Maintenance shouldn't be harder than the problem itself
Every property manager knows the feeling. A door hinge fails. A ceiling tile gets water-damaged. A smoke detector starts chirping. Paint gets scuffed during a move-in. The repair itself isn't complicated — but finding a reliable technician who shows up on time, does the job right, and doesn't require you to explain the building from scratch every single visit is harder than it should be.
Most maintenance vendors serve residential homeowners as their primary market. Commercial and multifamily buildings are a secondary focus — which means longer response times, less familiarity with building stock, and a service experience built for a different client. 78-Fixit is different. We work exclusively in the commercial and multifamily environment, alongside 78-Clean's facility services programs, for property managers and building owners who need maintenance handled without friction.
No task is too small. No job is too obscure. If it doesn't require a licensed trade — electrical, plumbing, structural — 78-Fixit handles it.
Routine, on-demand, and emergency service
Routine maintenance
Scheduled maintenance visits keep small issues from becoming large ones. 78-Fixit works with property managers to establish recurring maintenance programs — regular walkthroughs, seasonal checks, and proactive repair schedules that address building wear before it becomes visible to residents or owners. Proactive maintenance reduces the frequency and cost of reactive repairs and keeps your building in the condition its residents expect.
On-demand repairs
When something needs attention outside a scheduled visit — a broken lock, a damaged ceiling tile, a door that won't close properly — 78-Fixit dispatches on demand. Property managers with active 78-Clean or 78-Fixit programs receive priority scheduling. One call to your Relationship Manager and the repair is in motion.
24/7 emergency services
Some maintenance issues can't wait until morning. A failed lock on a building entry, a water-damaged ceiling after an overnight leak, a smoke detector with a dead battery at 11pm — these are the calls that property managers dread and that tenants expect to be resolved immediately. 78-Fixit's emergency response team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
For lockouts specifically
Our emergency team responds with a master key. No waiting for a locksmith, no third-party vendor markup, no explaining the situation to someone who has never been in your building. The same team that maintains your building handles the lockout.

The advantage of one company for cleaning and repairs
The maintenance issues that matter most to property managers aren't the major capital repairs — those go to licensed contractors. They're the dozens of small items that accumulate between major repairs and erode a building's presentation, functionality, and resident satisfaction over time. Scuffed paint after a move-in. A ceiling tile that got wet and was never replaced. A door that's been sticking for six months. A light fixture that's been out for two weeks.
These items don't get fixed because finding a reliable handyman for small jobs is harder than it sounds — and because coordinating a separate vendor for every small repair adds friction that property managers simply don't have time for.
78-Fixit eliminates that friction. When 78-Clean's cleaning crews identify a maintenance issue during a routine visit, it's flagged to your Relationship Manager and routed to 78-Fixit without you making a separate call. When a spill mandates carpet cleaning and a wall needs patching, it's the same company handling both. When a tenant gets locked out at midnight, it's the same team that maintains your building responding to the call.
One company. One Relationship Manager. One point of accountability for cleaning and repairs.
