Artists Wanted — Bring Your Hands and Your Eye for Color

Painters, sculptors, whittlers, sketchers, tinkerers — this one's for you. At Surface Experts, your artistic instincts aren't a hobby you leave at home. They're the whole job.

Every repair is a tiny, one-of-a-kind puzzle: a different color to match, a different sheen to nail, a different material to work with. No two are alike, so you're improvising, mixing, and problem-solving your way to an invisible fix — usually in a couple of hours. When you're done, the damage simply disappears. That's the art.

And yes — you'll get your hands dirty. This is real, physical, hands-on work: kneeling on floors, blending materials, feeling out textures, working on-site in apartments, hotels, and construction zones. If you love making things with your hands and have a good eye for color, this is a paycheck for the way your brain already works.

ABOUT SURFACE EXPERTS

We fix minor damage on all kinds of hard surfaces — bathtubs, cabinets, floors, appliances, countertops, furniture, elevator panels and more! By pairing traditional trades with our own original process and products, we make repairs that last and look great — all with a smile.

Most companies want to resurface everything (which we can do if we have to), even a scratch a few inches wide. We fix the spot, not the whole surface. That means happy customers who save time and money, call us back again and again, and keep one more damaged surface out of the landfill. A typical repair leaves no mess, no smell, and takes under two hours — usually just a tablespoon or two of product, so everything you need fits in a small kit.

OUR VISION

To build and lead a nationally recognized market for surface repair as the smart alternative to replacement or full resurfacing and to make our brand mean "spot repair" to facilities and maintenance managers everywhere.

OUR MISSION

To build outstanding teams through strong relationships, and to solve our customers' problems by cutting the waste of time, money, and materials headed for the landfill.

OUR VALUES

• Serve Others — Put relationships first. No jerks. Be humble.
• Be a Problem Solver — Stay curious, find the root cause, work smart, keep improving.
• Trust the Process — Stay organized, stay teachable, put the business's needs above personal wants.
