Category: Maintenance

Maintaining and improving buildings and grounds is one of the most challenging aspects of managing properties. Articles in this section will focus on the common problems owners and managers encounter – from emergency plumbing and electrical issues, to routine repairs where the work of a handyman (or owner?) will be necessary. We might interview a roofer to dig into issues around preventative maintenance and repairs, or gather information to help you decide between carpet and hard surface flooring. Reviews of products, such as the best paint to choose, could be features.

By drawing on experts in each field we will provide in-depth discussion and guidance in order to help you navigate the challenges of maintenance and repairs to your property as quickly, easily, and inexpensively as possible.
