Tapi has released the Q2 2025 edition of the Property Maintenance Index (PMI) – a data-driven quarterly report designed to empower property managers with nationwide trends, pricing insights, and seasonal guidance.
Following the successful launch of the Property Maintenance Index in April, which received hundreds of downloads, the Q2 report dives deeper, offering a comprehensive breakdown of the most common maintenance jobs, their cost ranges, and expert tips to stay ahead of seasonal wear and tear across residential properties.
“The PMI is a great tool to empower property managers whose area of expertise and knowledge base is not often maintenance.” – Steve Nottle, Head of Property Management – Image Property.
Key Insights from the Q2 PMI Include:
- Taps, toilets, and showers remain the top plumbing concerns, with tap jobs averaging $181–$350 nationwide.
- Dishwashers top the appliance list, with costs ranging from $171 to $828.
- Structural jobs like ceiling repairs and ventilation saw the largest cost increases in Q2.
- Power points and heaters remain the most requested electrical jobs.
Each section of the index also includes seasonal maintenance tips to help property managers reduce reactive repairs and manage tenant expectations more proactively.
A Daily Tool for Smarter Management
The Q2 edition of the Property Maintenance Index builds gives property managers more usable insights for daily operations.
With seasonal comparisons, clear visual cost trends, and category-specific tips, the Index is an effective tool for:
- Justifying costs to landlords with credible, market-aligned benchmarks.
- Planning and budgeting repairs using cost ranges and seasonal forecasts.
- Identifying cost blowouts early, thanks to visibility on price trends and outliers.
- Educating owners with data that explains why maintenance jobs fluctuate by time of year.

Whether you’re negotiating invoices, preparing rent reviews, or advising an investor on asset longevity, the PMI gives you the confidence to back your decisions with data.
“The Index isn’t just about numbers, it’s about context,” said Anna Pengelly, Head of Customer Success at Tapi.
“It turns scattered maintenance data into a tool that helps property managers be the hero to their clients.”
