Upkeep Lot Cleaners

It's time to get everything at your property ready for fall.

As landscapers and crews make their rounds for last-minute summer jobs, we stopped by one of our regular clients' properties for some extra help.

The crew before us did a great job getting everything cut down. The only problem was the little mess left behind, which really wasn't a problem at all.

The owner called and asked if we could take care of it on our next scheduled cleaning, but that wasn’t for another five days. So we showed up the next day and got it looking brand new.

We could have waited until the next time we were out there, but we understand these are people's homes, and they take pride in them too.

So if we can take care of it, we will. No questions asked!

It's very fulfilling to watch hard work come to life.

Like with this shopping center we have been cleaning for over a year.

When we first met with Shawna, she was excited to see how much of a difference we would help make at her property.

She was working on refreshing the entire shopping center. Which meant new tenants, repaving the parking lot, new contractors, the old tenants moving out, etc.

So throughout the year we would send her updates showing how everything was going. Letting her know if anything wasn't done or needed to be cleaned up and taking care of anything else she needed done.

Now that everything is complete, the hard work seems to be paying off.

The vet is already bringing in new foot and paw traffic.

Shawna with PMA (Property Management Advisors) has done an amazing job at getting this shopping center looking brand new and Upkeep Lot CleanersUpkeep Lot Cleaners is proud to be a part of the journey!

Even with July ending there's still plenty of time to make the most of the summer. One thing that always means summer work getting done is a dumpster on the property.

Remodels and storage cleanouts go nowhere without a dumpster to haul everything away, but what happens when the dumpster leaves a mess too?

What sometimes happens is there's too much stuffed into the dumpster and it spills over when it's being hauled away. Or even the stuff being put into the dumpster creates a mess on the way in.

Either way, whatever's left behind shouldn't stop you from getting the most out of these last few weeks!

New mulch on a property always looks great, but what happens when there's too much?

A lot of the time, after heavy rain or strong winds, it overflows into the parking lot.

It usually ends up mixing with dust and trash before settling in the corners of the parking lot.

Landscapers don't always have time to come back on a different day just to stay and clean up.

That's why at all of our properties, we make sure to clean up what's left behind in every corner.

It's not often that property managers reach out to us with an issue we can't help them fix.

One of the shopping centers we service was preparing for the grand opening of a new restaurant.

The problem was the exterior of the building needed to be soft washed.

The bricks were falling apart and leaving behind a white, chalky powder along the walls and walkway.

Not exactly the first impression you want when new customers are walking through the doors for the first time.

So we got there before opening and made sure the walls were clean and the bricks were shining.

I don't plan on adding soft washing to the company flyer, but if more property managers need it, I'll happily reconsider.

The best way to make your property look clean and professional is to hire someone to come clean it.

Like us.

Or you can focus on areas that help it look clean. One of the best ways I've seen this summer is a fresh seal coat for your parking lot.

It doesn't help much when there's new trash blowing over it right away, so combining the two has really made this property stand out.

It looks great.

but it isn't the most fun to work on in heat like today.

We mainly talk about shopping centers and big cleanups that we do throughout Wisconsin.

That isn't going to change.

But we wanted to highlight an area of our services that might get overlooked by the big shopping center cleanups.

Milwaukee during the summertime has something for everyone, but not everyone lives here or cares about how it looks the next day.

Which is why we help apartments and businesses keep everything clean through all the foot traffic and new visitors.

So even if it's a parking garage or just a small area out front that collects trash, we'd love to help.

There's nothing better than summertime in Wisconsin!

The only issue is the return of litter bugs.

Well-kept parking lots and landscaped areas are their favorite places to leave their mess behind.

The good thing is, you don't have to deal with them alone.

If you or someone you know struggles with these bugs during the summertime, we can help.

This week we were able to update our growing list of the different types of properties we service.

This one's a vacant lot that needs help being maintained.

It's easy to forget about a property like this with so many in the portfolio.

No one coming and going, or complaints demanding attention. But that's exactly when the trash starts to pile up in silence.

Parking lots and commercial buildings go through phases while switching ownership.

You don't want to leave it and let it collect trash while there isn't much activity.

With this one out of commission for now, we're happy to step in and keep it clean and ready.
