Celebrating Our Hardworking Maintenance Teams!

At Roots Management Group, we recognize that our communities wouldn’t be the same without our incredible maintenance technicians. These dedicated individuals work tirelessly to keep our communities running smoothly, ensuring residents feel safe, comfortable, and at home. This month, we are excited to celebrate Maintenance Appreciation Month—a time to acknowledge their hard work, dedication, and the heart they bring to our communities every day.

Going Above and Beyond

Our maintenance teams don’t just fix things—they build, restore, and create a true sense of community. They are problem-solvers, friendly faces, and the first to step up when things get tough. Our Community Managers and employees at Roots have shared some heartfelt words about the maintenance technicians who make such a difference.

Tamra Lewis of Lakewood Village had glowing praise for Richard Rice, saying:

"Richard Rice is a veteran and our 'class clown,' always giving us support, making us laugh, and constantly showering us with food and candy, which is always appreciated. He’s incredibly talented—before joining our staff, he worked as a contractor building our sheds and carports, so he’s been part of our community for years. He’s a hard worker, and along with Johnnell, built our veterans flag honors area. He’s dependable, friendly, and truly one of the backbones of our community."

Charlotte Lynch from Coachlight Village East shared her appreciation for Adam:

"Donuts for Adam at Coachlight East this morning! Adam has really had to shine lately with the weather we’ve had, and he’s had to do it alone. He just keeps pushing through and hasn’t let it affect his fun personality. Our residents love him, and so do we!"

Kennedie Waller at Shady Oaks and Wheel Estate didn’t hold back in praising her team:

"We have the best maintenance team ever! They are truly amazing at what they do. The residents and I both appreciate them very much!"

And from Conway Acres, Tabatha Davis shared:

"We appreciate the hard efforts made every day from both our Maintenance Techs and our Maintenance Supervisor. Thank you all so much!"

Briana Gonzalez of Sun Meadows says:
"Took our maintenance and make-ready team to an appreciation lunch! We love them so much!"

Manning Heaps of Endless Summer shared:
"Took our maintenance man Rob out to his favorite local Mexican restaurant. We appreciate all the things he is able to fix and improve around the property! Thanks, Rob!"

Shawnee McCormick of Crestview and Oakridge praised her team:
"My Maintenance team has been killing it—from freezing weather and being on-site to trying to get the tenants' water, to fixing shingles and cutting up trees after 60 mph winds. I appreciate you both!"

Gina West-Keirn at McAllen Mobile has great things to say about her maintenance technician: 
"He has been in the community for 13 years and a Maintenance Technician since 2022. He is very knowledgeable and a great asset!"

Ronald English at Brighthaven shared:
"Our maintenance tech enjoyed his Pizza Lunch! We are very fortunate to have fun and 'Loney' Maintenance Tech!"

Tuesday Schmidt at Pine Ridge Estate said:
"We provided breakfast for our maintenance technicians from Panera!"

Krista Gettler at Parkhaven Estates added:
"We have amazing maintenance techs, and I don’t know what I would do without either of them! The guys had Jimmy Johns and other treats throughout the month!"

A Month of Appreciation

Throughout the month, we’re celebrating our maintenance teams in special ways—from surprise breakfasts and treats to community shout-outs and tokens of appreciation. These hardworking individuals go above and beyond daily, and this is our time to make sure they feel valued and recognized for everything they do.

To our maintenance teams—thank you for your dedication, resilience, and for being the heart of our communities. You make life better for everyone, and we are so grateful for each and every one of you!

If you see a maintenance technician around your community this month, be sure to give them a big thank you!
