The service
What school & campus facilities maintenance is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
School and campus facilities maintenance covers repairs and refreshes to the buildings and grounds that a school uses every day: classrooms, hallways, lockers, doors, signage, gates, playground hardware and exterior walls. School & Campus Facilities Maintenance in Los Altos is booked through pros who cover its 2 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Old Los Altos, Downtown Los Altos Village, and Country Club. In Los Altos, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. On NorTech a facilities lead adds the campus, chooses an independent pro at a rate shown first, and approves logged hours before weekly billing.

What is not part of school & campus facilities maintenance
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.

- Fire alarm, sprinkler, security systems and electrical beyond like-for-like swaps. Those are licensed trades.

How often to book school & campus facilities maintenance
A school building follows a yearly rhythm of use and rest, and regular visits keep repairs ahead of it. Every visit is booked with a pro you picked, and buildings can be added, dropped or paused as the portfolio shifts.
Before you book school & campus facilities maintenance
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Collect tickets through the year
Keep one running list of damaged doors, lockers and walls, with room numbers. A complete list in spring makes summer scheduling accurate and lets the pro bring the right parts.
Order long-lead items early
Specific locker handles, door closers and signs can take weeks to arrive. If a part has to match existing equipment, order it before the break begins.
Share the vendor rules
Provide sign-in procedures, badge requirements and restricted areas up front. The pro can tell you before the start date whether they meet them.
Plan around custodial work
Floor waxing, deep cleaning and painting should not overlap. Agree who goes first in each room so cleaned floors are not splashed with paint.
Mark rooms for paint
Put paint colors and sheens by room in the notes, and keep the old cans if you have them. Matching a worn classroom wall depends on knowing the original finish.
Check district purchasing rules
Public schools may need purchase orders, approved vendor lists or competitive quotes. Confirm the rule before work starts so invoices are not held up.
Say where in Los Altos you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Old Los Altos, Downtown Los Altos Village, and Country Club, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
