Repairs handled quickly by contractors who work in your neighborhood

A local vendor network for each area

A contractor 40 minutes away costs more and takes longer. We work with licensed and insured local professionals in each market we serve, so a plumber in Rockville or an HVAC technician in Ashburn can be at your property quickly:

• Plumbers, electricians and HVAC technicians
• Handymen, painters and flooring installers
• Appliance repair, pest control and locksmiths
• Cleaners, landscapers and snow removal
• MDE-accredited lead paint inspectors for older Maryland homes

We check licensing and insurance, compare quotes on larger jobs, and never mark up vendor invoices.

How a repair works

Repair rules owners should know

Rule	What it means
Virginia: central air conditioning	Since July 1, 2026, central AC is an “essential service,” like heat and water, so an outage needs fast attention and the tenant has legal remedies if it isn’t fixed.
Virginia: who pays	Since July 1, 2026, landlords generally can’t require tenants to pay for maintenance or repairs unless the tenant caused the damage. Our repair charge-backs follow that rule.
Virginia: entry notice	At least 72 hours’ notice for routine maintenance the tenant didn’t request; emergencies are the exception.
Maryland: lead paint	Pre-1978 rentals must pass a lead risk-reduction inspection at every turnover, and chipping or peeling paint must be addressed after notice.
Montgomery County and City of Frederick	Licensed rentals must meet local housing code or maintenance standards and may be inspected.

Preventive maintenance for DC-area homes

Hot, humid summers and freezing winters are hard on houses. Our seasonal checklists help prevent emergency calls:

• Spring: HVAC tune-up and AC check before the heat arrives, plus gutter and grading checks.
• Summer: dehumidification and moisture checks in basements, and pest prevention.
• Fall: furnace or heat pump service, gutter cleaning, outdoor faucet shut-off.
• Winter: pipe-freeze prevention in vacant or older homes, and snow removal where the owner is responsible.

Between tenants we do a full turnover: inspection, cleaning, paint touch-ups, any required lead inspection, and a fresh set of photos.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get to approve repairs?

Yes. You set a dollar limit. Routine repairs under that amount go ahead so tenants aren’t kept waiting, and anything above it comes to you with quotes first, except true emergencies that threaten safety or the property.

Do you mark up contractor invoices?

No. You pay what the vendor charges, and the invoice is attached to your monthly statement.

Can I use my own contractor?

Yes. If you have a trusted, licensed and insured vendor, we’re happy to coordinate with them.
