About the role
Twelve months in, success looks like this: you're the technician our repeat customers ask for by name. Your jobs come back clean on quality checks, your reviews mention you personally, and you can walk into an unfamiliar problem — a door that won't close, a leak with no obvious source — diagnose it, explain the options in plain language, and fix it right the first time.
Responsibilities
- Complete a wide variety of residential repairs and maintenance: carpentry, drywall, painting, basic plumbing, basic electrical, fixture installation, and punch lists
- Diagnose problems on-site and explain options, costs, and timelines to homeowners in plain language
- Own the customer experience end to end — arrive on time, communicate proactively if anything changes, and confirm the customer is satisfied before you leave
- Keep job sites clean and treat every home with respect — shoe covers, drop cloths, full cleanup
- Represent the company professionally in appearance and conduct
- Flag additional repair or maintenance needs honestly — recommendations customers can trust, never upselling for its own sake
Requirements
- 3+ years of paid experience in handyman work, home repair, remodeling, or construction
- Proficiency across multiple trades: carpentry, drywall, painting, basic plumbing, and basic electrical
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
- Your own truck or van capable of hauling tools and materials
- Your own hand and power tools
- Able to pass a background check
- Clear, courteous communication — you're comfortable talking with homeowners, not just working around them
Qualifications
Nice to have:
- A trade license (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or general contractor)
- Experience with property maintenance or senior home safety modifications (grab bars, ramps, accessibility work)
- Comfort documenting jobs with photos and notes in a mobile app
Schedule and structure
Schedule and structure:
- We're flexible: full-time, part-time, or steady project work
- Open to hiring the right person as a W-2 employee or engaging them as a 1099 subcontractor (subcontractors carry their own general liability insurance)
