Job description
City Wide Facility Solutions is the largest management company in the building maintenance industry. We secure and manage commercial contracts and partner with skilled independent contractors to perform the work. We handle the sales, client communication, billing, and collections - so you can focus on doing what you do best.
We are selectively partnering with established Independent Contractors and service companies to service our commercial clients in the region. If you operate a structured business, deliver professional facility maintenance, restoration, or renovation services, and are looking for steady, recurring work - without the burden of chasing new contracts or managing collections - this may be a strong fit.
City Wide helps you grow your revenue, keep your crews busy, and get paid consistently - including guaranteed payment on the 10th for work performed.
We operate throughout South Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana - a strong commercial market with warehouses, medical facilities, manufacturing sites, schools, and municipal buildings.

We manage facility maintenance for offices, medical centers, schools, and industrial properties that require ongoing daytime support to maintain cleanliness, safety, and presentation throughout business hours.
This is a recurring, daytime service opportunity ideal for contractors who value consistent schedules, stable income, and long-term client relationships.

Eliminate collections headaches. We handle billing and client payment - you get paid consistently and predictably. - Scale Your Revenue Quickly
Access multiple accounts across our territory - grow from a small crew to a multi-team operation with steady work. - Professional Account Management Support

We manage contracts, client expectations, and service coordination - freeing you to focus on delivering quality work and building your team. - 20+ Other Opportunities
Expand into additional services (floor care, porter services, consumables, specialty cleaning) and increase revenue per account. - Long-Term Partnership Model
We are invested in your growth - many of our partners have scaled into six-figure and multi-crew businesses with us.
