Property managers ask us the same question first: 'How much does a maintenance contract cost?' We believe in transparent pricing. Here are our per-unit monthly rates for apartment maintenance contracts in Houston.

Our pricing is designed to be competitive with — or cheaper than — maintaining an in-house maintenance team. When you factor in the cost of salaries, benefits, tools, vehicles, insurance, and management overhead, our maintenance contracts typically save apartment communities 20-40% compared to in-house maintenance.
