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.

Shay and Crystal oversee our properties and we are happy with the overall results. It’s been challenging to recover from COVID-19 vacancies and turnover of tenants. Within several months, they have organized and improved occupancy.

I needed a few maintenance items done at my house, and Tyler came and fixed them all! I had originally put in a work order to fix our kitchen sink, and while he was there he was kind enough to fix a few more items around the house. He was very professional and friendly, and I am very appreciative of the work he did.

Incredibly happy with both my property and the property managers! One of the many instances of them looking out for me was Eric Paulin staying in office after COB and making an extra key for me when I got locked out! I really appreciated that extra time and effort!

Hobie with Cal Prop was our property manager when we lived in a cute little apt in San Marcos (before we bought our house late 2022). He was responsive then and professional. We just sold our home and listed him as a reference for rentals we applied for. All of them said he replied promptly and remembered details about us as tenants. Thanks, Hobie, for that. We found our perfect home with your help.

I have been with Cal-Prop since 1990 and I have been extremely happy with their management of my property. They have helped me with purchasing another property, re finance, and up dating my apartments. I wouldn't do business with anyone else. I am especially grateful to Rick Thornton.

I had the pleasure of working with Catherine during my property search, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. I originally inquired about a different property, but she quickly provided me with other great options, making the whole moving process so much easier. Her communication was outstanding—she kept me updated on my application every step of the way and ensured everything went smoothly. If you’re looking to move, I highly recommend reaching out to her. She truly made the process seamless!

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!
