Services for Altha properties
Who calls
Booking work when you are not the one living there
Any of the people tied to a rental house can start a request.
The tenant
Can describe the problem and let us in.
The owner
Decides what work is done.
The manager
Can book work at more than one rental at a time and act as the single contact for all of them.
The contact on the day
Whoever opens the house or the garage.
Gutters
Gutter cleaning and downspouts at a rental
A tenant report of water spilling at the front door or running down a wall is a gutter or downspout problem. A drip at one corner is a gutter repair.
Cleaning
Gutters are cleared by hand, the downspouts are flushed and the debris leaves with us.
A sagging run
A run that has dropped is rehung on new hangers and its slope is reset.
A downspout in the wrong place
It can be moved to a corner, extended to carry water farther from the wall, or joined by a second downspout.
Where the work stops
Drainage work ends above ground at the downspout. We do not dig drain lines or regrade the yard.
Garage doors
Garage door problems a tenant reports
Pass the tenant report on word for word when you call.
The opener hums or clicks and the door stays put
The opener is repaired, or a new opener is installed.
The remote or wall button does nothing
An opener-side fault, repaired on the opener.
Light or leaves getting in under the door
The bottom seal is replaced, along with the side and top seals if they are worn.
A bang and a door too heavy to lift
A broken spring, which is replaced.
Grinding or a frayed cable
Worn rollers and a frayed lift cable are replaced.
The door goes back up before it closes
The safety sensors near the floor are out of line or have failed, and are realigned or replaced.
Guards
Gutter guards on a rental house
Guards cut down what collects in the gutters between cleanings, which helps at a house the owner does not see often.
Fitted over what is there
Guards go over the existing gutters. The gutters are cleaned first, and any loose or leaking section is repaired before the guards go on.
Still worth a look
The gutters still need an occasional check.
Wire shelving
Laundry and linen wire shelving for each tenant
We supply the shelving and install it.
Laundry room
Shelving over the washer and dryer and a rail to hang shirts as they come out.
Linen closet
Adjustable shelf-and-rail lets each tenant set the shelf heights for towels, bedding or storage bins.
Closets and pantry
A shelf and rod in each closet, and shelf levels in the pantry.
Garage
Wall shelving kept clear of the door track and the opener.
The whole house
Closets, pantry, laundry and linen closet can go on one quote.
New rentals
Blower door tests on a new rental house
Calhoun County is in Climate Zone 2, and the limit there is 7 air changes per hour at 50 pascals. Gutters, a garage door and shelving for the new rental can be booked on the same request as the test.
Book ahead
A first test booked well before the deadline leaves time to correct leaks and test again.
If the ready date moves
Call the office and a new test date is set.
On test day
Windows and exterior doors closed, interior doors open, and heating and cooling equipment off.
Attic and garage
A vented attic, and an attached garage that is not heated or cooled, are outside the test. An attic sealed and insulated at the roof deck is measured with the house.
