Join the Most Trusted Handyman Company on the Outer Banks.

At Ace Handyman Services Outer Banks, we believe our work is about more than fixing homes—it's about serving people. Every repair, installation, and conversation is an opportunity to earn trust and make a lasting impact.

Our local mission is simple: To glorify God by serving our customers with exceptional craftsmanship and peace of mind in every relationship.

We're looking for an experienced craftsman who shares our commitment to excellence and takes pride in serving others. These aren't just words on a wall—they're the standards that guide how we serve our customers and work together as a team.

Conscientiousness – We pay attention to the details, take ownership of our work, and leave every job better than we found it.

Caring – We genuinely care about our customers, our teammates, and the communities we serve.

If these values describe who you are—not just how you work—you'll fit in well here.

We handle the scheduling, estimating, customer acquisition, and office support so you can focus on what you do best: delivering exceptional craftsmanship to homeowners throughout Kitty Hawk and the Outer Banks.

This is a year-round, full-time position that offers the stability of steady work in a coastal community where seasonal fluctuations often affect the construction trades. Backed by the trusted Ace brand and supported by a locally owned team, you'll enjoy consistent work, competitive pay, and the opportunity to build a long-term career with a company that values both excellence and character.

What Success Looks Like

On a day-to-day basis, you will travel to residential job sites across the Outer Banks, servicing Kitty Hawk, Duck, Southern Shores, Currituck, Corolla, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, and Manteo. No two days are exactly alike. You'll tackle a variety of residential repair and improvement projects ranging from small repairs to larger multi-day carpentry and restoration projects. You will act as a trusted advisor to homeowners, discussing their needs, outlining the work, and completing jobs efficiently.

Over time, success in this role means building lasting relationships with local clients who specifically request you for their next project. You will help maintain our reputation for reliability, cleanliness, and exceptional craftsmanship, helping our locally owned branch grow while developing your own multi-trade expertise.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Perform a wide variety of residential repairs, maintenance, and improvement projects with a focus on quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
• Install and repair interior and exterior doors, windows, trim, and other finish carpentry elements.
• Diagnose and complete structural and cosmetic wood rot repairs using proper building practices.

• Troubleshoot issues in the field, identify the root cause, and communicate repair options clearly and professionally with homeowners.
• Work independently while managing your schedule, materials, and job progress efficiently.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe jobsite while treating every customer's home with respect.
• Document work performed, communicate job updates, and complete photos, notes, and material purchases using our easy-to-use mobile systems.
