Seasoned Residential Handyman - Keep Working the Trade
About the role
Mr. Handyman of Northern Virginia is looking for a seasoned residential handyman who would rather pick up a tool than sit behind a desk filling out paperwork all day. You're not being hired to manage a crew. You're not spending your day chasing jobs or writing reports. You're here to work. Every day brings something different. One house might need trim and drywall work. The next might have a door that needs fixing a deck that needs attention or a list of repairs that's been sitting around too long. You use your experience. You solve the problem. You get it done right.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll handle a variety of residential repairs and improvements including:
- Finish carpentry and trim work
- Drywall repair and painting
- Door and window repairs
- Light plumbing
- Light electrical
- Flooring and tile repairs
- Deck fence and exterior repairs
- Small remodeling projects
- General home repairs and punch-list work
No two days are exactly the same. That's part of the fun.
What We're Looking For
You're probably a good fit if you:
- Have 20+ years of hands-on experience in construction handyman work or the skilled trades
- Have strong carpentry and remodeling skills
- Can handle several trades without needing someone standing over you
- Know how to troubleshoot and figure things out
- Take pride in doing clean quality work
- Know how to treat customers with respect
- Show up on time and do what you say you'll do
- Have a valid driver's license
- Have your everyday hand tools
If you've been the person friends neighbors and customers call when something needs fixing you already know what we're looking for.
Why This Job Works
We handle the stuff that takes you away from the work. The office handles the phones scheduling customers paperwork and calendar. You handle the work. You get a company van and fuel card. You get a steady pipeline of residential work. You get customers who are already scheduled. And you get to spend your day doing what you've been doing for decades.
Benefits
- Company van + fuel card
- Monday–Friday day shift plus one Saturday a month
- Steady year-round work
- $25–$45+ per hour depending on experience
- Bonus opportunities + customer tips
- Medical dental + vision
- Paid vacation + holidays
- 401(k)

Just good honest work with a team that respects what you know. Bring your experience. Bring your tools. We'll take care of the rest.
