Maintenance & Construction

A Full Service Solution for You

Keep the Costs Down and Keep the Property Up

Consistent, responsive, and professional maintenance. Cal-Prop’s maintenance team holds licenses for general contracting and plumbing, is bonded, insured, and backs its workmanship with a two-year guarantee. Plus, every Cal-Prop maintenance team member has a minimum of five years field experience and continues to garner positive reviews on the internet.

Responsive, Cost-effective Service

That’s why we hold ourselves to a strict service level of 90% resolution within 3 business days, regardless of complexity. In actuality, we resolve more than half of all calls within 24 hours!

Examples of how we save you money:

  • In house key machine. All keys and duplicates are free.
  • Our expert plumbing team saves you 15-25% if and when large projects arise like a mainline replacement, gas lines, etc.
  • Anytime there is a roof leak or a flood or mold certified team gets in and out quickly, avoiding the need for an insurance claim.

Pricing and Priorities

Not only do you benefit from our reasonable management pricing (the lowest among San Diego companies), but also from our ability to quickly shift our team’s priorities in emergencies. Your property’s immediate need becomes our first priority.

Unit Turnovers

Your unit’s quick turnover is essential to maximizing financial returns and eliminating lost rental days. Our maintenance coordinator is monitoring daily and keeping our techs and vendors moving.

Maintenance Risk Management

Everyone preaches preventative maintenance, we practice it. That is why we change out old angle stops and supply lines during unit turnovers to help catastrophes. Materials are less expensive than labor so we choose parts with longer expected life so that your components’ life cycle costs are less. When El Nino winters are forecast we have a roofer inspect all of the flat roofs we manage to prepare for those large rainy seasons we have here in Southern CA.

Sub-Contractors & Large Projects

Take advantage of our 25+ year relationships with local, proven sub-contractors! Check out our completed projects – you’ll see that the expertise you need for apartment and single-family projects is already at your fingertips, and able to beat any contractor price.

Got locked out of my place and Kari and Hobie were so helpful! Kari came to my place to test out keys and went back to the office to try and look for the master when the one she had didn't work. And they were trying to help me avoid any additional charges by sending a technician before I was eventually able to get through my window! Thank you Kari and Hobie!

Mario Jimenez, VP coastal/ northern CA District has always been extremely helpful in the 23 years. I’ve been a tenant here In San Diego. And a few few days ago I requested some service to a leaky kitchen sink faucet ,and it was handled extremely well by Cal Props’s technician Tyler who did an excellent job of notifying other tenants of water shut off and completing the task flawlessly? Both are extremely courteous and great to deal with. My sincere praise to both! Bruce

I recently had a maintenance request for my manager Hobie but he was on vacation. His back up manager Jaime stepped in and had my issue handled by days end. Couldn’t be happier with both Hobie and Jaime! Excellent service.

His clear communication and attention to detail, especially regarding the refrigerator placement and other items, were incredibly helpful.

I had a few minor issues in my unit that needed to be addressed. I was thinking they'd take a while to get to it but Hobie made sure they got taken care of within a week! Keev came over and fixed all the issues - and educated me on how to prevent the issues from happening again. Would recommend Hobie as an attentive manager and Keev as a reliable handyman/repairman.

My husband and I have been living in an apartment complex for the last 6 months and have experienced several property managers take over, but it wasn't until Cal-Prop took over where we felt that anything was getting done. We finally got our parking spots repainted, have an on-site facilities manager and our tickets are addressed right away! We are so happy to have them now and feel more comfortable in where we are living now. Alexis Vega has also been an exceptional property manager and answers right away and gets back to us in a timely manner. She has been very helpful!

Loving our new house, rented through Cal-Prop. We put together a list of little maintenance issues (jammed window, sticky door, etc), and they sent Tyler right out to fix them within days. Tyler their handyman was fast, professional, and open to discussion. So far has been a very positive experience with Cal-Prop and their support team.

I have lived in a house managed by Cal-Prop for nearly 8 years, and my experience has been outstanding. Throughout this time, I've had the pleasure of working with Hobie Manley, who has been nothing short of exceptional. Hobie is always professional, prompt, and seemingly available whenever needed. My initial skepticism about renting a home overseen by a property management company quickly disappeared thanks to his dedication and reliability. I couldn’t recommend him more highly and am genuinely grateful for the excellent service and support he has provided over the past 8 years.

Just this past week I was Approved for my new home with the help of Kari and Matthew at Cal-prop. They have both been more than helpful and attentive to everything that I needed the answered questions and I'm sure it was not easy dealing with me since I am not tec savvy receiving documents and so forth was not where I shine, but they both were very patient and helpful. They stayed on top of it and made sure that I was able to get my keys right away. They were both so friendly and kind and I really enjoy both of them thank you guys for everything you did
