Is there an occupation or should there be [View all]
Apartments have supers and staff that take care of maintenance of the building. HOA, POAs have groundskeepers for a fee. I wonder if there is some kind of profession that advises homeowners on the repair, maintenance and upkeep of their homes and then recommends reliable experts to hire for the jobs?
I'm asking because I spent a week with my friend. She hasn't been well, and had a setback recently. I went to visit and help out with normal work that she isn't up to doing, and took note of little repairs that should be done before they turn into major problems. She is aware of the things that need to be done, but hasn't felt like finding a handyman to make the repairs. It would be so nice if homeowners would voluntarily have a periodic inspection and a checklist, and if there were things on the checklist have a member of a vetted team to come and do the work.
If there isn't something like this, I bet it would add job opportunities for experienced contractors who don't mind a few small jobs between the big ones.
