- Our method and philosophy is to use independent contractors
for on-site maintenance. We believe this "arm's length"
approach insures honest, consistent, dependable and
competitively priced work. This competitiveness not only
keeps prices fair, but insures high quality work. No mark-ups
are added to contractor billings.
- We use a minimum of 4 handyman-type contractors for day-to-
day maintenance such as repairing leaky faucets, appliance
repair, heating and electrical general repair, and minor gutter
and roof repair.

managers perform these duties at their communities.

- Painting is also done by independent contractors. This is an
area where large disparities exist In pricing, dependability and
quality.

treatment, sprinkler installation, and regular parking lot
maintenance are awarded on a per bid basis.

contract plumbers electricians, heating and air conditioning
repairmen, roofers, and concrete and asphalt companies.

business relationships, American Lighthouse Estates Inc. has
