Why the right patio cover can make a big difference
I talk a lot about making your rental property inviting to
Tenants and making good Tenants happy and want to stay. Giving Tenants an oasis
in their back yard can go a long way. We talk about how to make a home technologically
friendly, but we often ignore the simple pleasures that we all need and that is
a nice place to relax and unwind.
An inviting place
We all have seen back yards that are very inviting, I have
sold homes on the basis of a great back yard, but we all have seen the opposite
too. Going into a backyard that has no landscaping and no patio or patio cover
makes the backyard a very undesirable place especially if the sun beats down
and there is no place to get shade.
Spending money making a backyard a nice place to be, is not
always a priority to a Landlord and that is understandable, but if you do have
the ability to make some changes to your yard, making the right choices can
actually save you money in the future.
The right patio cover
Let’s look at the patio cover. As a General contractor,
building with wood is a wonderful thing, but not for a patio cover. Most patio
covers unless they are completely closed have exposure to the weather and wood
and water do not mix well. If you want to have a patio cover that last and
still looks great, go with aluminum patio covers. There are many styles and
they look great, in fact you will have a hard time seeing the difference
between the aluminum cover and a wood cover.
The aluminum cover will not be destroyed by weather or
termites and you don’t need to paint every few years. The paint on a good
aluminum cover is baked on so it lasts for years and the styles that are
offered will give you a nice choice. The prices will vary from size to style,
but in the long run, the no maintenance cover will save you money and will look great for years to come.
When you are thinking about making your backyard a nice
place for a Tenant to enjoy, make sure you make the right choice when it comes
to your patio cover. The patio may not be the only reason your rental property
is desirable, but it can make the property a place that people enjoy and that
will go a long way when it comes to making good Tenants want to stay.
