WINTER MAINTENANCE TIPS:

WHAT YOU CAN DO AND WHEN TO CALL US

Let's face it - Midwest winters can be brutal! Between the bone-chilling temperatures, endless snow, and that lovely thing we call "freezing rain," winter maintenance might not be the most exciting topic... but it's super important! Here are 5 ways to keep your apartment safe and toasty while Old Man Winter does his thing.


1. Keep Your Apartment Cozy and Energy Efficient

Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):

  • Show those drafty windows who's boss with some window film
  • Rock those thermal curtains like they're going out of style


When to Call in the Pros (that's our maintenance team!):

  • If your heating decides to take an unexpected vacation




2. Don't Let Those Pipes Pull a Frozen

Your Part in This Adventure:

  • Keep the thermostat at 65°F minimum (yes, even when you're living it up in Mexico)


Time to Call Us When:

  • Your faucet's giving you the silent treatment
  • You spot any unwanted indoor water features




3. Snow and Ice Management 101

Your Winter Warrior Duties:

  • Keep that balcony clear (sorry, your personal ice rink will have to wait)
  • Deploy those entry mats like your floors depend on it
  • Be our eyes and ears for slippery spots


Time to Call Us When:

  • Common areas are looking more like a skating rink
  • You spot ice dams having a party on the roof




4. Keep the Good Vibes (and Air) Flowing

Your Cool Weather Tasks:

  • Combat that desert-dry air with a humidifier
  • Keep those vents clear and living their best life


Time to Call Us When:

  • Something smells funky or your heat's acting strange




5. Create Your Ultimate Cozy Corner

Your Comfort Mission:

  • Transform your space into a winter wonderland with soft blankets and warm lighting
  • Fire up that Netflix fireplace for instant ambiance
  • Create the perfect spot for hot cocoa and movie marathons


Time to Call Us When:

  • If you need recommendations for the best fuzzy socks (kidding, but wouldn't that be nice?)




There you have it! Follow these tips and you'll be living your best winter life in no time. Remember, we're just a message away if things get dicey. Stay warm, stay safe, and maybe treat yourself to that extra cup of hot chocolate - you deserve it! 🧊❄️☕
