• Remodel bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and other residential spaces.
• Install tile, flooring, drywall, and cabinetry.
• Perform drywall installation, patching, finishing, and minor painting preparation.

• Strong experience in residential remodeling and finish carpentry.
• Working knowledge of basic plumbing and electrical repairs.
• Ability to independently complete projects and solve problems in the field.

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.
• Professional appearance and good customer-service skills.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.

What We're Looking For

We are especially interested in a well-rounded remodeler who can walk into a bathroom, kitchen, basement, or general home repair project and confidently handle most aspects of the work. You do not need to be a licensed electrician or plumber, but you should have practical experience with common residential plumbing and electrical tasks that fall within the legally permitted scope of the position.

The right person will be dependable, honest, organized, and capable of working independently without constant supervision. We value quality over rushing through jobs and want someone who takes pride in leaving behind clean, professional work.

What We Offer

• Consistent residential remodeling and repair work.
• Variety of projects and opportunities to use multiple skills.
• Support from an established and growing home-services company.
• Professional work environment focused on quality and customer satisfaction.
• Competitive compensation based on experience and capabilities.

Job Type: Full-time

Experience: Residential remodeling or carpentry experience strongly preferred.
