Did I make a mistake managing my first property ?

Closed my first property earlier this year. Its managed by a PM. I wanted to get some basic maintenance work done like fix some loose siding, fix downspout, clean gutters. Also some work inside the house like recaulk the bathtub, fix a window sil, add a carbon monoxide detector. 

Anyways I had a handyman lined up to do this work. He had assumed that the tenant ordered this work. He called the tenant and was turned away from the property. I had assumed he would line up a day with the tenant to get this done. 

Should I not get the interior work done to give the tenant his space? Or should the handyman coordinate with the tenant to find a day to get all this done?

Why are you not coordinating this with the PMC you hired?

Your causing chaos by not doing so!
