In-Unit Maintenance Services for Association Unit Owners
Live in an Altus-managed association? Our sister company, My Handyman Chicago, offers preferred-rate maintenance services directly inside your unit — no association approval needed, no hassle, no markups.
Your unit. Our team. Preferred pricing.
Common area maintenance — hallways, exterior, parking lots, landscaping — is handled by your association's management agreement. But when something inside your unit needs attention, you need a reliable, licensed technician.
That's what this service is for. As a resident of an Altus-managed association, you get direct access to My Handyman Chicago's licensed technicians at a preferred rate — with the same documentation standards and photo transparency we apply to every job we manage.
No middleman. No markups. No surprises.

What You Should Know
This is NOT an association expense.
In-unit maintenance services are billed directly to the unit owner — not to the association. These are your personal maintenance costs for work inside your unit that is not covered by your association's management agreement.
No board approval needed.
You can request in-unit maintenance directly. Your board does not need to approve work inside your own unit.
Licensed and bonded.
Our technicians through My Handyman Chicago are licensed and bonded. All work is documented with before-and-after photos through CompanyCam.
