Back9 Trades is a full-service repair and maintenance company built for multifamily owners and property managers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded by SF multifamily veterans, we run day-to-day work orders, 24/7 emergencies, unit turns, and recurring services with our own crews.
Work orders, after-hours coverage, unit turns, and recurring services from one vendor with one point of contact. Every job is photo-documented and closed out properly.
Day-to-day repairs across plumbing, electrical, appliances, carpentry, painting, locks, access systems, common areas, pest, and fire and safety.
Live dispatch nights, weekends, and holidays. Floods, lockouts, no-heat, no-power, and security issues are covered.
Move-out to make-ready in days, not weeks. Flat-rate or scoped pricing with no surprises.
Predictable monthly billing for the work that has to happen anyway.
Our field team is built from technicians and supervisors with years of multifamily experience across San Francisco buildings. Crews are uniformed, badged, background-screened, and OSHA-trained. Dispatch and field staff operate in English and Spanish.
