• Strong attention to detail and pride in doing the job right the first time.
• Professional communication skills and the ability to build trust with homeowners.
• A positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to keep learning.
• Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
• Ability to successfully complete a background check and drug screening.
