FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you price commercial maintenance?
Maintenance agreements are priced monthly based on building size, systems and visit frequency. Repairs outside the agreement are quoted in writing before work starts.
Do you charge for estimates?
Walkthroughs and written estimates for San Diego County commercial properties are free.
Can I bundle services for a lower price?
Yes. Combining maintenance, cleaning and repairs with one vendor usually lowers total cost and simplifies billing.
What types of properties do you serve?
Office buildings, retail centers, medical offices, industrial and flex buildings, HOA common areas and mixed-use properties across San Diego County.
Do you serve residential homes?
No. RAM focuses on commercial and multi-tenant properties.
Which cities do you cover?
All of San Diego County, including San Diego, Chula Vista, Oceanside, Escondido, Carlsbad, El Cajon, Vista, San Marcos, Encinitas, National City, La Mesa, Santee and Poway.
What happens after I request a quote?
We schedule a walkthrough, review your building's systems and send a written scope and price, usually within a few business days.
How do tenants submit requests?
Tenants or your property manager send work orders to one RAM contact by phone or email, and we report back when work is complete.
Do you provide reports?
Yes. Every visit is documented with notes and photos, and maintenance clients get a monthly summary.
Should I repair or replace my commercial roof?
If damage is limited to flashing, seams or penetrations and the membrane is still sound, repair or coating is usually the better investment. Widespread wet insulation or a roof past its service life often justifies replacement.
When is the best time for roof maintenance in San Diego?
September through November, before the winter rains. Clearing drains and sealing flashing then prevents most rainy-season leaks.
How often should commercial HVAC be serviced?
At least twice a year — spring for cooling and fall for heating — with filter changes every 1–3 months depending on occupancy and dust.
Do you service all brands?
Yes. We work on the common commercial brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, Daikin and Mitsubishi.
Do you clean medical and dental offices?
Yes. We follow cleaning and disinfection checklists suited to medical office buildings and can work after hours.
Can you combine cleaning with maintenance?
Yes — that's a big reason owners choose RAM. One vendor and one invoice for cleaning, repairs and preventive maintenance.
