General Areas Requiring Scheduled Property Maintenance
Showers
Smoke Detectors
Showers
Showers are one of the most highly used parts of any home. The long term effects of not maintaining a shower can cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair. It's not uncommon for people to fall through the floor of a shower that hasn't been maintained
Gutters
Smoke Detectors
Showers
Having clear gutters, ducts all the rainwater away from your house so it is imperative to keep them clear. A build up in your gutters can cause water to flow into your ceiling which causes damage to your plaster and mold to grow

Landlords by law are required to replace the batteries in the smoke detectors every 12 months. There are companies who will do this on a regular basis for you but we can tie it in with other maintenance so you're not paying hundreds of dollars for a 5 minute job
Timber Work

Smoke Detectors
Almost all properties have timber used in their construction and timber rot is a big issue when it comes to keeping your property in good condition. Things like rotten windows can easily be maintained if the issues are identified early. Often when timber rot is identified it is the tip of the iceberg and the repairs could cost thousands of dollars
Balconies

Balconies
Poorly maintained balconies can cause all kinds of problems. When they leak they leave stains on your ceiling, they are commonly above garages which can cause garage ceiling collapses and if left can collapse themselves with too much weight on them. There have been instances where builders are getting out of their warranties on balconies because they haven't been maintained which leaves owners fitting the repair bill and cost of loss of rental income
Doors

Balconies
Doors are the highest used items in all properties. They are used several times a day by multiple people so no wonder they wear out. Our front doors keep us safe, our internal doors allow us privacy, our pet doors stop our pets form taking over the house and our cupboard doors keep our things neatly hidden away and clear from dust. We take them for granted until they fall off or break down
Property Maintenance Assessment And Ongoing Maintenance
Maintenance Program
We here at TruFix attend multiple property types of multiple ages in all different areas of Melbourne. We often attend repair jobs that cost our clients thousands of dollars to repair when if the client had of just performed some simple regular maintenance the repair could have been avoided
Our focus on property maintenance is to allow our customers the benefits of only spending a little regularly so they don't have to pay a lot for a repair that could have been avoided. A good way to think of it is as being the same as getting your car serviced except its a service on your property to prevent it from breaking down
Our expert property technicians attend your property to assess the common areas that require regular maintenance and go through our 20 point inspection assessment check list to record what items require regular maintenance. That information is then put into a regular maintenance program specific to your property
Depending on what maintenance is required for your property we will likely attend once or twice a year to perform the required maintenance duties. The price for your property maintenance can be fixed for 2, 3 or 5 years so you will always know how much it will cost
There is an initial assessment fee to visit and assess the property of $220 Inc GST. This includes a property maintenance report, a cost for your regular maintenance program and a free smoke alarm battery replacement

Who Needs Property Maintenance?

Time Poor?
Property owners have several maintenance requirements they need to do by law to keep their tenants safe which we can take care of on a regular basis. Taking care of these items will ensure compliance but a maintenance program will also add value to your property and give higher rental returns. Tenants are far more likely to stay and respect the property if the property is well maintained

Maybe you should be saying "TruFix has that sorted" instead!

The more senior member of our community are far more likely to be willing to give their own property maintenance a go because after all, back in their day they could do it all right? The question is though 'should they be taking on these maintenance tasks?'
Having a maintenance program could give you piece of mind that your parents are out having fun instead of climbing ladders to clean out the gutters
