I keep a small list of vendors I trust for the homes I manage. If you do good work, communicate clearly, and treat tenants well — I’d like to hear from you.

What I look for before adding someone to the roster:

• Quality of work. Skilled trade work, cleanly finished. The repair holds, the cause is addressed, the worksite is left how it was found.
• Fair, transparent pricing. Competitive rates, no surprise add-ons. Invoices go straight to my landlords, so the numbers need to make sense.
• Responsiveness. A reply within one business day for non-urgent work, and same-day for emergencies (no heat in winter, active leaks, broken locks, no hot water).
• Licensed and insured. WorkSafeBC coverage, liability insurance, and any BC trade-specific licensing. I keep copies on file.

If that fits, the details below get me started.
