For property managers and HOA boards
Repairs, turnovers and exterior work for property managers and HOAs
If you look after other people's buildings, this page is for you: property managers and landlords with rental homes and small multi-unit buildings, and the HOA boards and community managers who care for shared buildings. One person reads your request, we walk the work with you, and you get a written scope and photo reports.

How a work order runs
You send the request
Use the form below or call. One person reads it and gets back to you.
We visit
We walk the unit or building with you, or with whoever you name for access, and take photos and measurements.
You get a written scope
It says what we would do, what is not included, and the options where there is more than one way to fix something.
You approve it in writing
Any change after that goes in a written change order.
We schedule the work
with you and your contact for access. We don't promise dates before we have seen the work; the proposal covers scheduling.
You get a photo report,
with before and after photos for the order.
You get one invoice
per work order, or per unit when an order covers several units.
Maintenance agreements
A maintenance agreement puts regular walk-throughs on the schedule, so small problems are written up before they turn into work orders.
What a walk-through covers
- gutters, downspouts and moss
- roofs
- decks, stairs and walkways
- siding and trim
- paint touch-ups
What you get
- a written report with photos after each walk-through
- repair options listed for you to approve one at a time
- the same point of contact each time
Walk-throughs follow the seasons, for example one in spring and one in fall. We write the agreement around your buildings and send you a proposal. There is no price on this page because the scope depends on how many buildings, roofs and units are involved. Ask about an agreement
HOA boards and community managers
Reserve-study projects (roofs, siding, decks and balconies, paint and gutters) are planned and funded ahead, and they still need someone to walk the buildings and write the scope. We can:
- walk the property with your community manager or a board member, and take photos and measurements;
- write a proposal with options and phasing, so the board can choose what comes first;
- give you a one-page summary a board can read at its meeting; and
- set up a maintenance agreement for the items between the big projects.

Questions people ask
Which counties do you work in?
Skagit, Snohomish, Island and Whatcom Counties, from our base in Mount Vernon. Our service area
Do you list prices?
No. The scope and the price depend on the building, so both go in writing after we have seen the work.
Can you give me a date before you have seen the work?
We don't promise dates before we have seen the work. The written proposal covers scheduling.
How do you handle access to occupied units?
Tell us who coordinates access: you, an on-site manager or the tenant. We set each visit through that person.
Do you take non-residential buildings?
We take some non-residential work. The capability statement lists what we have done and what we bid. Electrical work is residential only.
