Hoover Property Management & Maintenance
At Decas Group, we take a unique approach to maintaining your property.
We encourage owners to save a $300 maintenance reserve in their account as a backup plan for any repair issues that may occur. If, however, we find that the damages are caused by tenants, we hold them liable for the repair costs.
If the repair costs are below $300, we fix the issue for the renter and then bill the owner. In case it exceeds the price limit, we will contact you before resolving the issue to figure out your best course of action.
Our property management and maintenance services aim at providing the highest levels of convenience and satisfaction for owners as well as tenants. Here’s how we do it:
- Promptly respond to maintenance requests and resolve them with the help of qualified contractors.
- Ensure absolute lease enforcement.
- Collect rent on time.
- Provide a safe and habitable space to the tenants.
- Carry out preventative maintenance.
- Conduct rigorous inspections.
- Deliver accurate accounting and bookkeeping.

I have used DECAS to manage our properties for 6 years. They are professional, responsive and are very good at turning over properties once they go vacant. During COVID, which I believe was the most difficult time to manage properties in our lifetime, DECAS was able to keep our investments maintained and cash flowing in spite of incredible challenges outside of their control. A job well done. Great work DECAS!

How do you handle maintenance Issues?
Each unit has a $300 reserve for work orders. If the estimate for said work comes back below the $300 limit, we take care of it without bothering the owner. If the free estimate comes back over the $300 threshold, we send it to the owner for approval or denial.
Do you deal with Sec8 or houses on Government assistance?
We are very familiar with the 3 major housing authorities in B’ham (HABD, JCHA, BESHA) and have a working relationship with the caseworkers and inspection departments for each (McCright and OHDi). We will handle the initial move-in inspections as well as annual and special inspections to ensure payments resume.
What areas do you service?
We manage homes in every corner of Greater Birmingham.
How do you handle rehabs of vacant properties?
Whether it be an unoccupied unit or your tenant has just moved out, we send our estimator out to create a courtesy scope of work for the owner. Our rehabs/estimates are created taking into consideration the location of your unit and return on investment.

We market our units through the major sites as well as our own. Avenues such as Facebook, GoSec8 and MLS are utilitzed often in addition for more traffic.
