Who you'll work for - Not your average General Contractor / Property Manager.

We believe: The best marketing is referrals, the best referrals come from happy clients, happy clients start with employees who feel respected and are recognized for quality, efficient work. So your manager's focus is on making sure that you are supported, challenged, treated with dignity and surrounded by collaborative crew members who are also up to standard.

Priority Maintenance and Management fills the niche in between what homeowners and investment property owners can do (or will do) do for themselves and what large GC outfits or even tradesmen are too busy to do. We do everything from the light switch your grandma cant get anyone to come look at; all the way to single family dream remodels, and multi-unit apartment building gut outs.

Because we fill a niche that's only occupied by a few one-guy-and-his-truck competitors, and because we also have a property management arm (as well as agreements with other local property management companies for their maintenance needs) the work is reliable, even in the winter.

We're turning away profitable work so we're looking to add 8 more positions by the end of the spring. We get a lot of applicants but we want to be sure that we staff up with the kind of A player that everyone wants to work with so BOTH skill AND character matters.
