Your commercial property must appear attractive to bring a good return on investment to your business. But maintaining it well also enhances its curb appeal that increases its value. Here are a few things that you can do to increase your commercial property’s appeal.
Parking Lot and Sidewalks
Your first impression of your visitors depends on how you build and maintain your parking lot and sidewalks. That’s why maintaining a standard parking lot with proper seal coating and line striping enhances the curb appeal of your commercial property. When it’s hard to see stripes or holes appear on the parking, it’s time for re-striping and repairing. Cracks, potholes, and water pools in your parking wall or driveway don’t only look awful but increase the chances of accidents that may have serious liabilities on you. Besides accidents, visitors’ vehicles can also be damaged. In a worse case, your parking lot might need resurfacing. Sidewalks or walking paths are surfaces that people walk through as soon as they park their car, these surfaces should be clean and well-maintained too.
Landscaping
Your landscape increases the appeal of your commercial property if you have maintained the grass, vegetation, or paved/concrete structures built there. If there is some open space on your property, it is better to utilize it for landscaping. Your open spaces also require regular cleaning of dead grass, shrubs, and debris as well as maintenance of the plants by watering and trimming them. Seek better ways to maintain your landscape, like installing an irrigations system if your landscape is difficult to maintain via a sprinkler system. Native plants and shrubs are easy to grow and maintain while avoiding plants that require more water. It’s better not to make your garden and landscape look crowded.
Overall Cleaning of the Property
Your property needs a regular power cleaning once or twice a month besides the day-to-day cleaning. This power clean-up involves cleaning all the walls of your building, repairing small or big damages around the property, repainting, restriping, or replacements. Your property’s exterior is the first thing people see and it should be nice and clean. You might not notice dirty walls every day but a power wash fortnightly is a great idea to keep everything in order, clean, and well-maintained.
During this clean-up, replace any broken windows, tiles, etc. You must remove stains that were impossible to clean in day-to-day cleaning from the walls, doors, windows, etc. Repair cracks or damages here and there, especially on roof and ground, like tiles, fall ceiling, pavements, etc. Dust, debris, and dirt on your building make it look old. Your property gets a new life when you clean up all the blemishes.
Lighting
Your property must have the proper lighting to give it an attractive look. To keep it bright and appealing, exterior lights are as important as interior lights. It’s not only a matter of appeal and comfort for the people but security. There is a great variety of lights that you can choose to enhance the curb appeal of your property. It makes your building approachable if it is well-lit. Especially, commercial buildings should be well-lit to welcome people.
Conclusion
There are simple ways to enhance the value of your property and enhance its appeal. You need to maintain the parking lots, sidewalks, and landscape regularly. Clean up, repair, and replace wherever required. Besides everything, maintain good lighting in the exterior and interior of your commercial building.
