I have 12 years in on apartment maintenance, and he pretty spot on with everything. At my property, I am “ the nice one” that everyone tries to get to come. I’m just generally friendly not better. At first it will stroke your ego that you are the preferred maintenance guy, until eventually you realize your doing way more work orders than other coworkers. Don’t fall into an ego trip, you can’t help everyone and thats why you have coworkers.

You're absolutely right!! It's hard changing once everyone knows you as the nice guy and you end up with the most and the hardest work orders.

Great video, a lot of good info for both a new tech and someone that’s been on the job for couple of years. Just wanted to add couple stuff. 1. Maintenance tags: no one wants to come home and see that someone has been in their house. Resident like to know if the request has been complete or if you are coming back. Parts needed etc.. 2. Always carry booties (shoe cover) it’s easy to put a set in your pockets and take em out when you need them. 3. Never promise you are coming back at a specific time. Things happen all the time. Residents sometimes wait for tech and stuff happens “emergencies” and you never went back. Now the resident is upset because you had them waiting. Always give a time frame or follow up. 3. Do Not say “just this time” it will never stop. 4. Don’t be afraid of asking for help. I have stuff broken because I wanted to take care of it by my self. Wanted to finish the work fast. Now we have to order new glass doors. Lol Those are just some of the basic stuff I think it can be useful. I’m a tech with some years in the Los Angeles area and you learn something new everyday.

Booties can be a nuisance or even an impossibility on some jobs such as a back up etc. In the real world most times, just your presence is enough and tenants won't mind if you happen to come in off the street with your shoes on and no booties. I speak from years of experience. Here's an example: you go to a call for sump pump issue with flooding. Wearing booties would be highly inappropriate. There are many others. And, too if you're working an a/c call and you are in and out booties might prohibite your ability to effectively service equipment. And on and on. I generally ask if it's okay to come in with my shoes on or, depending on the looks of the unit maybe opt out of using anything but waders. Some are that filthy. You have to be real.

One of the tenants tried to get me to move a fridge for him and clean the back, I apologized to him and told him that I couldn't do it, but if he was having issues with the fridge, he could call the office and put in a work order my supervisor said that I handled it well I was nervous as hell when I filled out my work order I forgot what cabinet hinges were called and wrote down butterfly latches 😂

If I have a bunch of more important work I won't stay for extra work but I can make a work order and do additional work if its slow. No need to have the tenant go to the office or create a work order for something that I can create a work order for myself. Creating work orders yourself is a small thing that really creates a professional and convenient service for the residents. If I have other priority work I will tell them and leave and come back later. Edit: Another great tool is a 7/16 socket for toilet bowl screws when pulling toilets.

@@MaintenanceManNarratives I'm definitely not sensitive like the younger people are today. My father who I miss tremendously would be approaching 85 now taught me about the "School of Hard Knocks". My problem is my knees. I'v lost 70 lbs in the last two years which helped a lot and have at least 50 to go. Do you have any thoughts on knee pads either the ones you put on the ground to kneel on or the ones you wear ? I just made my own kneeling pad out of some old workout mats and am looking at the Toughbuilt Thigh stabilization knee pads, the Husk gel stabilizer knee pads and various other . I really appreciate your suggestions on keeping your tool bag light and I will keep versatility and light weight as my main goal as I buy and evolve my go-to tool bag. At the moment I'm staying with my 5 gallon bucket, Hyper Tough bucket organizer, the tools I already own and a few select new ones until I get a better idea of what I will need. Thank you !

Worked commercial construction for the last 4 years, and finally made the switch to apartment maintenance a month ago, and this video definitely got me headed in a better direction thank you so much

I've been a maintenance tech for 8 years. I go into a tenants apartment with tunnel vision and go directly to the problem fix it then leave if no one is home. No snooping!!

Great video apt maintenance sucks. Property managers are the worst and you're going to get burned out pretty fast. The residents that have to deal with our suck even more. The worst job to ever have don't forget about the on-call you will never have any rest on the weekend

Yea, I hear you!! Management companies are getting really greedy with pay and budgets. While raising rents through the roof!!
