A well maintained rental, is a well loved home
Our WellNest package keeps a space in tip top shape

Introducing: Well-Nest Services


Maintenance is her love language. Our founder, lisa, was Nest’s very first maintenance tech. For about a decade, she had paint in her hair and a toolbox in hand plus all the care. Maintenance isn't just fixing what was broken. It's caring for homes, residents and our clients' bottom line. 


Prevent Problems Before They Start. Well-Nest visits are annual top to bottom checks


  • Dryer vent cleaning (remove, clear lint, inspect, reinstall)
  • Safety device testing (smoke/CO detectors, fire extinguisher)
  • Appliance performance checks (fridge coils, dishwasher filter, microwave vent)
  • Water heater inspection
  • Plumbing health review (fixtures, shut-offs, supply lines)
  • Bath exhaust fan cleaning and check
  • Leak inspections (bath, kitchen, walls, ceilings)
  • Pest/rodent signs check
  • Lock & access control review
  • Tagging main water shut-off
  • Photo-documented condition report

Our Well-Nest program is led our in-house licensed general contracting team and Director of Maintenance Travis DonBullian — who’s also had paint in his hair for decades. Together, we’re committed to keeping your rental investment in top top shape.

Routine Repairs + Maintenance: What to Expect

When residents call or submit a maintenance ticket through their portal, our team quickly triages:

  • If it’s a simple fix, we guide residents through it.
  • For smaller repairs (a few hundred dollars), we dispatch one of our in-house techs.
  • For bigger or specialty issues, we engage vetted vendors like appliance pros, roofers, and masons.


From leaky faucets in Logan Circle to roof repairs in Brookland, Nest DC serves as the single point of contact for all maintenance and service providers, keeping owners in the loop every step of the way so repairs are handled at the right price, at the right time.


Emergency Call Service: We answer the phone

  • Available to residents 24/7/365
  • Rapid response to secure the property
  • Vendor coordination to stabilize and solve emergencies fast

My Promise To Our Clients

I want you to spend less time (and money) maintaining your rental. That means:

  • Catching problems early with our Nest-Well preventive maintenance program and a Well-Nest visit.
  • Fair vendor pricing through consistent vetting and screening for quality and value — if they don’t work well for you, they don’t work for us
  • Resident education to reduce requests — we show residents how to reset a garbage disposal or change an air filter themselves. 

Of course, even the best-maintained homes see things wear out over time. The days of avocado-green refrigerators lasting 30 years may be gone, but we know how to replace appliances quickly — and if not, we keep a spare on hand just in case.
