Every Abu Dhabi community has its own rhythm, and its own maintenance headaches. A 30th-floor apartment on Al Reem Island needs a different kind of care than a five-bedroom villa in MBZ City. A family home in Khalifa City faces different challenges than a newly handed-over townhouse on Yas Island.
At Drill & Hammer, we deliver home maintenance services in Abu Dhabi that are built around where you live. Our ISO-certified teams cover AC, plumbing, electrical, handyman, painting, pest control and renovation work across the capital, and you can book, track and manage every job from the Drill & Hammer mobile app.
Here is how we support residents in four of Abu Dhabi’s most popular communities.

Home Maintenance on Al Reem Island:
Al Reem Island is home to some of Abu Dhabi’s busiest residential towers, and many of its residents are working professionals with little time to chase contractors. High-rise living also brings its own set of maintenance issues.
Common jobs we handle on Reem Island
- AC servicing for split units and fan coil units, where clogged filters and blocked drain lines are a frequent cause of leaks onto ceilings and floors
- Water heater faults and low water pressure in upper-floor apartments
- Handyman jobs for new tenants: TV mounting, curtain rails, shelving and furniture assembly
- Move-in and move-out painting to help secure your security deposit
Our technicians are used to working within tower access rules, so we coordinate with your building management on permits and time slots where required. Learn more on our dedicated Reem Island maintenance page.
Home Maintenance in MBZ City (Mohammed Bin Zayed City)
MBZ City is one of Abu Dhabi’s largest villa communities, popular with families who want space, gardens and room to grow. Larger homes mean more systems to look after, and more that can go wrong in the peak of summer.
Home Maintenance Services | Common jobs we handle in MBZ City
- Ducted central AC maintenance and duct cleaning for multi-room villas
- Water tank cleaning and pump checks, which matter for household water quality
- External and internal repainting to deal with sun and dust exposure
- Pest control for gardens, kitchens and outdoor areas
- Villa extensions and bathroom renovations
For MBZ villas, we usually recommend a villa Annual Maintenance Contract, which covers scheduled AC visits plus reactive plumbing, electrical and handyman call-outs for one yearly fee. Villa AMC packages start from around AED 2,500 per year.
Home Maintenance in Khalifa City
Khalifa City is a well-established residential area with a mix of villas and low-rise buildings, popular with long-term residents and families. Homes that have been lived in for several years tend to need a steady mix of preventive care and repair work.
Common jobs we handle in Khalifa City
- AC repair and servicing, including compressor, refrigerant and thermostat issues
- Plumbing repairs: leaking pipes, blocked drains and bathroom fixture replacement
- Electrical fault finding and upgrades for older wiring and fittings
- Kitchen and bathroom renovations to modernise existing villas
Khalifa City residents can find area-specific details, pricing guidance and FAQs on our Khalifa City maintenance page.
Home Maintenance on Yas Island
Yas Island has grown into one of Abu Dhabi’s most sought-after residential destinations, with communities such as Yas Acres, Ansam, Water’s Edge and West Yas. Many homes here are relatively new, which brings a different set of priorities.
Common jobs we handle on Yas Island
- Snagging support for newly handed-over apartments and townhouses: loose fittings, door alignment, grout and paint finishes
- Scheduled AC servicing, especially for waterfront properties exposed to summer humidity
- Handyman and installation work for new homeowners setting up
- Preventive maintenance plans to protect your investment from day one
Starting an Annual Maintenance Contract early keeps a new home in top condition and gives you a documented service history, which can be useful when renting out or selling the property later.
