Buildings are complicated.
We handle it.

Maintenance, cleaning, turnover, and landscaping services for your residential or commercial building.

The Handlers Cooperative is a Black-owned, worker-owned business based in Chicago. We believe buildings—and the people connected to them—deserve care, accountability, and follow-through.
