Summer Cleaning Checklist for Multifamily and Commercial Properties

Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

As temperatures rise and foot traffic increases, summer is the perfect time for property managers and building owners to refresh their properties and tackle seasonal maintenance needs. A clean, well-maintained property not only improves curb appeal but also enhances tenant satisfaction, protects property value, and helps prevent costly repairs down the road.

Summer cleaning checklist

At CAM Property Services, we help multifamily and commercial properties stay clean, safe, and summer-ready with comprehensive maintenance and cleaning solutions. Here’s a summer cleaning checklist every property manager should consider.

1. Pressure Wash High-Traffic Areas

Over time, dirt, oil stains, gum, algae, and debris build up on exterior surfaces. Summer is an ideal time to pressure wash:

  • Sidewalks
  • Parking garages and lots
  • Building exteriors
  • Pool decks
  • Dumpster enclosures
  • Entryways and common areas

Professional pressure washing instantly improves the appearance of your property while helping reduce slip hazards and long-term surface damage.

 

2. Deep Clean Common Areas

Summer often brings increased resident activity, visitors, and tenant traffic. Common areas should receive extra attention during this season.

Focus on:

  • Lobbies and reception areas
  • Elevators
  • Hallways
  • Clubhouses and lounges
  • Fitness centers
  • Shared restrooms

Routine janitorial services combined with periodic deep cleaning help create a healthier and more welcoming environment for residents, employees, and guests.

 

3. Inspect and Clean Trash Areas

Warmer temperatures can quickly lead to odors, pests, and bacteria buildup around trash enclosures and dumpsters.

Your summer checklist should include:

  • Steam cleaning trash areas
  • Sanitizing dumpster pads
  • Removing debris and bulky items
  • Cleaning trash chutes
  • Checking for pest activity

Maintaining clean waste areas improves sanitation and helps avoid complaints from tenants and residents.

 

4. Refresh Landscaping and Irrigation Systems

Curb appeal matters year-round, but especially during summer when landscaping is most visible.

Be sure to:

  • Trim overgrown trees and shrubs
  • Replace dead plants or flowers
  • Check irrigation systems for leaks or overspray
  • Remove weeds
  • Refresh mulch and ground cover

Drought-conscious landscaping and efficient irrigation can also help reduce water costs while maintaining a polished appearance.

 

5. Address Graffiti and Property Damage Quickly

Graffiti, stains, damaged signage, and neglected areas can negatively impact the perception of your property.

Summer is a great time to:

  • Remove graffiti promptly
  • Repaint faded areas
  • Repair damaged fencing or railings
  • Touch up exterior paint
  • Inspect lighting fixtures and signage

Fast response to cosmetic issues helps maintain a professional and well-managed appearance.

 

6. Clean HVAC Vents and Airflow Areas

Dust and debris buildup can affect indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency during peak cooling months.

Property managers should:

  • Replace HVAC filters
  • Clean vents and intake areas
  • Remove debris around rooftop units
  • Schedule preventative HVAC maintenance

Proper airflow and maintenance help improve tenant comfort while reducing strain on cooling systems.

 

7. Schedule Junk Removal and Bulk Hauling

Summer often brings move-outs, renovations, and increased bulk waste.

Consider scheduling hauling services for:

  • Abandoned furniture
  • Construction debris
  • Green waste
  • Storage cleanouts
  • Tenant move-out items

Keeping properties clutter-free improves safety, cleanliness, and operational efficiency.

 

8. Prioritize Parking Lot and Exterior Maintenance

Parking lots and exterior areas take a beating during the hotter months.

Inspect for:

  • Oil stains
  • Faded striping
  • Cracks or potholes
  • Broken curbs
  • Drainage issues

Routine maintenance helps extend the life of paved surfaces while improving safety and appearance.

    Top 3 Maintenance Issues to Address Before Summer

    Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

    As temperatures rise, so do service requests, system strain, and tenant expectations. From our experience across multifamily and commercial portfolios, the properties that perform best in summer are the ones that prepare before the heat hits, not after.

    Here are three areas that consistently separate reactive properties from well-run ones:

    Outdoor shopping area

    1. HVAC System Readiness

    HVAC System Readiness

    HVAC systems carry the heaviest load during summer and small issues tend to become major failures under sustained heat.

    Routine inspections and filter replacements are essential, but what’s often overlooked is system performance under peak conditions. Units that appear functional in spring can struggle once temperatures spike.

    A proactive approach now helps:

    • Reduce emergency service calls
    • Extend equipment life
    • Maintain consistent comfort for tenants

    2. Irrigation System Efficiency

    Irrigation System Efficiency

    Water usage typically increases during summer months, and inefficiencies can go unnoticed until bills rise or landscaping declines.

    Common issues we see include:

    • Misaligned sprinkler heads
    • Leaks or overwatering in low-need areas
    • Timers not adjusted for seasonal changes

    Addressing these early not only reduces costs but also supports more sustainable landscape management — especially important in drought-conscious regions.

    3. Planning Ahead for Fall & Winter

    Planning Ahead for Fall & Winter

    One of the most overlooked opportunities in property management is planning the next season before the current one peaks.

    Summer is the ideal time to begin budgeting and scheduling for:

    • Tree trimming and seasonal transitions
    • Stormwater and drainage readiness
    • Exterior repairs and preventative maintenance
    • Parking lot repairs and resurfacing

    Early planning allows for better vendor availability, more competitive pricing, and more thoughtful prioritization of capital and operational expenses.

    A Practical Approach

    The most effective property managers operate on a year-round maintenance strategy, not a seasonal checklist. Addressing immediate needs while planning ahead creates a more stable, predictable operation.

    Proactive maintenance isn’t just about avoiding problems, it’s about creating consistency across your property, from cost control to tenant explaining

    If you’re evaluating your summer readiness or planning ahead for the rest of the year, having a clear maintenance plan in place can make a measurable difference.

    CAM Property Services Can Provide a Summer Readiness Walkthrough and Help Outline a Maintenance Plan Tailored to Your Property or Portfolio.

      The World Cup is Coming to Los Angeles. Is Your Property Ready?

      Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

      What the 2026 Fifa World Cup means for LA property owners and managers, and the properties they own.

      The 2026 FIFA World Cup will bring unprecedented attention to Los Angeles. With the city hosting eight matches at SoFi Stadium, an estimated 150,000–180,000 visitors are expected to arrive specifically for the tournament, with hundreds of thousands more moving through the region during the event. At the same time, each match will be broadcast to a global audience averaging roughly 175 million viewers, meaning Los Angeles neighborhoods, streets, and commercial corridors will be showcased to hundreds of millions of people around the world. In total, the tournament is projected to generate over a billion dollars in media exposure for the region, along with hundreds of millions in direct tourism spending.

      1. Global Exposure: World Cup vs Other Events

      Key Takeaway - Global Broadcast Audience Infographic

      The World Cup is the largest broadcast event on earth, meaning Los Angeles properties will be seen indirectly by billions of viewers worldwide.

      For property owners and managers, this level of global attention represents both an opportunity and a responsibility. Visitors, investors, and prospective tenants will be experiencing Los Angeles not only through the games themselves, but also through the condition of the communities surrounding them including shopping centers, apartment buildings, office campuses, and neighborhood streets. Properties that are clean, well-maintained, and visually appealing reinforce the city’s reputation and attract the kind of tenants and customers owners want long after the tournament ends. Conversely, deferred maintenance such as overgrown landscaping, worn sidewalks, neglected common areas, can create a very different impression.

      2. Los Angeles Impact from the 2026 World Cup

      Key Takeaway - Global Broadcast Audience Infographic

      Simple insight: When hundreds of thousands of visitors and millions of online viewers see Los Angeles neighborhoods, every property becomes part of the city’s presentation.

      4. The Window to Act Is Now

      Strategic investment in property upkeep over the next 12–18 months not only prepares assets for the influx of visitors, but also enhances long-term property value and tenant satisfaction. Now is the time to think proactively about:

      • Landscaping and ground maintenance
      • Pressure washing and surface cleaning
      • Deferred repairs and maintenance catch-up
      • Overall curb appeal and common area presentation

      When the world’s attention turns to Los Angeles, the properties that stand out will be the ones that chose to prepare.

      Let’s Get Your Property World Cup Ready

      CAM Property Services helps LA property owners and managers prepare their assets for maximum curb appeal, tenant satisfaction, and long-term value.

        Government Contract Work for Basic Property Services

        Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

        The trend to use contract labor for municipality needs is on the rise as local governments rely more on outsourced contract work to provide basic services once fulfilled by city and county workers. This offers clear advantages as private companies adapt more easily to fluctuations in demand and regulatory changes, while providing services by workers with specialized property skills.

        During the pandemic slowdown, facilities were able to get by with limited staffing and deferred maintenance. As the general public begins to congregate in greater numbers, city governments, county departments, business improvement districts (BIDs), and even schools are turning to commercial property services companies for assistance with primary property needs.

        municipalities local government services outsourced property services municipality contract labor
        sweeper truck picking up trash with parking lots daily cleaning

        CAM Property Services, a California-based company, recently secured a contract to provide “janitorial services in three City of Pasadena parking lots.” Contracted services include daily cleaning of parking lots including use of a sweeper truck, picking up trash, emptying public trash cans, and pulling weeds in tree wells. While this is not their first municipal contract, it represents a shift toward more basic services than previous contracts covered.

        As cities face difficulties in meeting their standard labor needs, they are outsourcing tasks that have traditionally been handled internally. They are finding mid-sized companies that provide a variety of services are in the best position to meet these needs.

        Service companies also tend to provide staff with a higher degree of skill and expertise in a particular service. They often come with specialized equipment and experience across multiple asset classes, therefore can provide a higher level of professional service than a general laborer might.

        Janitorial, day porter, facility repair, parking lot maintenance, sweeping, landscaping, and power washing are some of the services now being outsourced on a regular basis as municipalities turn to property service providers to fill the void left by unfilled job vacancies.

        municipal contract labor needs landscaping labor shortages decline property conditions
        cam property service company submit a bid government bidding process

        On the other side of this equation, property service providers can also face labor shortages and tend to lean toward servicing entities with which they have a prior relationship or wish to establish a new, long-term business arrangement.

        Picking up government contract work is no easy task for companies either. The process requires strict adherence to bidding guidelines. Financial transparency, substantive liability coverage, human resources adaptability, and proven operational proficiency are a few of the hurdles required just to qualify and submit a bid for government contracts. Besides the significant amount of work that goes into bidding these jobs, the minimum performance qualifications present a high bar that many service companies are unable to meet, thereby excluding those companies from submitting a bid.

        If you are a government entity, you may wish to establish a relationship with a property service company before the need becomes dire. Working out the nuances of bid contract work and building rapport is better achieved under normal circumstances.

        As every sector readjusts to post-pandemic conditions, many of these variances may become the norm. Municipalities will adjust their labor needs and processes, the benefits of outsourced property services will be realized, and the labor force will take on a different form. A shift in the way you contract business today will help keep your “supply chain” of property services steady to meet future needs.

            Winter is Coming: Is Your Property Prepared to Weather the Storm?

            Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

            From roof inspection to stormwater management, CAM has you covered

            As the winter season approaches, Southern Californians may not experience the frigid temperatures and snowfall that residents in other parts of the country do. However, it’s essential for commercial property owners to recognize that even in milder climates, winter weather can bring its own set of challenges.

            At CAM Property Services, we’re uniquely attuned to those needs, and available to assist property managers, building owners and municipalities prepare for the colder, wetter months ahead. By taking a proactive approach to winterizing your property, you can ensure its longevity and the satisfaction of its tenants.

            Property Experts Initiating Drone Inspection

            Roof Inspection

            Southern California may not see snowfall this winter, but rain and occasional storms still pose a threat — especially during an El Niño winter. That’s why you should initiate the winterization process now with a thorough inspection of your property’s roof, utilizing CAM’s Drone Inspection Service.

            Our eye-in-the-sky technology can reveal signs of damage, loose shingles, water leaks and other issues. A thorough and professional roof inspection by our Property Pros can identify potential vulnerabilities and prevent more extensive damage from occurring during winter precipitation.

            Stormwater Management

            Proper drainage is crucial to prevent water damage to your property, especially during the winter months. CAM’s Property Pros will clean out gutters and downspouts, removing any debris that may have accumulated over the year. This can help ensure that stormwater is directed away from your building, preventing potential flooding or damage to the foundation.

            The proper treatment of stormwater runoff is important on several levels. CAM can help commercial property owners with compliance, design, and construction to overcome potential penalties and permitting issues. We also perform stormwater inspections and certification for municipalities by conducting regular inspections of their equipment.

            Exterior Inspection

            CAM’s Property Pros will thoroughly inspect your building’s exterior for any cracks, gaps, holes, or other structural vulnerabilities. Once identified, we’ll repair any openings in the walls, windows, or doors to prevent drafts and heat loss during those chilly winter nights.

            Proper insulation not only keeps your commercial property comfortable but also contributes to energy efficiency, reducing utility costs.

            Irrigation Systems

            Southern California typically experiences cooler temperatures and increased rainfall during the winter months. Commercial property owners can take advantage of these seasonal conditions by having CAM adjust their building’s irrigation systems.

            Our Property Pros can reduce watering frequency and adjust the schedule to align with the seasonal weather patterns and daylight savings time This not only conserves water but also prevents overwatering, which can lead to issues like mold and mildew.

            CAM has the knowledge, experience, and expertise to beautify your landscaping while reducing water use and costs. We do this by conducting extensive water audits, installing weather-tolerant landscaping and smart irrigation systems throughout your commercial property.

            Outdoor Furniture and Landscaping

            Our Property Pros can help protect outdoor furniture and landscaping elements from potential winter damage. From moving sensitive plants or covering them during colder nights to storing outdoor furniture in a dry, sheltered location to prevent weather-related wear and tear, CAM has you covered.

            By taking these steps, commercial property owners can preserve the aesthetics of their property and extend the life of outdoor assets.

            Pressure Washing

            The aftermath of winter storms can wreak havoc on your property, not only causing damage but robbing it of its aesthetic appeal with accumulated dirt, grime, and damage. Fortunately, CAM has a variety of tools and techniques to keep your commercial property looking its best. We understand that every hard surface is different and requires special cleaning methods — and we have them all.

            CAM employs cleansers, detergents, disinfectants, virucides, germicides, environmental green solutions, and high-temperature agents to clean and sanitize. Our Property Pros get the job done by utilizing pressure washing and steam cleaning to make your commercial building sparkle again like new, delaying the need for re-painting for up to another year.

            CAM Has You Covered

            Winterizing your Southern California property may not involve heavy snow removal or extreme cold-weather preparations, but it’s still essential to address specific challenges associated with the season. By taking a proactive approach to maintenance and preparation, you can ensure the resilience and longevity of your commercial property.

            At CAM Property Services, we are committed to helping commercial property owners navigate the unique needs of Southern California.

              Pressure Washing

              Over time, dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other unsightly contaminants accumulate on various surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways, decks and patios. These not only detract from the overall appearance of your property but can also pose safety hazards. CAM uses state-of-the-art high-pressure washing and steam cleaning equipment to effectively remove stubborn stains, restore surfaces to their original condition, and enhance curb appeal. Pressure washing also helps extend the lifespan of outdoor surfaces by eliminating corrosive substances and preventing long-term damage. By entrusting CAM with pressure washing, you can enjoy a cleaner, safer, and more inviting outdoor environment that leaves a lasting, fresh smelling, and positive impression on tenants, visitors and potential buyers.

              Landscaping

              Spring may be over, but weeds and overgrown vegetation never take a break. Our Landscaping Experts can ensure your property is always in season. From planting colorful flowers and ornamental shrubs to installing sustainable irrigation systems and creating inviting outdoor seating areas, CAM can transform your landscaping into a beautiful and welcoming environment. Additionally, summer’s warm weather is the right time to show off your outdoor space, so contact the Property Pros today to calendar your upgrades before the dog days of August are here!

                Keeping Your Cool: CAM Property Services Ensures Buildings Run Efficiently — No Matter How Hot it Gets

                Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

                From drone inspections to pressure washing and landscaping, our Property Pros can get the job done

                With temperatures seemingly reaching all-time highs on a daily basis, this summer is proving to be a real scorcher — and the heatwave across Southern California shows no sign of letting up any time soon. With record temps in the forecast and the dog days of summer looming, it’s a critical time for property owners and managers to ensure that their buildings are running as efficiently as possible.

                Enter CAM Property Services, well equipped with the tools and highly trained experts to help your building keep its cool, no matter how hot it gets. From drone inspections to pressure washing, landscaping and irrigation, our Property Pros can help:

                Aerial drone inspection

                Instead of climbing on top of a hot roof or walking a scorching asphalt parking lot, have CAM inspect your property using aerial drone video and photography. Our drone experts are FAA certified — not just glorified hobbyists — and can get you the data you need using GIS mapping. That information is then stored safely in the cloud, so it can be accessed at any point to create a detailed forecast of preventative maintenance and capital expenditures. Trust CAM to be your certified eye in the sky and collect high-value information.

                Our team can handle the most valuable seasonal work on your property, such as sustainable irrigation and landscaping upgrades. To boot, we can help you take advantage of rebate programs for plant material and irrigation components that conserve water, saving you some green while making your property look ‘best on block’.

                Pressure washing

                Summer is a good time for pressure washing your property. With warmer weather and longer daylight hours, the conditions are ideal for effectively cleaning the exterior of your building. By removing dirt, grime, mold, and mildew that may have accumulated during the winter and spring, pressure washing not only enhances the appearance of your property but also prevents potential damage.

                  How CAM Property Services Can Help Your Company Be Water-Wise

                  Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

                  The drought has hit the state of California hard. In March, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the first three months of 2022 were the driest ever recorded in the state’s history. On top of this, in 2021, all 58 California counties were under a drought emergency proclamation.

                  It’s clear that we all need to do our part to help reduce water usage and get California back on track. As individuals, the state of California recommends water usage tips such as turning off the faucet when brushing your teeth and taking five-minute showers, but what can companies do to conserve water usage and avoid overuse fees?

                  CAM Property Services, your commercial property management expert, recommends the following best practices:

                  1. Install Smart Irrigation Systems
                  A large amount of our water is used outdoors for landscaping, but according to the state of California, much of it can be lost through evaporation, wind, and runoff. More efficient irrigation systems can prevent this, resulting in reduced water usage and preventing overuse fees. Our CAM Property Services experts can help not only pinpoint water loss but also install smart irrigation systems to prevent it.

                  2. Install Drought Tolerant Landscaping
                  Another way to reduce the amount of water used outside is to install drought-tolerant landscaping. According to Save Our Water, the use of drought-resistant plants and trees can save you 30-60 gallons per 1000 sq. ft. each time you water them. CAM can help in this process by removing your current landscaping and installing more water-conservative fauna that is indigent to the area.

                  3. Set Your Mower Blades to 3 Inches
                  If you’ve grown attached to your lawn, don’t fret! Another easy-to-implement tip to save water is to set your mower blade to three inches. According to the state of California, such a simple trick can allow your grass to grow deeper roots, saving up to 50 gallons of water per day. Our experts at CAM Property Services can easily implement this tip, saving you water without sacrificing the landscaping you’ve grown to love.

                  4. Fix Leaks On Your Property
                  This may come as no surprise, but fixing any leaks both outside and inside your building is one of the most effective ways to save water. According to the state of California, a leaky faucet that lets out one drip-per-second can lose you over 3,200 gallons of water per year! Luckily for you, the experts at CAM Property Services are trained not only in fixing leaks inside and outside the building but in identifying them as well. You’ll have peace of mind in knowing that we identify and eliminate all leaks, reduce the amount of water your building uses, and help avoid costly fees.

                    Why there’s value in showcasing your company’s values

                    Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

                    When it comes to taking a stance on issues customers care about, companies can no longer afford to stay on the sidelines. According to Envirotech, 65 percent of sales measured globally were generated by companies that conveyed a commitment to social and environmental value.

                    The takeaway is clear — to stay competitive, you must use your voice.

                    When considering how your company approaches this challenge, it helps to break it down into three categories: environmental, societal, and governance, otherwise known as ESG.

                    Environmental issues include reducing your carbon footprint and overall impact on the environment. Societal issues include promoting volunteerism to increase employee well-being. Finally, governance involves demonstrating an adherence to following government guidelines.

                    Fortunately, you don’t have to tackle ESG alone, CAM Property Services is here to help you practice what you preach.

                    ENVIRONMENTAL

                    The environmental aspect of ESG most typically involves the implementation of green energy to reduce your carbon footprint. That can mean moving to solar energy or driving electric vehicles. Another way companies are being environmentally mindful is by implementing more water-wise strategies and consumption practices.

                    CAM Property Services can be of assistance in this undertaking. Our experts can ensure that your business’ solar panels are well maintained and that the energy being collected is being put to good use. We can also assist in the installation of EV charging stations and secure rebates to reduce the cost. CAM can help ensure that water isn’t being wasted from leaks while transitioning your business to more water-friendly landscaping to reduce overall use.

                    From solar to water, CAM is your go-to expert in being a more environmentally mindful business.

                    SOCIAL

                    The social aspect of ESG is commonly associated with maintaining the emotional well-being of your employees. People take note of companies that treat their employees well and studies show that mental well-being can lead to an increase in productivity. It may seem like a daunting task, but there are several ways one can improve the mental wellness of their employees.

                    One major way is to improve and maintain the workspace. CAM Property Services’ consultants are specially trained to evaluate the workplace, ensuring everything is optimally designed, safe and up to code. By keeping the workplace in order, employees feel safe and are often more productive.

                    GOVERNMENT

                    The final aspect of ESG concerns following government ordinances. In California, there are plenty of restrictions and regulations that can cost you a pretty penny if left ignored. Fortunately, CAM’s experts can help you navigate this minefield. From following the Clean Water Act to making sure your building is ADA compliant, CAM is the team you can trust.
