With a group of five hardy, all-weather loving guys on the team, we can get to these jobs for you and we do a great job!

Now is the perfect time to waterblast slippery footpaths, courtyards and decks. It's also a great time for giving the lawn some TLC and to mulch garden beds, so you don't have to worry about pulling weeds over the winter.

Offering a variety of services, Steve's Jobs can enhance your outdoors (whether it's your own place or a rental property) and we have availability NOW.

Check out our website which has before and after pics, testimonials and a full list of services at www.stevesjobs.co.nz... and feel free to get in touch.

3) Do you charge a fee for arranging maintenance and repairs?

PPM answer: We do not charge any fees on maintenance and repairs. Everything is covered in our management fee therefore we are not looking for things to fix up so that we can charge a handling fee. You can rest assured if things need doing it's for a valid reason.

4) What are the management fees and/or pricing options when the property is being rented?

PPM answer: We charge a very simple percentage of collected rent. This motivates me to fight for higher rents for our owners. We only start getting our fee once we find suitable tenants and they move in.

For more details on fees and how we operate please call Andrew on 0274888933
