Maintenance & Service Calls

[Justin Wallman]

Hi everyone! I am currently a novice to BiggerPockets and Property Management for that matter. My family and & I invest predominantly in SFH and we have accumulated quite a few units since the bubble bursting. I manage all our rental properties personally and I'm in need for a handy man or a reliable vendor that can do service/maintenance calls on a regular basis. I have a guy that is on our payroll that is great but would like a back up plan or to find somebody in addition too. Because the number of our houses has increased over the years, the need for fixing things has also increased. I sometimes get nervous if I didn't have anyone, that I might be in a pickle for a moment. Therefore, I'm trying to be proactive! But it seems like every week there's a main sewer that's backed up, a piece of siding blew off, a garbage disposal binding up, etc... (sound familiar) Haha. And for a lot of these request I can't imagine calling an actual "company". So, if anyone could shed some wisdom my way, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Justin
