JMC Employees Participate in MA Apartment Association's Maintenance Mania

2022 marked the return of Maintenance Mania! This event is a national program for maintenance technicians to compete against each other in several skill-based challenges. The program is presented by the National Apartment Association and sponsored by HD Supply. The event was topped off with a self-designed race car contest followed by a reception and an award ceremony. JMC & Co had 11 competitors and several staff members came to spectate and cheer on our JMC team. JMC felt the "need for speed" coming into this heated competition which brought us to our Top Gun inspired theme this year! All employees wore JMC Top Gun shirts and aviator sunglasses and all competitors rocked their own set of customized dog tags to prepare for the "Danger Zone".

Our maintenance technicians were put to the test with seven different challenges to complete against the clock for the fastest time. The challenges included: the AO Smith Water Heater Installation, Pfister Topfit Faucet Installation, Figidaire Icemaker Installation, Halstead Click-Lock Plank Installation, Kidde Fire & Carbon Monoxide Safety Installation, Kwiset Ket Control Deadbolt Test, and the Home Depot Pro Xtra Car Race Competition.
