Shade Installer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Most people who buy a sunroom or a porch enclosure have no idea how it gets built. You're about to be the person who builds it — and gets paid better than most people expect for knowing how.

Sunspace by Deck and Shade Solutions installs Sunspace enclosures, sunrooms, and screen systems across northwest Ohio. Not a general contractor. One product line, done well.

John has built the business to where we have more work than the current crew can handle — and the only thing stopping growth is having a single lead installer for everything. That's the hire. You come in as an Installer, learn the system, and if you perform, you become the second lead running your own crew.

THE PATH

Installer: $25 - $35 hourly. You work alongside the lead, learn the Sunspace system, and build to the point where you can run a job without being walked through it.

WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

The crew works outdoors year-round in northwest Ohio. That means July heat with no shade and November cold on installs. The schedule doesn't stop because it's 35 degrees — Sunspace jobs run through winter. You'll carry aluminum framing and glass panels all day. You'll work off ladders. And precision matters on every cut — these are not rough-construction tolerances. A panel that's off by a quarter inch gets fixed before it goes in, or it comes back as a callback. Callbacks here are taken seriously.

The work happens in people's backyards, with the homeowner sometimes home. You're on their property for a full day, and you leave it cleaner than you found it. How you talk to them, whether you cleaned up — that's part of the job, not an afterthought. If that's a problem for you, the role isn't a fit. If that's already how you operate, keep reading.

WHO BELONGS HERE

We do what we say we're going to do. That means you show up when you said you would, you finish what you started, and if something goes wrong, you say something instead of hoping nobody notices. We've built our reputation on customers who say we were the best contractor they worked with — not the cheapest, not the fastest, but the one that actually followed through. That standard lives with whoever is on the job site.

We have fun working hard. The work is real, and the standards are real, but this is a small team that enjoys showing up. If you're the kind of person who brings negative energy onto a job site or counts down to the end of the day, that's going to stand out. The team is too small for that.
