Team coordinating an emergency response in a building

Emergency Maintenance

Our Escalation Procedures

What happens if the first contractor can't resolve the problem, or the situation gets worse mid-response? Here's our escalation protocol, step by step.

The risk of a plan with no escalation

Many management companies stop at the first call: if the contractor doesn't answer or the problem exceeds their expertise, the owner is left searching for a solution alone, mid-emergency.

Our 3-tier escalation chain

Tier 1 (0-60 min): primary area contractor dispatched. Tier 2 (60-90 min, if Tier 1 doesn't respond or scope exceeds their expertise): backup contractor from our vetted network is dispatched and your Jones account manager is notified. Tier 3 (major situations - structural damage, evacuation, multi-unit incidents): Jones leadership directly involved, coordinating with insurers and municipal authorities as needed.

Why this process gives peace of mind

Remote owners who want certainty that a backup plan exists. Condos and multi-unit buildings where a poorly handled emergency can affect several tenants at once.
