PAM keeps 450+ rental properties running across six counties of Southeastern Wisconsin. That takes skilled contractors we can dispatch reliably, pay promptly, and trust to represent PAM's standards on every job.
This page is for two audiences: contractors and service providers who currently work with PAM, and qualified vendors interested in joining the network.
Tell us about your trade and coverage area. If it looks like a fit, our maintenance coordinator will reach out to talk scope, rates, and onboarding.
If you're already in the PAM vendor network, your work flows through the Vendor Portal. The platform handles dispatch, resident communication, scheduling, photo documentation, and invoicing.
For day-to-day questions about a specific job, communicate through the Vendor Portal first. For broader questions about the relationship — payment timing, vendor categories, scheduling conflicts — call the PAM office at (414) 943-1038.

PAM doesn't accept all comers. The network is selective because the resident experience depends on consistent quality, and our investor clients depend on consistent pricing. Vendors who fit PAM's standards tend to stay for years and receive steady, predictable work volume.
To apply, start the conversation below. Qualifying typically takes 1 to 3 weeks.
What To Include In Your Application
A few realities of the relationship — how jobs reach you, how you get paid, and how PAM keeps pricing clean for everyone involved.
Every work order flows through the Vendor Portal. You're notified by email and in-app when a job is assigned — scheduling, resident messaging, and photo documentation all live in the platform.
PAM charges investors a flat $10 fee per work order — never a percentage on top of your bill. The structure keeps coordination predictable for owners and clean for vendors.
Your pricing flows to the property owner as-is, with no markup. You don't need to inflate prices to absorb a manager's margin, and owners don't pay hidden fees on your labor.
Standard terms are net 30 from invoice approval. PAM doesn't sit on invoices to optimize cash flow — vendors who get paid on time stay in the network for years.
Across 450+ units, work orders flow continuously: routine maintenance, emergency dispatch, turnovers, capital improvements. Vendors in active categories see multiple jobs per week.
Investors are notified when a work order opens, not after completion. Expect occasional owner questions on larger jobs — PAM coordinates that conversation so you stay focused on the work.
The bar is practical, not bureaucratic. Meet these and you stay on active dispatch with steady work; the vendors who hold the line are the ones who last.
Current Wisconsin licensure for all trade-licensed work. General liability of $1M per occurrence minimum, worker's comp as required by statute, and auto coverage where vehicles are used. Verified before first dispatch.
Confirmation within 24 hours of assignment. Most jobs scheduled within 48 to 72 hours, emergency dispatch within 2 to 4 hours during posted windows. Vendor Portal messages answered within 4 business hours.
Work that meets or exceeds code, with before-and-after photo documentation on substantive jobs and no callbacks within reasonable warranty periods. Clear status updates as the work progresses.
Competitive with market rates for your trade in Southeastern Wisconsin. Pricing transparency on bid jobs, and no surprise charges added after work begins. Honest numbers keep the relationship durable.
Professional, respectful, and on time. Residents experience the vendor as a PAM representative — the way you carry yourself on site shapes how residents see PAM.
Vendors who consistently meet these standards stay in the network and receive steady work. Vendors who don't are moved off active dispatch. The bar is practical, not bureaucratic.
PAM dispatches across a wide range of trades and service categories. If your trade isn't listed, it's still worth applying — vendor needs evolve with the portfolio.
Once your vendor application is approved, PAM sends a registration invitation to the email address on your application. Accept the invitation, complete your business profile, and you're set up to receive dispatches. Account settings can be updated any time through the Vendor Portal.
When a job is assigned in the Vendor Portal, you'll receive an email and in-app notification. Accept the assignment within 24 hours, then contact the resident to schedule access. Most routine jobs should be completed within 3 to 5 business days of acceptance. If you can't reach the resident within 12 hours, the Vendor Portal provides instructions for accessing the unit per the resident's lease and PAM's protocols.
Communicate through the Vendor Portal as soon as you know there's a delay — parts ordering, permit issues, weather-dependent work, or resident scheduling. Honest, early communication is always preferred over a missed timeline with no notice.
Submit invoices through the Vendor Portal after the work is complete and photo-documented. PAM reviews invoices within a few business days, and approved invoices are paid on net 30 terms. PAM does not mark up your invoice to the owner.
Either is fine. Some PAM vendors work with multiple property managers; some work primarily with PAM. The relationship doesn't require exclusivity in either direction.
Notify PAM immediately through the Vendor Portal. The team handles resident-side complications, scope disputes, and any conversation that needs management involvement. Vendors aren't expected to mediate complex resident situations.
Yes. PAM accepts referrals from vendors in the network. Call the PAM office at (414) 943-1038 with your name and the prospective vendor's details.
Call the office at (414) 943-1038 and ask for Angelika (Director of Operations) or Jim Miller. Vendor feedback is taken seriously — long-term vendor relationships only work when both sides can raise issues directly.
