Common Questions About Apartment Staffing

Our maintenance professionals handle general, non-licensed work including routine repairs, fixture replacements, unit turnover preparation, painting, groundskeeping, landscaping, and pool area maintenance. For specialized work requiring licenses such as electrical, plumbing, or HVAC, we recommend partnering with licensed contractors. Our team focuses on the day-to-day upkeep that keeps your property running smoothly.

For ongoing staffing needs, expect 2-3 weeks for full screening and training. For emergency coverage, we can often provide staff from existing pools within one to two days, depending on your location. New property onboarding typically requires 2-3 weeks minimum to ensure properly screened and trained staff who understand your specific property requirements.
