Owning a second home comes with its own set of maintenance challenges, especially when you’re not around to manage them. Here are the top maintenance issues second homeowners face and how 36 North Properties takes care of them:

1. Water Damage and Leaks

Water damage is one of the most common and costly issues for second homes, often going unnoticed until it’s too late. We conduct regular inspections to catch leaks early, arrange for prompt repairs, and take preventive measures to protect your property from future issues.

2. HVAC System Failures

An HVAC system breakdown can be a major inconvenience, especially in extreme weather. We ensure that your system is regularly serviced and functioning efficiently. If a problem arises, we have trusted HVAC technicians ready to resolve it quickly.

3. Pest Infestations

Unoccupied homes are often targets for pests like rodents, termites, and insects. We arrange for routine pest control services to keep your property pest-free and handle any infestations swiftly if they occur.

4. Appliance Repairs

Appliances that sit unused for long periods can malfunction. We test all appliances regularly and coordinate repairs or replacements as needed, ensuring your property is always ready for occupancy.

5. Landscaping and Exterior Maintenance

The exterior of your home is the first thing people see, so maintaining its curb appeal is essential. We take care of everything from lawn care to exterior painting, ensuring your property always looks its best.

Proper maintenance is key to preserving the value and appeal of your second home. At 36 North Properties, we take a proactive approach to managing these issues, so you don’t have to. Let us handle the details while you enjoy the peace of mind that comes with professional property management.
