Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

I had issues with my AC, so I put in a work order and Alex on the maintenance team immediately arrived and was ready to work on solving the issue. I was provided with regular updates and the team worked hard to provide a permanent solution rather than a temporary fix. Huge shout out to the maintenance technicians Alexander and Hunter for their hard work! They're awesome!

I have been living at Block C Apartments for over a year and a half now, and absolutely love it! I had a little mishap in the kitchen with the cabinets, so I called the office and got a maintenance appointment scheduled. Alexander and Hunter came in and were just so kind and helpful. They were able to fix the issue within 20-30 minutes. They are great people and always help me out with anything I need! 10/10 experience and I really enjoy Alexander and Hunter for always lending a helping hand!
