(2) maintenance surveys and (3) yard checks. In Part 1 we will delve into how to make a property ready and the beginning of why maintenance surveys are important.

Summing It All Up

Be certain to get a written bid, obtain the necessary funds from the owner prior to work beginning and be certain all the work is completed before the final payment to the contractor.
