At DAP PROPS, our in-house Handyman & Cleaning team, fully licensed and insured through our company, plays a pivotal role in maintaining cost control and affordability in property repairs, ensuring that every penny spent on maintenance adds value rather than just expense. By having our own team of skilled professionals, we bypass the often inflated costs and delays associated with external contractors, providing immediate response to maintenance issues which prevents small problems from ballooning into costly repairs. Our strategy includes the holding of many specialized tools in-house to help us compete with the skill level of a subcontractor or general contractor, and also bulk purchasing of common repair supplies and materials, which not only reduces costs through economies of scale but also ensures that our team has the necessary supplies on hand, minimizing downtime and additional service calls. This team’s specialization in property maintenance means they work with an efficiency that general contractors might not match, knowing the common issues and best practices for our properties. Additionally, we engage in preventive maintenance, scheduling regular checks that catch potential problems early, saving on emergency repair costs. Our relationships with local contractors and subcontractors for specialized tasks mean we can tap into prompt, competitive services without the usual markup that they charge individual homeowners, ensuring that when our team needs additional expertise, it’s available without compromising on cost or quality. This approach, combined with transparent pricing, fosters tenant satisfaction and retention, reducing turnover costs. Essentially, our in-house Handyman team doesn’t just fix properties; they safeguard them, making maintenance an investment in property longevity and tenant happiness, all while keeping expenses under tight control.
