Job description

Seeking a skilled remodeling carpenter to improve and maintain quality rental properties and help position us to purchase more units to grow the portfolio.

Responsibilities

• Complete remodels (inside & out). Most of our work is detail-oriented. As the Lead Carpenter, you’ll be responsible for supervising and coordinating the subcontractors and any other service folks.
• Maintain our existing tenants. Service calls, grounds work, and whatever else needs doing.
• Field leads for prospective tenants, show apartments, and deliver leases.

Benefits

• Competitive pay, with vacation time.
• The work we do is almost always doing it the “right way”. We are not band-aiding or polishing turds. We want to feel proud of what we’ve done.
• Most of your work is either downtown Buffalo or the Kenmore area.
• Autonomy—Answer only to the owner. Work mostly by yourself.
• We want you to be part of the family. We are a small team, all working together to accomplish the same job.

Qualifications

• You should be a carpenter because you are proud of the work you do, not strictly for the paycheck.
• Have experience installing cabinets, doors, tile, basic plumbing, and basic electrical. Know how to work a break as well as a pocket-hole jig. Minimum four years of experience doing complete home remodels. Ideally, you understand how a house actually works—some building science—the envelope.
• You should have the basic tools needed to do the job, along with a truck or trailer to carry them
• Be at least a little bit charming and fun to work with, because part of your job is keeping the tenants happy.
• It would be great if you knew how to work a computer so you could leave notes on a tenant, vendor, or subcontractor—or edit a lease.
