Know What Items Are Prohibited From Your Porches, Yards, Balconies & Roofs

Like it or not, the City of Columbus residential zoning code prohibits certain items from certain places in and around your home. This includes the porches, decks, balconies, roofs & yards at your rental properties and the home you live in.

At no time are you or your tenants allowed to have any of the following items in any of the aforementioned areas:

>Upholstered furniture (including mattresses & similar) and other similar products not designed, built and manufactured for outdoor use

>Machinery 

>Household appliances

>Junk or salvage

>Construction equipment, lumber & building materials

>Cars, car parts & tires 

>Boats, RVs, Jet skis, airplanes.

Nearly All Leaves Have Fallen. Get Your Gutters Cleaned Now!

As we've previously stated, it's imperative to clean your gutters regularly, especially each Fall/Winter after the leaves have fallen & before major snowfall.

Clogged gutters can lead to a plethora of future problems that may be both hard to identify and hard to solve. Instead of playing the guessing game with leaks & major water intrusion or foundation problems, be proactive. Budget for two gutter cleanings per year & be sure to complete at least one each Fall.

Campus Handyman is proud to provide gutter cleaning services for your rentals around Columbus. Don't hesitate to contact us to help protect your.

Weekly Grounds Pick-Up At High Traffic Rentals

If your rentals are in a highly populated or overly trafficked area, you may want to consider a regular grounds clean-up program.

Each Monday, one of our Exterior Specialists works a list of homes, picking up trash & debris and properly disposing of it.

While you should instruct your tenants to keep the exterior of their homes clean & free of trash/debris at all times, often they will not comply. Instead of being the landlord with the trashy home, spend a little extra time & money to have the grounds kept clean,.
