Vacation Rental Maintenance & Handyman

Vacation rental maintenance services maintain Airbnb, VRBO, and short-term rental properties - performing repairs, preventive maintenance, handling guest issues, and keeping rentals in excellent condition for reviews.

You serve multiple vacation rental owners and property managers.

Monthly retainers range from $150-$800 per property or per-call rates.

Managing 20-60 vacation rentals generates $80,000-$280,000 annually with 50-70% margins.

Target clients include Airbnb and vacation rental owners, vacation rental property managers, vacation rental platforms, real estate investors with STRs, and owners with multiple rental properties.

Services include routine maintenance and inspections, guest issue response and repairs, preventive maintenance, turnover inspections and fixes, emergency repairs, and coordinating specialty contractors.

Success requires quick responsive service (guest issues impact reviews), working around guest bookings and turnovers, vacation rental market knowledge, maintaining properties for 5-star reviews, potentially offering 24/7 emergency service, and building trust with absentee owners.

Many vacation rental maintenance services specialize geographically in vacation markets, offer same-day emergency response, provide detailed reporting with photos to owners, potentially expand to property management services, use vacation rental software for scheduling, and build reputation through maintaining properties that earn excellent reviews.
