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.

Wanted to repost this from a few years ago cause I’m still pissed. They are now trying to pay me $100 to take down my negative review. In reality the deserve 0 stars. “These people are professional scam artist. Literally the worst property management company I have ever had to deal with. We had 4 different land lords over the course of a year who were all equally useless. Finally when it came to the carpet, when we asked if we should have it professionally cleaned for our move out. They told us that the carpet was going to be replaced by hard wood floors so there was no need. Needless to say we have 3k deducted from our security deposit for the carpet. Cal prop sucks... avoid if you can”

Michael was super professional and easy to work with. I ended up renting somewhere else, but he was friendly, helpful, and great throughout the process.

I had to be out of my apartment on very short notice and needed a new place immediately. I called Cal-Prop and talked with Kurt, who was so friendly and helpful in walking me through the available properties that fit my budget. He answered all my leasing and application questions and then worked to schedule a couple tours for me. The next day, I toured a couple apartments in City Heights area that Jaime was the manager for. There was never any high-pressure tactics and I really felt that the people I talked with just wanted me to find a good place to live. They told me what to look out for in apartments and common scams that are on Craigslist. I wound up renting somewhere else, but Cal-Prop really helped me out and they will definitely be my first call if I have to move in San Diego again.

Kari is always such a great help. I had lost my key once I had gotten back into town from a two week trip in Europe. Even with the time change she was able to get back to me instantly and get me a new key within first hour that I got back in San Diego. Thank you again Kari!

I've had Cal-Prop for over a decade now and they are great. The management pretty much runs on autopilot and I rarely need to get involved but sometimes things go sideways for whatever reason and I do. They raise rents, deal with repairs and new tenants when needed. Highly recommended.

Maintenance is easy to report on the online portal and Tyler was quick to unclog the shower a couple days later. Thanks Tyler!

Hobie is awesome! He’s super responsive, communicative and always helps us anytime we need anything with our rental. As far as property managers go, he’s the best and has made a huge difference in our experience! Hobie and Tamara both go above and beyond. They’re always professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. I couldn’t ask for better support from a property management team! 10/10 recommend!

We have had a great experience with Cal Prop in our home in IB! They worked with us to get into the perfect home for our family and the maintenance always responds quickly! Maria and Jaqueline have been wonderful and I would recommend working with either of them, they made the application process very easy for us!

My property manager at this firm is Eric Paulin whom I have had as property manager for 15 years because he is authentic, knowledgeable, of high integrity and responsive to my needs as a property owner. The firm communicates well and acts fairly toward tenants and property owners. I've recommended CalProp and Eric to others and I'm sure they will be pleased by the service they receive. I am a very enthusiastic client of CalProp.

When my father passed away in June, I rapidly found myself “unretired” and responsible for all his affairs from 2700 miles away. With only anecdotal knowledge of his properties, I relied heavily on Melissa at Cal-Prop. She’s a very professional single point of contact. Cash was frozen by the banks, and she helped me ensure all the bills got paid. She educated me on the various reports so i can complete the final tax return. She ensures the insurance & property taxes are paid, and provides good recommendations. Melissa helped facilitate the final clean out of my father’s apartment as well as his friend’s who died 6 weeks earlier. Rick has shared his wisdom with me on several topics. I highly recommend Cal-Prop.

Cal-Prop took over as our property management company mid-lease, and they were all great to work with - prompt, professional, and helpful. Hobie in particular was a pleasure to work with and always quick to respond to any issues we had, as well as to rental verification checks when we moved to a different city!

Hobie was very helpful throughout our lease and always responded quickly to any issues we had. He was also a great reference for our rental verification history when we relocated to the Bay Area. Would recommend!
