Maintenance

FHC Maintenance Staff is our front line, serving our residents in their homes with a wide range of needs from carpentry and plumbing, to electrical and HVAC work.

They handle routine and emergency work order requests, they complete seasonal and preventive maintenance tasks, they undertake numerous inspections throughout the year, and they work with contractors and vendors to ensure FHC properties are well-maintained inside and out. The maintenance team is on-call 24/7, 365 days. They’ve helped residents at 3:00 am who are locked out, and they’ve taken time away from their own families on holidays when a resident’s heat goes out. They are dedicated, patient, and extremely hard working individuals who help make FHC properties safe and comfortable.
