─ B-licensed · W-2 crews
The punch-list disappears in a week, not a quarter.
Doors, hardware, drywall, paint touch-up, fixtures, mounting, light carpentry, ADA grab bars — handled by W-2 carpenters under a single PM, with photo-documented work orders for every visit.
─ Overview
What handyman & repairs looks like with OH.
OH Property Maintenance runs commercial handyman the way property managers wish every vendor did: a written punch-list goes in, a calendar slot comes back the same week, a uniformed W-2 carpenter shows up on time, photographs the work before and after, and the work order closes that night. No three-week wait, no "we'll need to come back for parts," no surprise 2-hour minimums for a 20-minute fix.
We hold a California B-license, so handyman work covers everything from door alignment and drywall patching to in-suite paint, ADA grab bar installs, partition repairs, and light carpentry. When a job exceeds handyman scope (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), we hand it off to the right OH trade in the same dispatch — no second vendor call, no second invoice.
Properties on an OH handyman program close 70–90% of work orders within 5 business days, and report 35–50% lower per-ticket cost compared to dispatching one-off through a multi-vendor portal — because we already know your building, your access protocols, and your standards.
─ Why OH for Handyman & Repairs
The difference shows up on day one.
B-licensed, not unlicensed
We hold a real California B contractor's license — not a guy with a truck. Insured, bonded, and OSHA-trained on every visit.
Same-week scheduling
Routine handyman tickets are scheduled within 5 business days. Urgent (locks, doors, life-safety) handled same day.
Same crew every time
Your assigned carpenter knows your building. No new face every visit, no re-explaining the freight elevator code.
Photo-documented closeout
Every work order ships with before/after photos, parts used, and time stamps — auditable in your inbox the same day.

Common questions about handyman & repairs.
Don't see yours? Call us — we like hard questions.
(888) 303-5551Most handyman vendors are unlicensed sole-operators or 1099 referrals — fine until something goes wrong, at which point you have no insurance recovery and no quality recourse. OH operates handyman under our California B contractor's license, with W-2 carpenters carrying our insurance, our workers' comp, and our OSHA training. Same speed, real protection.
Routine work orders are scheduled within 5 business days of submission. Urgent items (broken locks, door issues, life-safety, ADA) are dispatched same day. After-hours emergencies (lockouts, broken glass, secure-the-building) are handled by our 24/7 desk with the same sub-2-hour SLA as our other trades.
On program accounts, no — we batch tickets to your scheduled visit so you're paying for time on the property, not for trucks rolling. On one-off non-program tickets we charge a 1-hour minimum, which beats most competitors' 2- or 4-hour minimums by a wide margin.
Yes — and frequently. ADA grab bars in restrooms, accessible mirrors, partition adjustments, signage at compliant heights, and door-hardware swaps to lever handles are all routine handyman work for us. We document install heights and torque specs in the work order so it survives future audit.
That's exactly when most multi-vendor models break down. Because OH holds A, B, C-10, C-36 (and more) licenses, our handyman dispatcher can hand off the ticket to our licensed electrician, plumber, or HVAC tech in the same workflow — same building, same PM, same invoice. You don't get told "that's not in our scope" and sent back to the portal.
On program accounts, yes — we assign a primary carpenter (and a named backup) to your property so they learn your building, your access protocols, and your standards. One-off accounts get whoever's available in the territory, which is faster but less personal.
Yes. Every month you receive a roll-up: tickets opened, tickets closed, average time-to-close, total hours, photo evidence, and dollars spent — broken out by building if you run a portfolio. Most managers use it to defend their facilities budget at the next reserves or budget meeting.
