Job description

$18–$28

Tear off stucco, EIFS, Hardie, and siding. Controlled demo that protects what stays while removing what goes. Strong backs, careful hands, and zero shortcuts.

Demo and removal at Christensen Stucco is controlled demolition — removing exterior systems without damaging the building envelope underneath. Every section removed tells a story about what went wrong.

7:00 AM

Safety Briefing

Dallas walks every demo job before tools come out. What's coming off, what's staying, what to watch for inside the walls. Safety glasses, gloves, and dust masks are mandatory.

7:30 AM

Protect What Stays

Mask windows and doors, lay ground cloths, protect landscaping. Demo creates a mess — Dallas expects the crew to contain it.

8:00 AM

Controlled Tear-Off

Remove stucco or EIFS in sections. Controlled cuts that minimize damage to the building paper and sheathing underneath. The goal is to expose the problem — not create new ones.

10:00 AM

Sheathing Assessment

As each section comes off, Dallas inspects the sheathing and framing. Every soft spot, every area of moisture damage gets marked. You learn to read the signs.

1:00 PM

Debris Removal

Load debris into the truck for disposal. Dallas keeps a clean job site — debris off the ground, paths clear, materials sorted. Homeowners notice.

3:00 PM

Final Inspection

Dallas walks the demo with the homeowner and explains what was found. Photos of all damage before any repair work begins. Transparency is how Dallas builds trust.

What We're Looking For

Dallas Hires for Character First. Skills Second.

Demo work is entry-accessible but physically demanding. Strong work ethic and a willingness to learn are the most important qualities.

Physical Fitness

Demo is hard physical work — swinging tools, carrying debris, working in all conditions. You need to be able to keep up.

Willingness to Learn

Dallas teaches as he works. If you pay attention on demo jobs you learn more about building construction than most people ever do.

Careful with What Stays

Uncontrolled demo damages windows, doors, and framing. You need to be able to be aggressive where it's needed and careful where it isn't.

Punctuality

Demo crews start early. Dallas values reliability above almost everything else.

Construction Interest

Demo is a great entry point into the trade. If you're genuinely interested in learning construction — this is where it starts.

Valid Driver's License

Preferred for job site travel.

Why Work Here

This Isn't Your Average Contractor Job.

Most contractor jobs mean working for whoever showed up today. At Christensen Stucco you work for Dallas — one owner, one crew, one standard. That means something.

$18–$28 / Hour

Paid based on your actual skill level. Dallas doesn't lowball good people.

No seasonal layoffs. Dallas keeps his crew working 12 months a year.

Learn From a Master

50 years of stucco knowledge. Most crews never get this kind of training.

Real Crew — No Subs

You're a Christensen crew member — not a day laborer. That's a different thing.

Quality Work You're Proud Of

Dallas doesn't cut corners. You'll build things that last 40 years and know it.

Direct Access to Dallas

No HR department. No middle management. You work directly with the owner.

From Dallas

Demo crew is where a lot of guys start with me. It's physical work, but if you pay attention you learn more about how buildings are built — and how they fail — than you could learn in a classroom. I've hired full-time stucco applicators who started on my demo crew. It's a real path.
