5 Must-Have Tools for Property Preservation Vendors

Property preservation is fast-paced, detail-oriented work. Whether you’re boarding windows or performing winterizations, the right tools can make or break your success. Here are five essentials every vendor should have:

1. Drill with Lock Change Attachments: A cordless drill with multiple bits and lockbox installation tools is a must for changing deadbolts and securing doors.

2. Lawn Maintenance Equipment: Expect to handle initial and ongoing grass cuts. A commercial mower, trimmer, and leaf blower help you meet HUD height standards.

3. Debris Removal Gear: From contractor bags to pickup trucks, having the right setup for hauling trash is key for code compliance.

4. Winterization Supplies: Air compressors, antifreeze, zip ties, and tags are crucial for protecting plumbing in colder climates.

5. Smartphone with Field Apps: Mobile apps like Pruvan and PPW let you upload geo-tagged photos, receive orders, and stay compliant on the go.

With the right tools, vendors can complete more work, avoid rework penalties, and improve turnaround time—all of which contribute to better ratings and more work from companies like Secure Pro Field Services.
