Landlords and property managers

We look after rental portfolios the same way we look after commercial sites: one point of contact, clear reporting, and trades coordinated so a turnaround happens in as few visits as possible. That covers end-of-tenancy repairs and repaints, garden resets, exterior washes, gutter clears and inspections between tenancies.

Residential maintenance questions

What does property maintenance actually cover?
The ongoing upkeep of a place: painting, exterior washing, gardens and lawns, gutters and windows, and the small repairs that crop up. You can book one job or have the whole property looked after on a schedule.
Do you take on one-off jobs, or only ongoing maintenance?
Both. We handle single jobs such as a repaint, a house wash or a gutter clean, and we also run ongoing schedules for owners who would rather have the place looked after year round.
What does residential maintenance cost in Wellington?
Every property is different, so we price per site after a look at the job. Quotes are free and no obligation, and we confirm the scope and price in writing before any work starts.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes. We look after rentals between tenancies and on ongoing schedules, including end-of-tenancy cleans, repaints, garden tidy-ups and repairs, with one point of contact for every trade.
Which parts of Wellington do you cover?
Wellington CBD, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, Johnsonville, Karori, Tawa, Petone, Miramar, Newtown, Island Bay, Khandallah and the surrounding suburbs.
How often should a Wellington home be washed and have its gutters cleared?
Most Wellington homes benefit from an exterior wash once a year, more often near the south coast where salt and wind-driven grime build up faster, and gutters cleared at least twice a year, especially where there are trees nearby.
Are you insured and do you clean up afterwards?
Yes. We work to commercial standards on residential jobs, protect surrounding surfaces and planting, and leave the site tidy at the end of every visit.
