Commercial properties require regular maintenance to ensure safety, functionality and curb appeal. And while specialized contractors are always needed, it’s helpful to have a dedicated commercial handyman for quickly addressing everyday repairs to keep your sites in top shape—all while creating efficiencies.

How commercial handyman services can benefit your properties
A commercial handyman offers a number of benefits for facilities managers. For example:
- They’re often easier to schedule. Commercial handymen tend to be easier to schedule than specialized tradesmen, and getting someone on site quickly can help reduce downtime and save money.
- Look for bundling opportunities. You can also save time and money when you develop a relationship with a handyman services provider and bundle your small jobs for regularly scheduled visits.
- They act as a jack of all trades. Specialized tradesmen may be needed for more complex plumbing or electrical projects, and of course when a licensed professional is necessary, but they’re also focused on a single system or function. Meanwhile, a handyman can most likely perform smaller repairs across multiple functions, from replacing light bulbs to repairing a cracked doorframe to touching up paint.
- They’re cost-effective. Minor fixes that don’t require extensive expertise can often be handled more cost-effectively by a handyman than a plumber, electrician or other tradesman. Bundling can also create cost efficiencies.
- They help keep your sites safe and well-maintained. Through proactive regular check-ins, handymen can assess your commercial property for signs of wear or potential safety issues they’re on-site to complete your work order. This helps enhance the safety of your sites and ensures they remain in good condition.
The projects where commercial handyman services shine
Having access to a commercial handyman can be invaluable for your properties because of the wide range of tasks and projects they can handle. Here are just a few examples of the types of projects that commercial handymen excel at.
Construction repairs. A commercial handyman can handle a variety of ancillary construction-related repairs, including ceiling tiles, cove base, sheetrock and paint touch-ups as well as other minor carpentry work.
Cart corrals. A commercial handyman can come to your rescue when repairs are needed on cart corrals, including repairing or installing a new one if needed. They can also help recondition shopping carts, cleaning and oiling their wheels to get them back in working order.
Multi-location projects. Having a single handyman who can perform an upgraded task or repair that’s needed at multiple locations can help streamline the work. For example, if a quick-serve restaurant has a rollout project where they're adding a second microwave that requires adding a shelf at all their locations, a handyman can tackle this task swiftly and efficiently at each site.
Pest exclusion. While commercial handymen don’t perform pest control, they are often tasked with the related exclusion work required to block entry points and keep pests out of your property.

How Chain Store Maintenance can help
Here are three key ways Chain Store Maintenance’s commercial handyman services can help your commercial properties shine.
1. General repairs and installations.
Most of Chain Store Maintenance’s commercial handyman work involves responding reactively to needs that arise in your business. With access to thousands of qualified handymen, we take the stress out of dealing with these issues so you can concentrate on your core operations.
2. Preventive maintenance.
Chain Store Maintenance can create a preventive maintenance program to help reduce the need for reactive repairs and ensure your commercial properties stay in top shape. During monthly check-ins performed by a commercial handyman, they can inspect your property and make small repairs on the spot while cataloging larger issues that may require more expertise (such as electrical or HVAC work). They’ll then report back so these can be addressed on a prioritized basis and potentially prevent costlier repairs down the road by fixing a problem early on.
3. When you simply don’t know who to call.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of working with Chain Store Maintenance to provide commercial handyman services is that you don’t have to figure out whom to call to get something fixed. We can determine the right specialist(s) to help, and our hybrid service model combines an expansive network of local service partners and our own network of self-performing service centers to ensure we’re always there when and where you need us.
