Savary Solution’s Policies

Savary Solutions Inc. is a year-round property management business backed by 45 years of island experience and urban residential construction. We are known for the trust and collaborative relationships we develop by providing seasonal emails, and timely communications to help keep our clients attuned to relevant maintenance issues. We do not have professional accreditation for any of our services.
The policies we’ve outlined below are intended to provide & promote clarity, consistency, accountability, and efficiency.
Job Requests & Communications
While we love the speed and ease of quick communication that texts provide, we also find that they are like passing notes in class: we’ll often respond quickly, but they’re not great for passing on and confirming critical information. Please email job requests with a relevant subject line & job details … honestly, we appreciate the details.
Service Response
The wide range of services we offer requires us to take a variety of factors into account: time sensitivity, importance, monetary or energetic cost, necessity to a subsequent task, etc. Please be patient, your job is important to us, but it may not be completed right away, as we’re often triaging many jobs in addition to emergency calls. We do our best to be punctual and complete your jobs prior to your arrival, and if we can’t, to inform you otherwise.

Monthly Plans
- We copy keys mutually deemed necessary to fulfill the obligations of the Security Plan.

- Cell phone numbers are required for Photo/text confirmations.
- Storm checks are discretionary, based on relative storm severity, wind direction, and time of year, i.e. typically after November, most forest debris has already been blown down so 50 kph winds thereafter are less likely to create issues on your property.
