Do you ever wonder whether an annual maintenance contract is worth it for an apartment in Al Madhr? Al Madhr Al Shmaly is a residential neighbourhood centred at 24.6916, 46.6662, about 2.6 km from the centre of Riyadh, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. Its centre sits about 626 m above sea level, which is a useful detail to know when you consider how the area's buildings are used and kept over the years. A yearly contract gives you one planned point in the calendar when someone checks your unit before small faults become expensive ones. Ask yourself how many of the problems you have had in the past could have been noticed earlier.

The inspection is carried out in a set order so nothing is skipped. The technician begins with a walk through the apartment to note the condition of walls, ceilings and floors, and any signs of moisture or damage. Next, the visit covers the fittings and fixtures that are used most often, such as taps, doors, windows and switches, and checks that they work smoothly and safely. Each visit is priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, depending on the scope of work agreed at the start. If the inspection finds an area that needs repair, the technician notes it and explains the options, and any restoration work is quoted separately at SAR 55–160 per m² so you can decide before anything starts.

Before the visit, it helps to prepare a few simple things so the appointment runs smoothly. Clear access to the rooms, balconies and any storage areas saves time and lets the inspection cover the whole unit. Write down any problems you have noticed since the last visit, such as slow drains, cracks or doors that stick, so they can be checked first. Have a note of the building access arrangements and a contact number for whoever will be present. With these steps in place, the annual visit becomes a clear and predictable part of looking after your apartment in Al Madhr.
