Rental Property Maintenance in St. Louis: The Landlord's Preventative List

Rental property maintenance in St. Louis is mostly seasonal and mostly preventative — the gutters in fall, the caulk in spring, the weatherstripping before winter. Done on a schedule, it prevents the emergency call that costs ten times more. Here's the seasonal checklist we run for St. Louis landlords.

The seasonal maintenance list

• Spring — caulk and grout check, gutter clean, pressure wash porches and walks
• Summer — deck and fence repair, exterior paint touch-ups, screen door re-hang
• Fall — gutter clean (again), weatherstripping, downspout extensions
• Winter — drywall crack check, door adjustments, interior punch list

Why seasonal beats reactive

A reactive landlord pays emergency rates and loses tenants. A seasonal landlord pays scheduled rates and keeps them. The difference is the schedule — and a maintenance plan that puts the seasonal work on the calendar before it becomes an emergency.
