Property maintenance questions and answers
Clear, direct answers for owners and property managers across Southern Ontario.
Property Maintenance Basics
What is the difference between property maintenance and property management?+
Property management handles tenants, leases, rent, and administration. Property maintenance is the physical upkeep of the building and grounds — asphalt, concrete, snow, landscaping, repairs, and cleaning. ALLPROP provides the maintenance side, working alongside owners and property managers.
What services are included in exterior property maintenance?+
Exterior property maintenance typically includes asphalt and paving, concrete repair, lawn and grounds care, snow and ice management, garbage and debris removal, exterior painting and sealing, and general repairs. ALLPROP covers all of these under one accountable team.
What's the cost of property maintenance in Ontario?+
Costs vary by property size, services, and frequency. One-time jobs are quoted per project, while recurring maintenance is usually priced as a seasonal or monthly plan. ALLPROP provides detailed, transparent quotes after a free site assessment so there are no surprises.
Commercial & Property Managers
How often should commercial properties be maintained?+
Commercial properties should be inspected seasonally, with grounds and debris on a recurring schedule, snow managed per storm, and asphalt and concrete inspected at least annually. A preventive plan keeps small issues from becoming costly repairs.
Who handles snow and ice liability for commercial properties?+
Property owners and managers carry liability for slip-and-fall incidents. ALLPROP reduces that exposure with timely, documented snow and de-icing service, including time-stamped logs that help demonstrate due diligence to insurers.
What should property managers outsource vs manage in-house?+
Managers typically keep tenant relations and administration in-house and outsource skilled, seasonal, and liability-sensitive work — snow, asphalt, concrete, grounds, and repairs — to a supervised vendor for consistency and accountability.
Asphalt, Concrete & Repairs
How often should asphalt or concrete be inspected?+
Asphalt and concrete should be inspected at least once a year, ideally each spring after the freeze-thaw season. Early detection of cracks, potholes, and trip hazards keeps repair costs low and reduces liability.
Why is supervised work better than hiring random subcontractors?+
Random subcontractors are inconsistent, often uninsured, and rarely communicate. ALLPROP supervises every job with a trained project lead, carries insurance, and keeps you informed — so the work gets done right the first time.
