What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of hands‑on professional experience in handyman work, residential construction, maintenance, or remodeling
• Proficient in at least 3 of our core trades: drywall, painting, carpentry, doors, or punch list work
• Strong communicator – you can set expectations with customers, explain what you found, and leave them confident in the work
• Professional presence – you treat the home with respect, protect surfaces, clean up, and leave it better than you found it
• Dependable and solution‑focused – you show up, you follow through, and when something unexpected comes up, you problem‑solve
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (if not assigned a company vehicle)
• Able to lift up to 50 lbs and work safely on ladders
• Comfortable using a smartphone for job notes, photos, and communication
• Background check required prior to hire
