About the Opportunity

Are you an experienced handyman who takes pride in quality work, customer satisfaction, and running your own projects from start to finish? First Coast Home Pros is seeking an Experienced Handyman to independently manage residential repair and installation projects. This is an autonomous role perfect for skilled craftspeople who want the freedom to build their reputation, set their own rates, and earn based on their expertise and efficiency.

You'll have a fully-stocked company van, the authority to quote projects accurately, and the responsibility to deliver exceptional work. No micromanagement, no bid caps—just accountability for quality and professionalism. Experienced, efficient handymen can earn substantially more than traditional hourly positions.

What You'll Do

• Manage Projects End-to-End: Quote, scope, execute, and complete repairs and installations independently

• Set Your Rates: Determine appropriate hourly labor rates for each project based on complexity, required skill, and materials

• Handle Estimates: Office provided phone-based estimates for straightforward jobs (ceiling fans, light fixtures, faucets, etc.) and you provide in-home estimates ($35 customer fee) for larger or more technical projects

• Purchase Materials: Source and purchase materials for jobs, which we pass along to customers at cost

• Deliver Quality Work: Execute a diverse range of repairs and installations including: 

  • Ceiling fan installation and replacement

  • Deck building and restoration

  • Recaulking and regrouting (bathrooms, kitchens, floors)

  • General home repairs (doors, trim, fixtures, hardware, etc.)

  • Tile work and tile repair

  • Drywall repair and finishing

  • Handyman solutions for various customer requests

• Build Customer Relationships: Communicate professionally, manage expectations, and ensure customer satisfaction on every project

• Manage Tools & Van: Maintain your assigned company van and tool inventory; specialty tools are incorporated into project quotes as needed

What We're Looking For

Required Experience & Qualifications:

• Minimum 5+ years of professional handyman or general contracting experience

• Proven ability to work independently, manage projects solo, and deliver high-quality work consistently

• Expertise in accurately quoting projects and performing all work types you take on (start to finish)

• Valid driver's license and clean driving record

• Ability to lift 50+ lbs regularly and perform physically demanding work

• Clean background check and pass drug screening

• Professional communication and customer service skills

• Knowledge of materials, costs, and supplier relationships for purchasing

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to adapt to unexpected job site challenges

• Willingness to learn new techniques and expand your skill set

Highly Valued:

• Experience running your own handyman business or side work

• Multiple trade skills (carpentry, tile, plumbing basics, HVAC fundamentals, etc.)

• Experience with customer estimates and pricing strategy

• Track record of customer satisfaction and repeat business

• Entrepreneurial mindset—someone who treats projects as their own business

• Experience managing budgets and material costs on projects

We Do NOT Handle:

• Electrical work (beyond switching out basic light fixtures)

• Plumbing work (beyond simple faucet/fixture replacement)

Why Join First Coast Home Pros?

Earn More: You earn 32% commission on all billed labor hours—this is how we pay, not an add-on. You control the billed hours for each project, so your earnings reflect your expertise and efficiency. If your commission earnings ever fall below $25/hour, you're guaranteed the minimum. But experienced, skilled handymen consistently earn significantly more than $25/hour through commission, rewarding quality work and customer satisfaction.

Autonomy & Control: You're in charge of the projects you take on and the hours you bill. No one second-guessing your estimates or dictating your approach. We trust you to work independently because you have the experience to back it up.

Tools & Equipment: We provide a fully-stocked company van with all necessary tools and equipment. Specialty tools for one-off projects are built into your quotes. You focus on delivering exceptional work—we handle logistics.

Variety: Every day brings different projects and challenges. No repetitive work—just diverse, interesting handyman and repair work.

Benefits Package:

• 2 weeks of paid time off

• 7 paid holidays annually

• 401(k) retirement plan

• Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and disability insurance

• Ongoing support and access to continuing education

Growth: Join an energetic, fast-growing company that values quality, reliability, and skilled craftsmanship. Opportunities to build your reputation and expand the services we offer.
