Handyman / Home Remodeling Estimator

About the role

We’re looking for an experienced tradesman to help us quote handyman / remodeling jobs and keep our techs in the field. You’d meet homeowners, scope the work, price it fairly, and help us win the right jobs, especially aging-in-place and home safety work. This is a good fit for someone who knows houses, knows people, and wants a less physical role without leaving the industry.

Responsibilities

• Protect technician utilization by keeping skilled techs in the field doing billable work instead of running estimates.
• Improve estimate speed and consistency by pricing most jobs on site and getting every customer a clear next step within 24 hours.
• Protect margin by reducing the most expensive estimating mistake in this business: underestimating labor time.
• Create clean, schedulable, executable jobs by producing scopes, notes, photos, measurements, and handoff details the office and field team can actually use.
• Build accurate scopes of work, including labor, materials, risk points, and job conditions that could affect price or timeline.
• Present fair, professional pricing without pressure, gimmicks, or hard-selling.
• Document every visit by gathering photos, measurements, notes, scope details, material assumptions, and scheduling implications so the office and field team know exactly what was sold and how the work should be scheduled and executed.
• Use Housecall Pro to build and send estimates.
• Quote simpler jobs independently. On more complex scopes, especially early on, collaborate with a technician until you have proven judgment.
• Protect the company from bad jobs by refusing unsafe, poor-fit, or low-standard work.
• Help improve the estimating process over time so the business gets faster, sharper, and more consistent.
• You are excellent with people and can make homeowners feel comfortable quickly, especially older adults and homeowners who may feel vulnerable, cautious, or unsure.
• You can communicate clearly in person and in writing.
• You have strong residential trade knowledge and can talk intelligently about what a job involves.
• You have strong judgment around labor time and can think through what a job will actually take.
• You are comfortable using technology in the field.
• You are reliable, professional, and able to work independently without constant oversight.
• You are willing to own the result. Once trained, you are expected to estimate jobs without creating bottlenecks.
• You have deep hands-on experience in handyman work, remodeling, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, or another residential trade.
• You have experience pricing jobs in customers’ homes.
• You have experience working with older adults or making home modifications for aging in place.
• You have experience using Housecall Pro, CompanyCam, or similar field-service tools.
• You are comfortable using AI tools to pressure-test scope, materials, and estimating assumptions.
