$60/ hour for maintenance with Property Manager in-house labor
Hi there,
My property manager in Beaufort, SC has an in-house maintenance firm that charges $60/ hour for general maintenance. In this specific case it was installing a new doorbell, re-attaching a fan cover, and adjusting a bathtub stopper. I already had the talk with them about these repairs being items the tenant should take care of, except prehaps for the doorbell. Even there, I would rather they leave the doorbell alone-- people can knock, right?
Anyways, my question is how does $60/ hour for general maintenance in South Carolina seem? It seems very high to me, especially since I hired a licensed and bonded electrician for only $65 an hour.
Also, any recommendations for a good property manager in Beaufort, SC? I have a feeling I will be looking for a new one soon.
Thanks for the help!
