| Aspect | Independent Contractor Carpenter Side | Carpenter |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically requires a state license or certification, relevant experience | Requires a high school diploma, apprenticeship, and licensing |
| Work Environment | Self-employed, projects at various locations, flexible schedule | Employed by construction companies or contractors, fixed work sites |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Works independently or with clients, common in remodeling and custom projects | Works for firms or contractors, involved in residential, commercial, or industrial projects |
In summary, an Independent Contractor Carpenter Side operates independently with flexible schedules and client-based projects, while a Carpenter is typically employed by a company with a more structured work environment. Both roles require similar skills and certifications but differ mainly in employment status and work setup.

About the Role
As a contracted roofer with Inside Out Home Improvements LLC, you will perform roofing installations, tear‐offs, repairs, and related carpentry tasks as assigned through Work Orders. Each project includes a clearly defined scope, location, and compensation structure.
We work primarily on residential homes and expect contractors to deliver work that meets or exceeds industry standards, manufacturer specifications, and Michigan building codes.
Responsibilities
Complete roofing installations, tear‐offs, and repairs according to project specifications
Perform work in a professional, workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards
Follow all jobsite safety requirements and maintain a clean, safe work environment
Review and execute Work Orders before beginning any project
Communicate effectively with project managers regarding progress and needs
Correct any defective or non‐conforming work at your own expense
Provide your own tools, equipment, transportation, and protective gear
Maintain required insurance and provide proof upon request
Requirements
Proven experience in residential roofing (asphalt shingles required; metal or flat roofing is a plus)
Ability to perform full installations, not just repairs
Must operate as a true independent contractor—you control your methods, schedule, and labor
Must provide your own tools, equipment, and transportation
General Liability Insurance ($1M/$2M) required
Workers’ Compensation coverage or valid exemption
Valid driver’s license
Ability to work safely and efficiently
Must submit a W‐9 and Certificate of Insurance listing Inside Out Home Improvements LLC as certificate holder
Must adhere to non‐solicitation and confidentiality requirements outlined in the IC Agreement
Compensation
Compensation is defined per project and outlined in each Work Order. Pay structures may include:
Lump‐sum pricing
Per‐square or per‐unit pricing
Milestone‐based payouts
Payments are issued via ADP or approved alternative methods. No taxes are withheld.
What Makes This Opportunity Different
You choose your methods, schedule, and workflow
Consistent project opportunities with a reputable remodeling company
Clear scopes, fair pricing, and organized project management
No micromanagement—just expectations for quality and professionalism
Strong, long‐term contractor relationships
How to Apply
If you are a skilled roofer who takes pride in your work and prefers the freedom of independent contracting, we’d like to hear from you. Apply today with your experience, availability, and insurance details.
Inside Out Home Improvements LLC is seeking skilled, reliable 1099 Independent Contractor Roofers to support our residential remodeling and roofing operations. We specialize in high‐quality exterior and interior improvements under NAICS Code 236118 (Residential Remodeler), and we are expanding our network of professional trade partners for ongoing and upcoming projects.
This role is independent contractor work, not employment. Contractors who thrive with us are self‐motivated, quality‐driven, and committed to delivering professional craftsmanship on every project.
