business or renters from the elements. By continually having your masonry maintained by professionals, you are extending the life of that brick.
All commercial property owners should be aware of the building codes, and we all know that we’re required to keep compliant with local laws. Property owners are bound by duty to the community to keep our buildings looking nice. Letting masonry upkeep go can cause bigger safety issues down the road and lead to fines.
During the day, masonry absorbs the sun's heat and stores it until evening. That’s when the heat is released into the interior of the building. This creates an atmosphere that is balanced and less dependent on external heating systems. Energy efficiency is important in so many ways. Not only does it save us money as property owners, it increases the value.
We can all tell a well-maintained brick or stone building when we see one. Professional maintenance will give the masonry of your commercial property the kind of look that captures the attention of others. There’s no denying, the best-looking properties in any area are typically the ones with the highest property value.
