Rental Property Maintenance
With substantial experience in the Okanagan’s rental and vacation property ecosystem, I’ve worked closely with owners, landlords, and property managers who rely on dependable, hands-on, full-circle solutions. From general repair and maintenance to painting, minor plumbing, BBQs, decks, light electrical work, and insurance-mandated upgrades, I offer services for a wide variety of practical tasks required to keep a rental or investment property operating smoothly.
Whether it’s end-of-tenancy repairs, fast-drying patches, move-in touch-ups, or ongoing maintenance for short-term or long-term rentals, I provide a full-stack service covering repairs, junk removal, and professional-grade cleanup. Debris is removed, workspaces are left spotless, and cleaning can be arranged as needed so the property is fully ready for the next guest, tenant, or showing with no follow-up required.
I understand the value of a dependable, worry-free solution for owners who need someone local to manage the details with care and consistency.
