Nearly 40 maintenance technicians came out on Thursday, March 3 to complete in CAA’s Maintenance Mania competition. Seven management companies were represented, as owners, property managers and leasing specialists joined to cheer on their competing maintenance technicians. Spectators donned company t-shirts, waved pom-poms, used noisemakers and held signs as they shouted cheers of encouragement to their teams. During the event, competing technicians completed a series of seven maintenance-themed games as fast as possible. Featured games included AO Smith Water Heater Installation, Frigidaire Icemaker Installation, Halstead Click Lock Plank Installation, Kidde Fire & Carbon Monoxide Safety Installation, Kwikset Key Control Deadbolt Test, and Pfister Faucet Installation. Each participant also built a pinewood-derby-style race car out of maintenance parts prior to the competition that was then raced against other competitors cars. Maintenance Mania, hosted by HD Supply and the National Apartment Association, allows affiliate members to vie for a chance to compete at the national competition held each year at the NAA’s education conference in San Diego. Those participants with the fastest combined times in each region are sent to compete on a national level. Congratulations to the winners!
