Quick answers

How fast will I get a quote?

By the end of the next business day. A couple of photos with your request makes it faster and more accurate.

Do you charge for quotes?

No. Quotes are free and no-obligation. If the price doesn't suit, no hard feelings.

Do I need to organise anything myself?

Just tell us what needs doing. We scope the job, line up any trades it needs and manage the lot through to done.

Can you handle small jobs?

Small jobs are half of what we do. One sticking door is a perfectly good reason to get in touch.

Do you work with property managers and strata?

All the time. Reactive repairs, end-of-lease make-readies and common area upkeep, with photos and paperwork for your records.

How much does a call-out cost?

Standard call-outs start from a $140 minimum during business hours. After-hours emergency and make-safe call-outs start from $280. Anything beyond the call-out is quoted on the full scope of the job — see the rates above.

Are you insured?

Yes. EMSCO Property Maintenance is fully insured, so every job comes with complete peace of mind.
