Built on Service, Driven by Excellence
The journey of Handlin Construction began when Chris Handlin, a United States Marine, firefighter, and EMT, discovered his calling through a property investing book written by a fellow firefighter. Drawing from his extensive remodeling experience, Chris started purchasing distressed properties throughout Kansas City, transforming them with exceptional craftsmanship.
Recognizing the community's need for reliable, skilled professionals, Chris began helping other property owners find quality construction services. This passion for serving others naturally evolved into Handlin Construction—a company built on the same values that shaped Chris's military and emergency service career.
As a lifelong Kansas native, Chris has deep roots in the community he serves. Owning multiple properties throughout Kansas City, he understands firsthand the challenges property owners face and the importance of quality workmanship. His unique perspective as both a licensed contractor and active property investor enables him to guide clients toward informed decisions that save money and increase property value.
At Handlin Construction, we believe in investing in more than just properties—we invest in people. Chris actively coaches youth sports and volunteers with local philanthropic organizations, churches, and senior living centers. His strong Christian faith and dedication to serving others remain at the heart of our company's mission.
