Without the right level of care, your bank could be communicating that:
You’re irresponsible with money
If your building is beset by faded paint, cracked sidewalks, or lights that don’t all work, your customers will take notice. If you can’t even be bothered to fix the minor issues on your property, how can they trust you to take care of their money? Maybe the reason you don’t repair things is because your bank itself isn’t smart with money—and that’s the worst possible conclusion a potential banking customer could reach.
You don’t care about customers
Poorly maintained buildings can have real-world consequences for customers. Broken pieces of sidewalks or indoor tile can leave wheelchair and cane users without a safe path into the building. Doors with unstable hinges that don’t close all the way could be leaving guests vulnerable when they visit the ATM outside of business hours. Working toward a clean, upkept building shows that you care about your customers and their safety. Research shows that an inadequately maintained or dirty space can even influence your clients’ decisions and emotions!
Your services aren’t reliable
Maybe you’re committed to fixing your building’s problems, but they just seem to keep cropping up. Visitors will notice if consistent problems require constant fixes that always result in a repair company being present every time they visit. If you can’t choose a reliable provider who actually fixes an issue for the long term, does your bank really have the wherewithal to decide how to provide satisfactory business over the long term, either?
How the Pros Can Help
Banks need to stay on top of maintenance in order to retain customers and even comply with legal standards for liability and accessibility. Choosing a top-notch handyman service to provide polite, on-time repairs is essential—but it’s also important to select carefully. Go for a business like Mr. Handyman that can provide multiple high-quality services from the same team. This prevents the hassle of juggling multiple types of contractors and ensures consistency in the quality of work. You’ll get repairs that last for the long haul, which saves you money (and reputation) over time.
Some of the things that a dependable team can provide include:
At the Building Itself
Many of the repairs a team of handymen can tackle will be at the bank itself.
- Parking Lot Repair – Filling potholes, patching cracks, and repainting lines to keep the space safe and easy to understand
- Door Installation & Repair – Fixing hinges, accessible door openers, and doorway seals to ensure doors open smoothly and keep drafts out
- Restroom Repair – Installing or fixing accessibility features, addressing leaks, and installing new fixtures to improve the experience
- Painting Services – Touching up old paint or repainting to convey the financial institution’s identity and quality
- Cubicle & Furniture Assembly – Creating comfortable spaces for clients to wait until it’s their turn to be served
- Fence Installation & Repair – Building secure demarcations that keep visitors safe and prevent property damage
- Removal of Graffiti – Pressure washing and stripping unwanted markings to remove hateful and inappropriate messages that threaten the bank’s image and ethics
The bank’s central property isn’t the only place where handymen can be helpful! Foreclosed homes also require fixing before the bank can sell them.
On Foreclosed Properties
- Minor Electrical and Plumbing Repairs – Switching outlets for code compliance, replacing worn-out pipes, and more
- Fence Repairs – Installing new planks or gates to replace damaged ones, which can significantly increase the sale value of the property
- Drywall Fixes – Mending dents or other drywall damage to keep the structure secure and prevent mold buildup
- Repainting – Recovering the aesthetic value of a building to improve curb appeal
