The repair itself was simple.

The process wasn’t.

A tenant reported an issue.

Photos were incomplete.

A contractor asked follow-up questions.

Another contractor gave a vague quote.

Over three days, the owner handled:

– multiple messages

– several calls

– repeated explanations

Nothing went wrong — it just took too much attention.

This is the kind of situation repair coordination is designed to reduce.
