FAQ

Common Questions

How does pricing work?+

You pay one flat monthly management fee that covers vendor coordination, work order management, and ongoing communication, based on your property's size, complexity, and number of tenants. For larger projects, a coordination fee is applied on top of the vendor invoice, scaling with the size of the work.

Do I have to switch away from vendors I already use?+

No. If you have existing vendor relationships you'd like to keep, we're glad to work with them. Otherwise, we bring in a specialist from our vetted network for the job.

How do I submit a maintenance request?+

Through your Northgate Group client portal: submit a request in a couple of clicks, and track its status from submitted to scheduled to completed, all in one place.

How fast do you respond?+

We reply to new inquiries within one business day. Once you're a client, we begin scheduling work orders as soon as they come in. Exact timing depends on the urgency of the issue and vendor availability, but nothing sits unaddressed.

Do you offer emergency or after-hours service?+

Yes. We offer emergency plumbing and electrical services outside of normal business hours. For other maintenance needs, reach out during business hours and we'll get the right vendor moving.

What areas do you serve?+

We serve Upstate New York, Western Massachusetts, and Southern Vermont. If your property is outside that range, reach out anyway. We can often make an exception or evaluate your specific case.

Is there a long-term contract?+

There's a 3-month initial commitment. After that, either party can cancel any time with 30 days' notice. No rigid multi-year lock-in.

What types of properties do you work with?+

All types: commercial, residential, retail, mixed-use, and other businesses. If you manage a property, we can very likely help.

How do I get started?+

Reach out through our contact page with a bit about your property, and we'll follow up within one business day to talk through a proposal. This usually involves a site visit, so we can put together a proposal that fits your property.
