Job description

Own the Front End. Close the Work. Protect the Margin.

In remodeling, everything starts with the estimate — scope gaps, missed details, and margin issues all begin here.

We’re looking for a senior-level Remodel Estimator who can:

• Build clean, detailed scopes
• Price work accurately and confidently
• Close projects with homeowners
• Protect margin from the first conversation

This is not a support role.

This is a high-ownership position responsible for both estimating and sales performance.

The Role

As a Remodel Estimator, you own the full front-end of residential and commercial remodel projects — from first site visit to signed contract.

You Ensure

• Complete, buildable scope
• Accurate, profitable pricing
• Clear, confident client communication
• Clean, no-surprises handoff to production

You set the standard before the job ever starts.

What You’ll Own

• Scope, estimate, and close residential and commercial remodel projects
• Conduct site visits and build detailed, line-item estimates (labor, materials, subcontractors)
• Define complete scopes and align expectations with production
• Present proposals, communicate clearly, and close work
• Price projects to protect margin and prevent change orders
• Deliver clean handoffs and support scope alignment during production
• Maintain consistent pipeline activity and follow-up on qualified opportunities

You are responsible for both winning the work and setting it up to succeed.

What Success Looks Like

• Jobs run without scope gaps, confusion, or rework from production
• Margins are protected and predictable
• Close rates are consistent on qualified opportunities
• Production trusts your estimates without second-guessing

You don’t just write estimates — you control outcomes.

What You Bring

Required

• 5+ years estimating residential remodels
• Experience building $20,000 – $150,000 kitchen and bath estimates
• Proven ability to create detailed, line-item proposals
• Strong understanding of labor burden and margin structure
• Ability to lead client conversations and close work
• Strong organization and documentation discipline

Who This Is NOT For

• You rely on rough numbers instead of detailed scopes
• You avoid client interaction or closing work
• You expect production to fix estimating mistakes
• You are not comfortable being accountable for margin

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary + Performance Bonus
• Bonus tied to volume, margin, and accuracy

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, Vision
• 401(k)
• Flexible Time Off
