Property preservation

Vacant properties decline fast. We secure, clean out, maintain, and document them for owners, investors, and asset managers, so they stay protected and ready to sell or rent.

Vacant properties deteriorate fast when no one is watching them. Gosney Construction Group secures, maintains and protects empty homes and buildings for owners, investors and property managers in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties. We handle lockouts, board-ups, winterization, lawn care, debris removal and repairs, and we send dated photos so you know the property's condition without driving out to check.

What's included

  • Initial property condition check with photos
  • Lock changes and securing doors and windows
  • Board-up of broken windows and openings
  • Winterization and dewinterization coordination
  • Lawn mowing, trimming and seasonal cleanup
  • Trash-outs and debris removal
  • Gutter cleaning and minor exterior repairs
  • Leak, roof and safety hazard repairs
  • Code violation corrections
  • Recurring property checks with dated photos
  • Utility and vendor access coordination

How it works

  1. Initial visit

    We visit the property, photograph its condition and note security, safety and code issues.

  2. Written proposal

    You get an itemized proposal for one-time work and any recurring visits.

  3. Deposit and scheduling

    We set the start date and the frequency of recurring checks.

  4. Secure and stabilize

    We change locks, board openings and address hazards and active leaks first.

  5. Maintain with photos

    Recurring visits cover lawn, debris and condition checks, each with dated photos.

  6. Report and recommend

    We report anything new and give you written pricing for any additional repairs.

Photo documentation on every visit

Every visit includes dated photos so you or your client can confirm condition without driving out. Reports can be organized by property for portfolio owners.

Recurring service

Set a schedule for inspections, lawn care, and seasonal work across one or many properties, billed per visit.

Frequently asked questions

Are you a bank or servicer vendor?

We work directly for property owners, investors, estates and property managers.

How often should a vacant property be checked?

It depends on the season and the risk. We will recommend a schedule and you choose the frequency.

Do you winterize?

Yes. We coordinate winterization and dewinterization, with licensed plumbers involved where the work requires it.

Can you make repairs while you are there?

Yes. If we find something, we photograph it and send written pricing. Repairs proceed once you approve.
