Work 2-3 Days a Week. Build Great Spaces. Enjoy Flexibility.
Not looking for a 40-hour work week?
Whether you're semi-retired, self-employed, looking for supplemental income, or simply want more work-life balance, we'd love to meet you.
We're looking for an experienced Commercial Remodeler to join our team on a part-time schedule (2-3 days per week). You'll work on a variety of commercial projects that keep your skills sharp without requiring a full-time commitment.
If you take pride in quality craftsmanship, enjoy solving problems, sharing your knowledge with team members new to the profession, and appreciate a flexible schedule, this could be the perfect fit.
What You'll Work On
No two days are exactly alike. Projects may include:
  • Commercial remodeling
  • Interior renovations
  • Door and hardware installation
  • Window replacement
  • Finish carpentry and trim work
  • Drywall installation and repair
  • Metal stud framing
  • Acoustical ceilings
  • Flooring and miscellaneous finish work
  • Exterior building repairs
  • Additions and improvement projects

While we carefully plan our work schedules, priorities may shift based on customer needs and project timelines. If you enjoy variety and adapting to new challenges, you'll fit right in.
What We're Looking For
  • Experience in commercial or residential remodeling
  • Carpentry or construction background
  • Ability to work independently
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Pride in quality workmanship
  • Good communication and customer service skills
  • Valid driver's license with a good driving record
  • Ability to safely use common hand and power tools
Schedule
  • Part-time (typically 2-3 days per week)
  • Flexible scheduling whenever possible
  • Local work with some travel within an hour radius
  • Consistent work throughout the year
Why Join Our Team?
  • Flexible part-time schedule
  • Interesting commercial projects-no repetitive production work
  • Professional, respectful team environment
  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience
  • Modern tools and equipment
  • Opportunity to pick up additional hours when available
  • Be part of a company known for quality workmanship and strong customer relationships
This Role Is Perfect For
  • Experienced remodelers looking to slow down-not stop working
  • Retired or semi-retired carpenters
  • Skilled tradespeople wanting supplemental income
  • Self-employed contractors looking to fill open days
  • Craftsmen who enjoy quality work over production work

If you're looking for meaningful work, a flexible schedule, and a team that values craftsmanship, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today and let's build great things together-2 to 3 days at a time.
