Property Manager Resources
Practical guides for St. Louis property managers, landlords & rental property owners.
Managing rental properties involves much more than collecting rent. Every property goes through a cycle of maintenance, tenant turnover, marketing, inspections, repairs, and ongoing upkeep. We've created this resource center to help property owners and managers make better decisions about exterior maintenance, property presentation, and preparing rentals for the next tenant.
Whether you manage one single-family rental or an entire portfolio, these resources are designed to save time, reduce guesswork, and help your properties present at their best. This page will keep growing as new guides, checklists, and case studies are published.

Real projects
Before & after gallery
Nothing demonstrates the value of exterior cleaning better than real projects. A full gallery is planned with categories including single-family rentals, duplexes, four-family properties, driveways, house washing, sidewalks, and entryways — each with a brief project summary, services performed, before-and-after images, and lessons learned when applicable.
A preview of what the full gallery will document — real jobs, not stock photos. Full gallery coming soon
Why we built this resource center
Most property management vendors focus on selling a service. We'd rather become a reliable resource. If these guides help you make better decisions — even when you don't hire us — we've accomplished our goal. When the time comes to improve your property's presentation, we'd appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.

Looking for practical advice on a specific property?
Every rental is different. If you're unsure where to start, we'll walk the property with you and recommend only the exterior improvements that make sense for your goals and budget.
Frequently asked questions
How often should rental properties be professionally cleaned?
The answer depends on tree cover, traffic, weather exposure, and the property's overall condition. Many properties benefit from routine exterior cleaning every one to three years.
What's the best time to schedule exterior cleaning?
Between tenants is often ideal, but routine maintenance before heavy staining develops is usually the most cost-effective approach.
Which improvement usually has the biggest visual impact?
Driveway cleaning, house washing, and entryway cleaning often provide the greatest improvement relative to cost.
Do all rental properties need a full exterior cleaning?
No. One of our core philosophies is recommending only the work that will create meaningful value.
