Preservation and REO Vendors: Move Into Commercial Work. Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, Handyman
Posted August 25, 2026

Patriot Holdings International hiring in Nationwide, with active volume in Washington, New York, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Texas, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. Tell us your coverage radius and we will tell you what falls inside it., multiple states.
You already own the truck. You already own the tools. You already photograph everything before, during, and after, because REO taught you to. Here is the part nobody tells preservation vendors: that exact skill set is worth more in commercial facilities work than it is in REO, and the ticket sizes are not close.
Patriot Holdings International is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned facility services company servicing thousands of client locations nationwide across national retail, convenience, self storage, logistics, healthcare, and commercial real estate portfolios. We are opening our bench to property preservation and REO vendors who want to run the same trades on commercial sites.
It is the same work you are already doing. Our volume breaks down almost exactly like your existing crew's skill set:
Plumbing, roughly a third of everything we dispatch. Service and repair, repipes, fixtures, water heaters, drains, sewer, backflow.
HVAC and refrigeration. Service calls, units, controls, walk in and reach in coolers, ice machines, beverage equipment.
Handyman and general repair. Doors and hardware, drywall, flooring, fixtures, the whole punch list.
Electrical. Lighting, ballasts and LED retrofits, dedicated circuits, panels, disconnects, exterior and parking area lighting.
Carpentry and small civil and construction scopes.
Nothing above requires a new trade. It requires driving to a commercial address instead of a vacant house.
What actually changes when you cross over.
No allowables. You are not pricing against a bank's fixed schedule that has not moved in a decade. Commercial work is quoted. You price the scope.
Bigger tickets. A lock change and a mow is not the comparison. Our work orders run from routine service calls up into five figures on capital scopes.
We pay trip charges. Including on quote and assessment visits. You do not drive out for free and hope the bid lands.
Repeat volume from the same locations. Four accounts drive the overwhelming majority of our dispatch, and those clients have stores everywhere. Cover a territory well and you get called again, not put back out to bid against twelve people.
Hourly and per project 1099 arrangements are both available. Tell us what works for your operation.
Your documentation habit becomes an advantage. Commercial clients run everything through portals with photo, check in, and check out requirements. Preservation vendors are already better at this than most commercial contractors. It is the single biggest reason we want you.
A coordinator who answers the phone. Not a ticketing system, not a queue.
Who we want to talk to.
Preservation, REO, and property services vendors with real trade capability in plumbing, HVAC and refrigeration, electrical, handyman, or carpentry
Any license or registration required for the trade in your state
General liability insurance and your own tools and truck
Willing to work occupied commercial sites during business hours and handle the occasional after hours call
Straight communication, real timelines, and clean documentation
Who this is not for. If you only do lawns, lock changes, debris removal, and winterizations with no trade capability behind it, this is not the right fit and we would rather tell you now than waste your week.
About us. Veteran led, founded by a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. Service Disabled Veteran Owned. We service national portfolios across retail, convenience, self storage, logistics, healthcare, and real estate, and we treat the people doing the work like partners, because our clients judge us on your work.
