Focus on exterior cleanup, landscaping, and ensuring systems are ready for rising temperatures.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong>Review Safety Equipment<\/strong><br \/>\nMake it a habit to change your batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when adjusting your clocks for the time change. If your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are older than 10 years, replace them. Test fire alarm systems and make sure your fire extinguishers are visible, easily accessible, charged and operational. Check emergency exits, lighting, and signage to confirm they are visible and functional.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong>Inspect Your HVAC System<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter months of indoor heating, your HVAC system may be due for maintenance. Schedule a professional inspection to ensure it\u2019s working efficiently before temperatures rise. Replace air filters, clean air vents, and check for any signs of wear. A well-maintained HVAC system improves air quality and reduces energy consumption.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong>Refresh Exterior Spaces<\/strong><br \/>\nThe exterior of your business sets the tone for clients and employees alike. Power wash sidewalks, parking lots, and entryways to remove dirt, grime, and residue. Wash windows inside and out to let in more light and improve curb appeal. Ensure window screens are in good condition and repair or replace if needed. If you have landscaping, trim overgrown plants, plant seasonal flowers, and refresh to give your property a polished look.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong>Prevent Pests<\/strong><br \/>\nBugs and rodents enjoy spring, too, and may take advantage of the season to find a home in your property. Consider spraying the perimeter of your property to keep out ants, roaches, and other insects. Repair any cracks and holes where pests can creep in. And inspect for damage that pests may have already created, so you fix the problem before it persists.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><strong>Inspect Roof<\/strong><br \/>\nInspect the roof for damage, missing shingles, or other issues caused by high winds or building age. Clear out debris from gutters and ensure proper water flow to prevent damage to the foundation and siding.For tasks like roof repairs or HVAC maintenance, consider hiring a professional. If you have any questions or require assistance, please give Lee &amp; Associates Property Management a call.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring officially begins March 20 and it\u2019s a great time to get your business ready for warmer weather.
