2026 Top Maintenance Companies Announced
AppWork and The Maintenance Academy Announce 2026 Top Maintenance Co. Award Winners
February 15, 2026 | Ramsey, NJ — AppWork, the all-in-one maintenance operations platform built specifically for multifamily operators, in partnership with The Maintenance Academy, today announced the winners of the 2026 Top Maintenance Co. Awards, recognizing the multifamily operators who achieved the highest resident satisfaction ratings on completed work orders nationwide.
The Top Maintenance Co. Awards honor 15 operators whose portfolios earned the highest percentage of 4 and 5 star resident ratings, a direct reflection of consistent execution, responsiveness, and service quality across their communities. These awards celebrate organizations that understand a fundamental truth: exceptional maintenance is not simply operational it is experiential!
While maintenance is often perceived as a back-office function, today’s leading operators recognize it as one of the most powerful drivers of resident satisfaction, retention, and reputation. Every completed work order represents a moment of truth. Every service interaction is an opportunity to build trust.
The 2026 award winners have demonstrated measurable excellence at scale and have established a national benchmark for modern maintenance performance in multifamily housing.
By anchoring recognition in verified resident feedback, the Top Maintenance Co. Awards elevate maintenance from a cost center to a strategic differentiator, reinforcing its critical role in building stronger communities and stronger portfolios.
“Maintenance isn’t a back-office function — it’s the heartbeat of the resident experience,” said Sean Landsberg, CEO & Co-Founder of AppWork. “These companies have earned their residents’ trust every single day through responsiveness, quality, and care. This badge represents more than strong metrics — it represents operational excellence and a deep commitment to the people who call their communities home. We’re proud to recognize the best of the best.”
“This award reflects exactly why The Maintenance Academy exists,” said Mark Sharp, CEO of The Maintenance Academy. “By recognizing management companies based on real resident work order feedback, we’re reinforcing a powerful truth: great maintenance builds great communities. When operators invest in maintenance excellence, the entire industry rises.”
