Job description

About Us

J. Blanton is one of the fastest-growing residential home service companies in the country, driven by our dedication to excellence and commitment to customer satisfaction.

Our mission is to become the largest and most respected home service provider within the next 10 years, targeting $500 million in company value.

As part of this growth, we’ve launched a fast-expanding shower remodel division focused on high-quality, design-driven bathroom transformations.

We are currently a $4 million division with a goal to reach $10 million a year.

We are a rare company in the industry where every team member—including installers—is a W-2 employee. We do not rely on subcontractors, which allows us to maintain tighter quality control, better training, and a more consistent customer experience. We are also one of the only bathroom remodel companies in the Chicagoland area with a full plumbing license, giving us a major advantage in high-rise condo projects where licensed plumbing is required.

In addition, we offer proprietary products that are unique to the Chicagoland market, creating meaningful differentiation from traditional remodeling companies.

By combining highly trained in-house installation teams, strict quality standards, and exclusive materials, our mission is to deliver a superior remodeling experience to as many homeowners as possible—and become the market leader in our category.

This is a critical role within our shower remodeling division. The Install Lead is responsible for executing installations at the highest level of quality while troubleshooting challenges independently and ensuring projects are completed efficiently and professionally.

This role requires strong autonomy, extensive plumbing knowledge (water lines, valves, drainage), and exceptional attention to detail.

We are looking for a skilled and versatile Bathroom Remodeling Installer with Extensive Plumbing Experience to join our growing team. This position is ideal for someone with a solid background in plumbing and skilled in installing various shower wall systems and drywall repairs.
