Run Your Own Jobs. Leave the Business Headaches Behind. Build Something Bigger.

Are you an experienced handyman or residential contractor who's great at the work but tired of running every aspect of your own business?

Maybe you've spent years building your own client base, estimating jobs, managing schedules, chasing payments, and handling everything that comes with being self-employed. You enjoy the craftsmanship and independence, but you'd welcome the opportunity to focus more on the work itself.

Four Tiers Contracting is looking for an experienced, self-sufficient Handyman / Independent Contractor to take ownership of residential handyman and remodeling projects throughout the Greater Seattle area.

This opportunity is particularly well suited to someone who currently operates a small handyman or contracting business, or has previously worked independently and knows how to manage a project from the initial assessment through to completion.

You'll initially work with us as a 1099 independent contractor, with compensation agreed upon for each project. For the right person, there's an opportunity to develop a long-term working relationship, potentially transitioning into a permanent position or a broader leadership role as the company grows.
