Staff profile
Maintenance team
Ramshaw's on-staff maintenance team handles the majority of maintenance requests from apartment tenants, minimizing the need for outside contractors or vendors. This helps reduce costs for owners, while keeping control and accountability within our company. Many licensed providers are on staff to assist with various tasks such as refrigerant recapturing, plumbing, and other specialties. Maintenance services are available during normal business hours; we also offer 24-hour emergency maintenance service. Maintenance is tracked by a specialized software that integrates with our professional property management software, and tenants can submit online maintenance requests at ramshaw.com.
