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.

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

This review is specifically for my current property manager Hobie Manley. Hobie has been the most helpful with recent repairs that my unit has needed. Some of them were very urgent plumbing issues and Hobie was very responsive and quick to get the job done. He’s easy to communicate with and great at his job. Thank you again for all the hard work you do!

I’ve been a tenant with Cal-Prop for about a half year now. The experience is going really well! The staff and management are very responsive and I couldn’t be happier. I would recommend them to anyone looking for places for lease!

Catherine Macbuilt from Cal- Prop Management is the reason why I was able to find and move into an apartment within a month. I was searching by myself for months and struggling to find what I needed, but after submitting all of my information, Catherine was able to apply to multiple apartments for me for the price of one application. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to move immediately and looking for a speedy process.

Melissa Young is my Cal prop manager. She is the most responsible, supportive, and capable teammate I could ever hope for. She handled my home, At 39 4 East Moss St. in Chula Vista, had it upgraded, updated in a very quick Turnover. She has become a supportive friend who always keeps me updated as needed. She is such an asset to your company. I appreciate her more than I can tell you.

We could not say enough about Tyler’s professional and meticulous workmanship. We had issues with a couple of faucets. He was very courteous and explained the plumbing issues and fixed everything beautifully all in one visit. If we could give him 10 stars we would. Thanks Tyler!
