The Importance of Maintenance and Repair for Managed Properties

Property managers play a crucial role in ensuring that managed properties are well-maintained and repaired. In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of maintenance and repair services for managed properties. We will also explore how Lexmar Services can assist property managers in maintaining the value and functionality of their properties.

The one universal issue that all property managers are dealing with is finding manpower to perform the many tasks required in apartment communities. In recent years, maintenance staff turnover has skyrocketed. It has become almost impossible to find qualified candidates who will achieve the main goal of maintaining a property to provide a safe living environment for tenants. Added to this strain are REAC (Real Estate Assessment Center) Inspections for HUD properties which are impossible to pass without proper staffing in the maintenance department. This is where Lexmar Services comes in.

With a vast network of qualified workers, we are able to offer our services throughout the continental United States. To put it in simple terms, Lexmar Services can ramp up manpower bandwidth on demand! This is crucial whether filling in for staff vacancies within the maintenance department or contracting additional manpower for projects.

A feature highly in demand due to REAC inspections are Bulk Repair Services. This is where an outside contracted team comes into an apartment complex and knocks out a large punch list of repairs in preparation for an approaching REAC Inspection. Lexmar has dedicated REAC Teams specializing in these types of repairs. We also offer an Auditing Supervisor package which provides a dedicated REAC expert to survey a property ahead of our REAC Team's arrival, prepare a punch list of items for the REAC Team to complete, and then return on the day of inspection to walk the property with the REAC Inspector.

Managing a rental community is no easy task and constantly worrying about staffing for the Maintenance Department just makes it even more difficult. Make it easy on yourself and reach out to obtain additional information or to schedule a presentation and see how Lexmar Services can help your property with maintenance staffing needs.
