We see our maintenance technicians around in their awesome Camden blue shirts every day. We smile and wave, telling them that service request we forgot to put in. But did you ever wonder what a full day looks like for them? We took some time to find out what a normal day looks like for our maintenance team at Camden Ballantyne.

It was a "tall" order with 15 work orders pending, two apartment homes to get ready for our new residents, and grounds to clean. We started off by walking the property to make sure it was nice and clean. It was not an easy task to walk 39 acres of land, clean the fountain and throw out the trash on a 90-degree North Carolina day. But our guys do it with a smile.

Then it was off to races with a few work orders. Rafael was happy to have an extra hand to go and get the tools needed off his cart…from the third floor!

Finally, we worked on getting an apartment ready for the next resident. This includes cleaning the A/C system and return vents, caulking the tubs, touching up paint on some minor sheetrock repairs, and checking all the appliances and fixtures. PHEW!

After taking the time to truly experience what our maintenance team faces every day, we found ourselves with a higher amount of respect and appreciation for them. Every day, rain or shine, hot or cold, our maintenance team works their hardest to provide all of our residents with comfort, ease, and of course the customer service that is expected when living with Camden. 

So next time you see a maintenance team member in a Camden polo shirt, make sure to take the time to thank them for their dedication and for truly embodying Living Excellence.
