Let Uncle John Know that you Won’t Need Him to Fix the Toilets

New landlords often ask if we can use their favorite trusted vendor for any future maintenance needs. Of course we can! We already work with most of the larger local vendors and welcome the opportunity to meet new vendors recommended by our landlords. Landlords should provide us with a list of their preferred vendors before signing our management agreement so that we can contact the referred vendors to assure that they are licensed and insured as required by the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR).


Sorry, we can’t use your Uncle John, Cousin Bob, or Neighbor Ricky as a handyman to do minor repairs. While we understand that keeping maintenance costs low is an important goal, our liability insurance requires that we only allow properly licensed and insured vendors to enter the home. We do have an in-house property superintendent, who can address minor items such as changing locks, installing screens, replacing smoke detectors, installing microwaves or range hoods, and caulking tubs at rates less than would be charged by a general contractor.


As your home is a valuable investment, we require that any vendors that we use have the ability and the commitment to stand behind the work that they do.
