Seasonal prep is just one way Alpine keeps your properties rental-ready year-round.

Spring into Smart Property Management

Spring isn’t just about blooming flowers and longer days—it’s also prime time for rental property maintenance. A well-maintained property not only keeps your tenants happy, it preserves value and boosts rental income over time. For owners focused on real estate investing in Kansas City, spring maintenance is essential for staying ahead.

At Alpine Property Management, our spring checklist goes beyond the basics. Here’s how we keep your rentals performing, prevent expensive repairs, and support your long-term investment goals.


1. Exterior Property Inspection

After a long winter, we start by walking the property and identifying damage caused by snow, ice, or fluctuating temperatures.

Our checklist includes:

  • Siding, brick, and paint checks for cracks or peeling
  • Foundation inspections for settling or water pooling
  • Roof and gutter assessments

📢 Catching minor issues early = avoiding major repair bills later.

2. HVAC Tune-Up & Filter Replacement

Spring is the perfect time to service heating and cooling systems before summer heat sets in.

We handle:

  • HVAC system inspection and cleaning
  • Air filter replacements for better efficiency
  • Recommendations for system upgrades, if needed

📢 Well-maintained systems reduce tenant complaints and lower utility costs.


3. Landscaping & Curb Appeal Refresh

First impressions matter. A tidy, green exterior helps attract and retain tenants—and boosts property value.

Alpine coordinates:

  • Lawn mowing and fertilization
  • Pruning trees and shrubs
  • Power washing driveways and walkways

📢 Spring curb appeal can boost rental demand and keep your units full.

4. Safety & Compliance Checks

Keeping your property code-compliant helps you avoid fines and keeps tenants safe.

Our team inspects:

  • Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms
  • Handrails, lighting, and exterior stairs
  • Locks and entry security

📢 Good safety practices also reduce liability and protect your investment.


5. Preventive Pest Control

Warmer weather brings out the bugs—and pests can cause costly damage if left unchecked.

Alpine takes action with:

  • Property-wide pest prevention treatments
  • Recommendations for sealing entry points
  • Ongoing vendor management for quarterly follow-ups

📢 An ounce of pest control is worth a pound of emergency calls.

6. Interior Condition & Seasonal Updates

It’s not just the outside that matters. Spring is a great time to evaluate interiors and improve tenant experience.

We look for:

  • Water leaks under sinks and around toilets
  • Caulking in kitchens and baths
  • Window screen replacements and blinds adjustments

📢 Little touch-ups go a long way in tenant satisfaction and lease renewals.


7. Maintenance Reporting for Owners

Transparency matters. After inspections and work are complete, we send owners a detailed report with photos, repair summaries, and next-step recommendations.

📢 This keeps you in the loop without needing to be on-site.
