Pittsburgh Rental Property Repairs & Maintenance
Maintaining a rental home requires a balancing act. We want to keep your costs down, but we don’t want to let your property fall into disrepair. For 40 years, we’ve been effective in protecting the condition and value of the assets we manage while ensuring they are in excellent shape. Our maintenance plans lead to better ROI.
Responsive Repairs and Maintenance Leads to Better Tenant Retention
Tenants expect that their repair requests will be taken care of right away, especially if there’s a habitability issue involved. Responsive maintenance isn’t just good for your property and its value – it’s also good for your tenant retention. When we respond immediately to maintenance issues, tenants feel heard. They feel respected. This leads to lease renewals and lower vacancy and turnover losses.
Routine and Emergency Maintenance
Tenants need to understand what our responsibilities are in maintaining the home and how they can help us keep things clean, functional, and safe. We talk to them before signing the lease agreement about the importance of reporting repair issues right away. Deferred and unreported maintenance is always more expensive.
Tenants also understand what qualifies as an emergency and what should be requested as a routine repair.
Arbors Management is available seven days a week, 24-hours a day to ensure a prompt response to any maintenance and repair requests. When a maintenance or repair service is required, we will contact the appropriate professional for the job.
This is part of protecting the condition and the value of your Pittsburgh investment property.
High Quality Vendors and Contractors
At Arbors Management, we’ve spent decades establishing and building solid relationships with a preferred network of vendors. They provide us with fast service, prioritized scheduling, and their best, most competitive rates.
We love the professionals we work with. We also understand that you might have your own team, your own network, and your own relationships that you want to honor when we’re managing your home.
We offer flexibility in allowing you to choose the maintenance professional you prefer. Requirements include:
- Proof of liability insurance
- Proof of workers compensation insurance
- Licensure for things like plumbing and electrical work
- Excellent communication and response times
Routine Inspections and Preventative Maintenance
Owners count on Arbors Management to protect their investments. We do that in two ways: with routine inspections and a robust preventative maintenance plan.
We conduct inspections to ensure there aren’t any lurking issues that the tenants may not have noticed or reported. We also want to make you’re your residents are following the terms of the lease agreement and taking care of your property.
Prior to a new resident occupying the property, we inspect thoroughly to verify the move-in condition. This results in a move-in report which includes photos of the property. The same process applies to the move-out phase.
Preventative maintenance, such as HVAC inspections, routine filter changes, and exterior check-ups ensure there are fewer maintenance emergencies.
