Keep Your Commercial Space Clean And Attractive

According to Marroquin Construction owner Robin Marroquin

, who works with commercial clients through his handyman services business in San Diego, building owners need to do everything they can in this economic climate to keep their retail spaces looking crisp and clean.

Basically, you want your building to attract new tenants, and those tenants arent going to come unless the space is attractive to customers as well. To do that, you must have a building that looks fresh, polished, and is in a well-lit area. The more polished a building looks, the more apt it is to attract the right kind of retail customers. Unfortunately, these very things that make up a successful commercial property happen to be the same things that go downhill on a property over time.

Freshening Up Old Space

I frequently get calls from commercial developers who are tired of hearing tenants complain about their old spaces and threaten to move out. These developers know something has to be done to their commercial retail spaces in order to keep their tenants happy, but they oftentimes just dont know what to do. If your tenants arent happy then they are just going to start moving on. That is why it is important to spend a little money to give your shopping center a newer look.

As a building gets older, it can seem harder and harder to maintain it and keep it looking fresh and new. Thats the point at which a lot of commercial property owners in San Diego end up calling for handyman services when they finally realize that they are going to start losing tenants if they dont freshen up their properties. For aging shopping centers and malls, the trick to keeping current tenants happy and luring newer tenants in is to keep all the spaces nice and clean. If a longtime tenant moves out, I recommend cleaning out the old space right away and prepping it for a new tenant immediately.

Using Neutral Colors

Its just easier to rent out a space that is already clean and ready to go. Usually, developers who wait for a new tenant to show interest in a space before sprucing it up could be waiting for a long time, since it can be difficult to lure potential tenants into a building or a shopping center with spaces that dont look move-in ready. Statistics have shown that retail spaces that are freshly painted using neutral colors are more likely to rent in a shorter amount of time than those that have not undergone any renovations since the previous tenant moved out.

Many property owners are worried that choosing a specific look or style for the space could turn off potential tenants, so they are hesitant to do much renovating before a new business has shown interest. But I warn against this approach. If you dont know who the new tenant is going to be just yet, then keep things neutral. Paint the walls white or beige, clean the windows, and install some new carpet. The businesses that come in are going to spend money and make their own changes anyway. So the best way to show a space is like a blank canvaswhite walls and a clean look.

Marroquin Construction

In San Diego, handyman services companies such as Marroquin Construction can turn over spaces in just a matter of hoursstarting work on a dirty store at 10 oclock in the evening and finishing up work at 6 in the morning, so as to not disturb customers during the day. Our job is to make it easier for a potential tenant to envision his particular business in the space without getting in peoples way.

To clean out a shopping center space, my team of professionals at Marroquin Construction will start by patching up any holes in the walls and painting everything in a neutral shade. Next, we will install a new floortypically either hardwood or carpetand switch out the lighting plates and outlets. For bigger jobs, my company will inspect the HVAC systems or install new toilets and sinks, depending on what needs to be done in the particular space. We just want the space to look as clean as possible, because if the space is clean, then it is easier for a person to envision his company being there.

While prices for this type of service vary wildly depending on how much work is needed, the potential consequences of not having a company come in to a space can be much worse than the simple cost of paying to have the cleaning job done. By hiring an experienced handyman service, you will make your commercial shopping center space more attractive to potential tenants.
