For Owners & Students

Preferred Vendors

A curated network of trusted, local professionals serving the UCR area โ€” the same people our community uses to keep properties running, marketed, and move-in ready. Vetted by referral, not by advertising.

How it works: These are independent local businesses our community has worked with or trusts. Highlander Housing is not affiliated with these vendors, does not employ them, and earns nothing from referrals. Full contact info, current availability, and direct introductions live inside the Discord. Always vet, quote, and contract with any vendor directly before hiring.

Trusted pros, by category

Whether you're prepping a rental, fixing something fast, or getting a property market-ready, here's who the community turns to.

Handyman & General Repairs
Reliable, responsive handymen for turnover repairs, fixture swaps, drywall, doors, and the dozen small things that come up between tenants.

Panel upgrades, EV charger installation, recessed lighting, and code-compliant electrical work for rentals and ADUs.

Routine yard upkeep, cleanups, and curb-appeal work โ€” the difference between a listing that sits and one that leases fast.

Professional listing photos that make a property stand out so it doesn't sit on the market. Worth every dollar on a rental or sale.

Move-out deep cleans and turnover service to get a unit photo-ready and rent-ready between tenants.

For leaks, water heaters, heating and cooling โ€” the systems that turn into emergencies if you don't have someone on call.
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Interior paint and flooring refreshes that reset a tired rental and boost what it commands.

Local movers and furnishing help for students, and for owners staging a furnished rental or ADU.
