Mr. Handyman of Richmond is seeking experienced, motivated home improvement professionals for full-time, company‑employee roles. You will independently complete small to medium projects in a fast-paced team environment, backed by office support and a competitive benefits package.
Applicants must have 10+ years in carpentry/home improvement/general construction, own tools, a clean background, and a Virginia driver’s license. Strong work ethic and professional appearance are essential.
Our technicians are all company employees, not 1099 subs. Techs have a company van, support from the office staff, and great work-family balance.
Are you ready to work full-time and independently with clients to complete your projects, while still working as part of a high-performing team with support staff and great benefits?

You'll focus your time and energy on your current client, doing the hands-on work that you love. The office staff manages the nuisances for you: the marketing, scheduling, insurance, licensing, administrative paperwork, etc.
