Building Maintenance Services for Residential & Commercial Properties
Residential and Commercial Maintenance Services
Advantage Building Services was created to assist properties with day-to-day, handyman-like maintenance services to support and extend your facility management team or provide you with a maintenance tech if you don’t have on-site facilities management. As your building’s eyes and ears, our janitorial staff and maintenance techs not only inform you of issues before they turn into problems, but also fix many of them. ABS technicians work primarily for our janitorial customers, though we can also provide you with a full-time or part-time maintenance tech if needed. As former property managers of over ten million square feet, ABS understands the value of efficiency and service provider consolidation. That is why our maintenance technicians offer the building maintenance services below.
General Repairs & Maintenance
Minor maintenance issues can quickly turn into bigger headaches when they go unnoticed. From improperly working doors to a leaky faucet or damaged drywall, these everyday repairs are all part of keeping a building running smoothly. At Advantage Building Services, we help property managers throughout Chicagoland stay on top of routine building repairs without having to coordinate a separate contractor for every little issue. Our maintenance technicians can support your existing facilities team or provide additional on-site coverage when needed.
Our general building maintenance services include:
- Fixing doors, locks, hinges, and handles
- Repairing drywall, ceilings, and tiles
- Patching and painting walls
- Minor plumbing repairs (leaky faucets, clogged drains, replacing fixtures)
- Replacing light bulbs, ballasts, and fixtures
- Electrical maintenance (outlet replacements, resetting breakers)
- HVAC filter replacement and minor adjustments
Exterior & Grounds Maintenance
First impressions start before anyone walks through your building’s front door. Overgrown landscaping, dirty sidewalks, and neglected exterior spaces can affect your property’s curb appeal. In Chicago, changing seasons bring an entirely new set of maintenance challenges. From spring cleanup to winter snow and ice, our exterior building maintenance services help property managers stay ahead of the work that comes with maintaining outdoor spaces.
Our exterior and grounds maintenance services include:
- Power washing
- Minor landscaping (e.g. trimming bushes, clearing debris)
- Snow removal and salting of exterior grounds
Preventative Maintenance
The best maintenance problems are the ones you catch before they turn into expensive repairs.
A small leak, loose fixture, or overlooked maintenance issue might not seem urgent today. But leave it long enough, and it can quickly become a much bigger problem for your property management team.
At ABS, we believe preventative maintenance should be part of your property’s regular routine, not something that only happens when an issue comes up.
Our team helps monitor building conditions, identify concerns, and communicate potential issues so your team can make informed decisions before problems escalate.
Our preventative building maintenance services include:
- Routine facility inspections to identify potential issues
- Checking and servicing HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems
- Preventing costly breakdowns by addressing small issues early
One of the biggest advantages of working with ABS is having an additional set of eyes and ears throughout your property. Our janitorial and maintenance teams are already familiar with the buildings they service. That means they’re in a position to notice issues during their regular work and bring them to your attention. It’s one more way we help take work off your plate while keeping your property running smoothly.
