Frequently Asked Questions
Is Jones available nights and weekends for emergencies?
Yes. Jones is available for emergencies outside normal business hours, 24/7. Situations that threaten tenant safety or building integrity are prioritized immediately. A tenant experiencing a heating failure in January at 2am will have a contractor dispatched that night, not scheduled for the next business day.
What counts as an emergency?
Typical emergencies include: active water leaks (ceiling, wall, or floor), heating failures in winter months, dangerous electrical issues, broken locks or doors affecting security, gas-related problems, loss of water supply, or any situation that endangers tenant safety or building integrity. We use professional judgment to distinguish genuine emergencies from urgent but non-critical issues that can wait for normal business hours.
Do you contact me for every emergency?
No. For minor emergencies that Jones can handle directly (like coordinating a plumber for a contained leak), you're informed in the next report. For situations with significant financial implications, safety concerns requiring your authorization, or anything uncertain in scope, we contact you directly and explain the situation before proceeding.
Are there extra charges for emergencies?
Contractor costs for emergency dispatch and after-hours work are billed transparently, reflecting the contractor's emergency rates. Emergency coordination by Jones is included in your management package. You see the invoice so you understand exactly what the emergency cost.
How fast does Jones typically respond?
Response time depends on the nature of the emergency. Our established contractor relationships mean we can usually dispatch someone within 30–60 minutes for critical situations like active leaks or heating failures, far faster than an owner cold-calling contractors at midnight. The time to actual repair completion varies by the work type, but having someone on site quickly is the priority.
What if the emergency happens while I'm traveling?
That's exactly the scenario this service is built for. Jones handles the full response on the ground in Montreal and keeps you updated via phone or email depending on the situation's severity. Your location, time zone, or vacation plans never delay the response.
How do I know which contractor Jones will send?
Jones works with vetted local contractors for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and locksmith services, selected for reliability and emergency availability. You'll know the contractor's name and expected arrival time before they're en route. For complex situations, Jones may coordinate multiple trades simultaneously.
What if a contractor's emergency work creates additional damage?
If a contractor's work causes damage in the process of responding to an emergency (e.g., cutting drywall to access a pipe), that's documented and addressed appropriately. Jones takes responsibility for ensuring the contractor's work is professional and uses the least-invasive approach possible.
Can my tenant call Jones directly if there's an emergency?
Yes, ideally. Tenants should have Jones's emergency contact number. However, if a tenant calls you first for some reason, you can contact Jones and we'll handle it immediately. Either way, the emergency gets the response it deserves without delay.
Does emergency maintenance prevent future problems?
Emergency response handles the immediate crisis, but doesn't always fix the root cause. For example, a burst pipe is an emergency; the [aging plumbing system](/en/services/property-maintenance) that caused it may need preventative maintenance planning. Jones will flag issues likely to recur and recommend preventative work once the emergency is stabilized.
