Finding reliable Maintenance

[David Peskind]

Hello BP, 

   I am finding it increasingly harder to find reliable and reasonable maintenance workers. I have been fortunate enough to have someone that I have used since I have started in RE, however, he is at the point of retirement. I have tried FB, Indeed, and local ads. I have not found any of these to be that reliable. I am wondering how you all have been sourcing and if there is anything that I could be doing to yield better results for myself. I self manage my property and have grown into a management company (of sorts), and finding reliable people at a fair price has not been easy or cheap!

Any insight would be helpful! Thank you all!

Have you tried Home Depot? I would hang out at Home Depot around the time they open to see which contractors are there. I’ve found that the reliable workers are early risers.

I would also check HomeAdvisor. I’ve been lucky to get connected with a great contractor through this website as well.

Hope it helps.

Best,
