Job description

Full-Time W-2 | Monday-Friday | $28-$35 Per Hour

Are you an experienced multi-skilled carpenter who enjoys residential repair and improvement work but is tired of chasing leads, preparing unpaid estimates, and managing every part of the business yourself?

Ace Handyman Services offers a better way to work.

We are seeking an experienced Multi-Skilled Carpenter to serve homeowners throughout Waukesha County and the Lake Country area.

This is a full-time, year-round W-2 position with consistent Monday-Friday hours and weekends off. We are looking for someone with strong carpentry skills who can also handle drywall, painting, minor plumbing and electrical, doors, trim, and a wide variety of general home repairs.

Our office handles marketing, incoming leads, scheduling, dispatching, and much of the administrative work so you can focus on solving problems, completing quality work, and taking care of customers.

Compensation

• $28-$35 per hour, based on experience, skill level, versatility, independence, productivity, and customer service
• Performance bonus opportunities
• Full-time, year-round W-2 employment
• Monday through Friday schedule
• Paid Time Off
• Company uniforms
• Office scheduling and administrative support
• Eligibility for a company-branded work vehicle after successfully completing the onboarding and introductory probationary period

What You’ll Do

Every day brings something different. Projects may include:

• Installing and repairing doors, windows, trim, and cabinetry
• Repairing drywall and completing interior finish work
• Repairing decks, railings, siding, soffit, and fascia
• Installing flooring, shelving, televisions, and household fixtures
• Completing bathroom and kitchen updates
• Replacing faucets, light fixtures, switches, outlets, ceiling fans, and similar items
• Performing punch-list repairs and general home-maintenance projects
• Diagnosing and completing a wide variety of residential repairs

You will work independently on most jobs while representing Ace Handyman Services professionally in our customers’ homes.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Evaluating projects and determining appropriate repair solutions
• Discussing repair options, expectations, and project details with homeowners
• Coordinating materials with the customer and office when necessary
• Keeping customers and the office informed throughout the project
• Documenting completed work, job notes, photographs, receipts, and materials
• Identifying additional repair needs and educating customers about possible solutions
• Collecting payment upon completion of most projects

Most jobs are completed in a single visit. Larger multi-day or multi-craftsman projects require close coordination with our office team and fellow craftsmen to manage scheduling, materials, communication, and project completion.

Success in this position means becoming a trusted professional our customers ask for by name- someone known for quality workmanship, dependability, integrity, and excellent communication.

Required Qualifications

• Five or more years of professional residential handyman, remodeling, carpentry, maintenance, or home-repair experience
• Ability to independently assess, plan, and complete a broad range of residential repairs
• Strong carpentry, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills
• Experience across multiple residential trades, including carpentry plus several areas such as drywall, painting, flooring, cabinetry, doors and windows, minor plumbing, minor electrical, decks, siding, and household installations
• Ability to determine practical and appropriate repair solutions in the field
• Excellent customer service and communication skills
• Comfortable discussing repair options and project details directly with homeowners
• Comfortable performing minor plumbing and electrical work that does not require a licensed trade professional
• Ability to document work and communicate with the office using a smartphone or tablet
• Comfortable collecting payment upon completion of most projects
• Reliable vehicle capable of safely transporting tools, ladders, and occasional job materials during the onboarding and probationary period
• Standard set of professional hand and power tools
• Valid driver’s license and an acceptable driving record
• Ability to lift at least 50 pounds and safely perform the physical requirements of residential repair work
• Ability to successfully complete a background check

This is not an entry-level maintenance position. Applicants must have professional experience and be capable of independently completing a variety of residential repair and improvement projects.

Preferred Qualifications

• Broad experience across multiple residential trades
• Strong finish-carpentry skills
• Experience working directly with homeowners
• Experience leading or coordinating residential projects
• Experience using ServiceTitan or similar field-service software
• Experience identifying additional repair opportunities and explaining available solutions
• OSHA, lead-safe renovation, or other construction-related certifications
