Fast, responsive local service for remodeling and property care.

1) Monthly Property Management

Management guideline

8–10% of collected rent

Minimum management fee

$100/month

Student housing is often better billed as a flat monthly fee because higher tenant count usually adds more coordination work than a standard single-family rental.

7) Addition Pricing Formula

• Materials
• Subcontractors
• Equipment + dumpsters/disposal
• Permits
• Labor
• Project overhead
• Profit

When scope is clearly defined, the customer should receive a fixed project price.

8) Important Pricing Rules

• Always have a written scope of work.
• Clearly state what is and is not included.
• Use written change orders for additional work.
• Charge for time spent coordinating subcontractors, permits, inspections, materials, and vendors.
• Do not include unlimited maintenance or remodeling labor in a property management fee.
• Set a minimum service charge so small jobs stay profitable.
• Charge emergency/after-hours rates outside normal business hours.
• Mark up materials to cover purchasing, transportation, handling, and overhead.
• For large remodeling projects, calculate actual costs before giving a fixed price.
• Keep property management fees, maintenance labor, materials, and outside contractor costs clearly separated on invoices.
• Verify Ohio and local licensing, permit, insurance, and contractor requirements before regulated plumbing or electrical work.
• Protect profit with written contracts, deposits where appropriate, and signed approvals.

9) Material Markup

Standard materials

At cost + 15–25%

Recommended standard markup

About 20%

Material markup is not pass-through pricing. It helps cover purchasing, transportation, handling, time spent sourcing materials, and normal business overhead.
