Do You Have an Annual Facility Maintenance Plan Yet?

Is staying on top of your facility maintenance one of your New Year's resolutions? Perhaps there were challenges with facility upkeep that prevented you from everything done this year. What if we told you that in 2022, you would not have to bother with facility maintenance? You will not have to be concerned about any issues with your building's inside or exterior any longer. Sounds too good to be true? With an annual facility maintenance plan, this is something you can expect.

Having an annual commercial building maintenance plan has a lot of advantages. Here are a few maintenance tasks that would benefit from an annual schedule.

• Upholstery and carpet cleaning: Any carpet or cloth surface should be deep cleaned at least twice a year. A lot of dust and dirt can accumulate in a year.
• Hard flooring care: A lack of periodic hard flooring maintenance can result in surface damage, staining, and safety hazards for employees and customers. Make sure that your hard floors are clean and safe throughout the year.
• Cleaning and disinfecting: Cleaning and disinfecting your facility can eat up a significant amount of your time. Hiring a

building maintenance company to handle these tasks can allow you to focus on what matters most. You must ensure that you are doing everything possible to prevent the spread of harmful germs and bacteria in your facility. Having an annual cleaning and disinfecting plan in place will dramatically lower the risk of contamination.

• Handyman services: As the year progresses, many things in your facility can fail or malfunction. Having a handyman on call when something breaks and needs to be fixed can be quite beneficial.
• Floor mat installation: When moisture reaches a hard surface, tripping hazards escalate. Commercial matting can help reduce moisture traction, as well as the risk of staff and customers slipping and injuring themselves in your facility. Commercial matting also prolongs the life of your commercial carpets and hard flooring. Having mats at your doors also allows visitors to wipe dirt and filth off their shoes.
• Parking lot maintenance: Excessive heat and extreme cold can both ruin your parking lot surface. If your parking lot is left unattended, the amount of traffic it receives can make it look unsightly and unprofessional. Remember that your parking lot is likely the first part of your facility that clients will see — so make sure it always makes a strong impression.

Conclusion

It is convenient and cost-effective to plan out your maintenance duties a year ahead of time. At certain times of the year, many of the services mentioned above receive a large number of service calls. For example, in some areas, snow removal will be prevalent during the winter. Many top-rated snow removal services will likely be booked solid for the rest of the season due to high call volumes. This will leave you seeking a service provider that will either fall short of your expectations or fall outside your budget. Having an annual maintenance plan ensures that you will always have the right contractor for the job, regardless of your demands or budget.
