Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a problem solver who enjoys repair work and has the experience to walk into an unfamiliar home and figure out how to fix what's wrong.

You should be comfortable with jobs that may involve several different trades and skill sets. One day may involve replacing rotted fascia and repairing water damage; the next may involve replacing drywall, rebuilding damaged trim, repairing a post, or correcting framing identified in an inspection report.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in doing the job correctly, efficiently, and professionally, rather than simply making a problem look better temporarily.

What We Value

• Quality workmanship
• Attention to detail
• Reliability and punctuality
• Problem-solving ability
• Knowledge of residential construction
• Ability to work independently
• Professional communication
• Clean and organized work habits
• Pride in leaving every home better than you found it

• Ability to work from ladders and elevated surfaces.
• Ability to kneel, bend, reach, crawl, and work in confined spaces when necessary.
• Ability to perform physically demanding carpentry tasks throughout the workday.

Compensation

Compensation will be based on experience, skill level, and ability to independently complete residential repair projects.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced carpenter who enjoys the variety and problem-solving involved in residential repair work and wants to become a key member of a professional home-repair team.
