It emphasizes avoiding uncertain or high-risk repairs, recommending professional help for plumbing, electrical, structural problems, and work at heights, and using licensed and insured contractors. It provides outdoor project safety steps via locate requests, assigns maintenance responsibility to staff and members, and highlights curb-appeal considerations.

Discern when to hire a professional and ask for referrals and references. Get several quotes for projects and make sure contractors are adequately licensed and insured.  \nW When undertaking a maintenance task, use proper skin, ear, and eye, and respiratory protective equipment.  \nW Prior to beginning an outdoor project (i.e. Planting trees and shrubbery, building a fence, installing a sprinkler system, building a deck, constructing concrete driveways, patios, and sidewalks, installing a mailbox post) Make a “locate request” online [at](at www.kansas811.com)[ ](at www.kansas811.com)[www.kansas811.com](at www.kansas811.com), call 811, or 1-800-DIG-SAFE. This agency takes calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you are unsure, make the call.  \nW Maintenance is everybody’s concern. Repeatedly ask staV and church members for any  \nobserved issues related to building maintenance. Make a list, prioritize the tasks, and promote a regular “Work Day” that includes food/fellowship for greater capacity to address issues in a timely manner.  \nW Buildings and locations are diVerent, and this list is not comprehensive. Alter this document as required for specific needs. Consider adding maintenance items onto an additional calendar for pop-up reminders.  \nAesthetics matter!  \nW What is the curb appeal of the church? What is your best feature and what are ways to promote or improve it? What would a visitor with “fresh eyes” have to say about the condition and appeal of physical plant and grounds?  \nSpring Maintenance  \n• Inspect HVAC ducts for debris and dust buildup.  \n• Service AC units and clean coils.  \n• Clean and prep the landscaping. Reseed bare areas of lawn and place sprinklers with timers for consistent watering/best results.  \n• Trim trees and shrubs. Clean debris from garden beds and landscaping.  \n• Aerate and apply pre-emergent weed control and grass fertilizer (late Feb to April) . Aeration optional and may be every 2-3 years depending on foot traVic and composition. Can also be done in fall instead of spring  \n• Split perennials, move or propagate small plantings from densely populated plant areas for use in areas that need it. When digging in new areas, make a “locate request.”  \n• Check the irrigation system and establish a watering schedule for grass/plants.  \n• Inspect the grounds for water run-oV or erosion issues.  \n• Clear downspouts, gutters, scuppers, internal drains. Evaluate any loosening or loss of gutter slope aVecting water drainage. Add downspout extenders if necessary to channel water away from foundation. Change grade around foundation if necessary to increase water runoV away from buildings.  \n• Evaluate French drains for improper function caused by clogs, root intrusion, pipe damage; evaluate swale drains for leaf or trash debris or invasive plant growth.  \n• Pressure wash hardscapes, walkways, and building exterior. An eco-friendly cleanser additive can remove unsightly dark mold and algae.  \n• Inspect outdoor lighting for damage.  \n• Check backup electrical/power systems (if applicable) .  \n• Apply late Spring broadleaf weed control and grass fertilizer 6-8 weeks after Spring treatment (April -June) .  \nSummer Maintenance  \n• Clean debris from the roof and check for damage. Evaluate valleys, chimney flashing, flat top roof drains, and other roof features for cracked or missing sealant that may cause future leaking.  \n• Apply Summer root growth and grass fertilizer 6-8 weeks after Spring treatment (JuneAugust) .  \n• Confirm that the trash and recycling area is in good condition, rebuild fencing o","cbCaieLKOkzHvPA1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieLKOkzHvPA1","pdf",69362,"English","# Church Maintenance Plan\n## Maintenance Principles\n## Aesthetics and Visitor Perspective\n## Spring Maintenance\n## Summer Maintenance\n## Fall Maintenance\n## Winter Maintenance","[{\"question\":\"What guiding principles does the plan give for repairs and maintenance decisions?\",\"answer\":\"Use consistent vigilance and detect issues early to prevent or minimize costly repairs.
