Andrew & Adam have your upmost interest in hand when trying to complete your construction project. They are worth the investment into whatever project you have and trust Blue Collar. I worked with these guys for YEARS! when I was an agent in Chicago and I always could turn to them to fix a problem 😀

Blue Collar is the maintenance company contracted by Renters Warehouse. We recently had two of their handymen, Tobias and Eddie, come over to complete a punch list of items including plumbing, electrical, and painting. The two men were on time and prepared for most of the items on the list. Unfortunately, they botched the painting work, so a follow-up visit will be required to repaint the areas they worked on. A botched door latch and lock installation was also not repaired during their visit. Neither one of them spoke English well, so communication was frustrating. They left a mess in the kitchen and bathroom sinks, using all of our liquid soap for paint clean-up. I spoke to the scheduling manager at Blue Collar about the lackluster work his crew performed. He explained that they were not one of his top tier crews, but that he would send them back out to complete the job. When I told him I wanted a better crew, he accused me of being unprofessional and hung up on me. With any luck Renters Warehouse will offer us a better service to complete the remaining work.REPLY TO ADAM:Hi, Adam. There's no obvious way for me to reply to your reply below, so this is my attempt. Rather than communicate this matter via a Google review, please look up my contact info from the recent service call and reach out to me the normal way. Thanks.UPDATE 1:Just wanted to downgrade this review by a star for two reasons: no word from Adam, despite his lip-service to quality control, and Blue Collar is sending the same worker who botched the paint job to repair it, despite my request not to, and despite the scheduling manager’s acknowledgement that the worker is one of their lowest tier contractors.UPDATE 2:The "repair" to the PVC under our kitchen sink was botched, resulting in a detached connection that caused a minor flood to the kitchen cabinet and ruined several items we had stored there.

Highly recommend Blue Collar, their team did an absolutely awesome job on my home - I couldn't believe the results. My sales rep was Sean Murphy, he was great, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He checked in throughout the entire process and even helped me move some large items that I couldn't do on my own. Great experience all around!Services: Home renovations, Gutter cleaning

Sean and the crew did a great job cleaning our house from top to bottom - roof, siding, brick, driveway and sidewalks, stone and paver patios, gutters, etc. The difference is incredible. No more dirt streaks on gutters, the bluestone is blue again, and the roof is back to its realColor from black. We live in a neighborhood with huge trees which cause everything to discolor. This cleaned it all up. The crew was professional and cleaned everything up after their work and Sean was very responsive. Highly recommended.

Sean Murphy and team from Blue Collar came out to apply the soft wash to our home/roof/walks and it made a huge difference.  We moved in 12 years ago and you lose a sense of what your home looked like until you get something like this done.  We have a desert colored, natural stone front with sand colored brick sides/back and the house shines now.  The concrete walks around the house and the concrete windowsills have a new look.  Our back stairwell was black and now it looks like new concrete but for some cracks.  Our back deck also looks brand new.  I was skeptical on how this would turn out but this is like putting your house thru a thorough car wash.  It is legit.Sean Murphy was our rep.  He was extremely thorough from initial meeting explaining the process to the day of when he was texting us pictures of the work being done.  We were actually out of town when the team came to the property but between the Ring camera videos and Sean actually sending us pictures of the work being done, they delivered and were very respectful and clean.  I actually had a neighbor from across the street grab me upon our return from out of town to ask who and what was going on as they saw Sean on a ladder checking out different areas of our front bay window to be sure all was as it should be.  He walked the property multiple times after the washing to make sure that the job was done correctly.  We had a huge wood pile stacked on the side of the garage on the walkway that Sean ended up moving and restocking himself and better than when we left.  We have a ton of vegetation around the house and none of it was damaged.  â€¨â€¨I never shared with Sean but that is the level of service that you get.  I highly recommend Sean Murphy and Blue Collar.  It's like getting a new home on the outside which now has my wife asking what we do on the inside!

Fast and flawless is the best way to describe this service. Blue Collar goes above and beyond for their clients, which makes owning an investment property a breeze!Not only are they quick at resolving an issue, but if I ever have any questions, Andrew is able to assist with a quick phone call. From calling to report an issue and request a vendor/quote, to completing the work and invoicing process, Blue Collar is awesome!I highly recommend them to help you with property maintenance so that you don't have sweat the small stuff.

Updating my earlier review as new information has come to my attention, and I would like my review to be complete and factual. Yes, Blue Collar is partially responsible for dropping the ball after a pipe froze and burst in my apartment over the weekend. To the credit of Blue Collar, they called me and owned up to the mistake they made after the situation was resolved. In that conversation, I discovered that the reason the service was not completed was because they never got additional follow up from my management company. My management company (Renters Warehouse) lied to me about the situation, and told me they had been in constant contact with Blue Collar during my service request, when in fact it was Renters Warehouse that never followed up with Blue Collar to resolve my issue. Blue Collar notified me that they have already implemented changes to keep this from happening in the future, and they have apologized profusely to me for this issue event though a lot of it was not their fault. This is a sign of a good company that got caught in a bad situation, and I trust that the changes made will ensure that this sort of issue does not happen in the future.

I never even knew a service like this existed, but now that I've found them I'm not sure how anyone with an investment property lives without them.If you're like me, you love the idea of having a rental home, until something goes wrong and you need to do some kind of maintenance. That's when your life falls into a frantic mess of text messages, Facebook posts, and Google research looking for someone who knows someone who can do what you need. Usually doesn't end well...I was turned on to Blue Collar by my old property manager, and I can honestly say I will never use another vendor for anything ever again. Anytime I have any type of maintenance related issue (toilet is running, dishwasher isn't working, need new paint, new carpet, small fixes for a new tenant, etc.) I give them a call, and they handle that entire god awful process we all go through anytime we have to deal with maintenance.But the best part of their service, by far, is the way they treat their clients. These guys just get it, and they really care. I highly recommend giving them a call next time you need anything at all for your rental property. Be sure to speak with Andrew; you'll be glad you did!

The team at Blue Collar is the best. I can't recommend them enough. They are the first people I call whenever there's an issue at my rental property. They are extremely professional, prepared, and organized. It's great know there is a team like that whom I can trust.
