Tip To Find Good Commercial Property Maintenance Company

by Brittany W. Content Writer

It doesn’t matter whether you rent the commercial space to third parties or use it for your business. You need to provide the people inside with a clean, safe and functional building. The extent of your responsibility may differ based on local laws. But keeping up with maintenance can be hard for landlords. That’s why they turn to third-party firms for commercial property maintenance in Denver.


Commercial property maintenance firms can take the load off of your company. It’s important to find contractors with expertise and resources to keep your property in top shape. It’s important to research different companies in your area and compare their services before signing a contract.


Know Your Requirements

Property maintenance needs may differ from owner to owner. Some owners may want complete maintenance while others might have an in-house team. They may just need help with commercial landscaping in Denver. Moreover, the type of property you own may also define your maintenance needs.


Knowing what type of service you need can help you narrow down the list a lot. Many companies offer a wide variety of services while some offer only certain services. If you have multiple requirements, then you can hire a company that caters to all of them. You also need to be clear about the project details and set a realistic budget.


Consider Reputation

Finding out what others think of the company is important to get an idea of how good it is. This has become easier thanks to Google reviews and various review websites. You can go through them to get an idea of what people think of the firm’s prices, service, etc.


Though word of mouth tends to be more reliable than online reviews. You can ask other property owners to recommend maintenance companies they work with. Ask them about the prices and quality of service before getting contact details. You can also request the contractor to offer references from previous contractors. Do not forget to follow up on these references.


Make A List

Going with the first company you find on Google may be convenient but you might miss out on better services. You should make a list of companies that serve businesses in your area based on the services you need. Search for companies on online directories, classified ads, etc.


Compare Estimates

The first company may quote a good price for their service but the next one might offer a better price. Or they might offer better services for the same price. You should get and compare estimates from different companies before deciding which company to work with. When making comparisons, don’t just focus on the price, also consider the services they offer.


Interview Them

Meeting a person is usually the best way to get a full scope of what to expect from them. You may have to meet some contractors to get estimates anyway. During the interview convey what you expect from them clearly and ask them to be clear about their process. 


Ask them about their experience and expertise. Many companies offer multiple services but specialize in a few of them. You might need to hire multiple contractors accordingly. After meeting the seemingly best contractors on your list, choose one and draft an agreeable contract.


Check License If Required

Depending on the state you live in and the project you’re hiring for, the contractor may need a license. Research your state license requirements and ensure that the company meets them. Request to see the license copy for yourself before signing the contract. You can also request their license number and verify it with the state department.


Check Insurance

Mistakes during maintenance projects could lead to injuries and property damages. Your state laws may require businesses to have certain types of coverages. Make sure that the company and its employees are insured.


Try Their Services

See if you can hire them for a trial period. A short-term contract can also be helpful for this purpose. At the end of the trial period, see how satisfied you are with their services to consider whether to continue with them or not.
