Pets and Pet Dander

Services for Real Estate Pros with Homepointe Property Management

Dogs are a man's best friend right? Well dogs are not necessarily the best friend of a property manager. At Homepointe we like to not take a security deposit AND a pet deposit, but we lump both deposits into one. This way we do not need to decifer what damage is caused by a pet and what is caused by human. If something is damaged or needs cleaning then it comes out of the lumped deposit.

When it comes to cleaning up after a pet, the possiblities are endless. Our carpet cleaners are able to pull up the pad of carpet, seal the floor underneath, replace the pad, and steam clean, or dry clean the carpet on top. This leaves almost no room for the lingering smell of pets at the property. However, if there is a case the smell still exists, cleaners can also treat the carpet to remove these smells. If the carpet is so bad it cannot be cleaned, carpet cleaners can usually tell you whether it is worth spending the money to clean or not. In this case replacing the pad, carpet, and sealing the floor underneath is necessary before laying the new carpet to remove the smell.
