The 4am call reaches us
Emergency line, 24 hours. A burst supply line at 4am is handled and you find out in the morning — which is the correct order of events, because you were never going to fix it at 4am anyway.
An approval threshold you set
You set a dollar figure. Below it we act and report. Above it we call you first with the diagnosis, the quote and a recommendation. Owners differ enormously on where that line sits and there is no correct answer — some want to hear about anything over $200, some over $1,000.
Trades that answer the phone
Vetted, insured, and used often enough that they take our calls. That last part matters more than it sounds. In a market where every landlord is chasing the same plumbers after a freeze, being a regular source of work is the difference between a two-day repair and a two-week one.
Vacant property care
Empty units get wellness checks. A vacancy that quietly becomes a water leak becomes a very different repair bill, and the difference between finding that in week one and week six is thousands of dollars.
