Compensation based on efficiency. We are a team and will grow together.

Job description - While materials are first priority, there could be additional manual labor on the job site. This is optional and if material acquisition fills part time hours, that is something we can work with. Examples of manual labor could be: misc small works, shoe molding and knob install, insulating small areas, small sheetrock patches, knowledge of small scale vent work a plus. Own personal hand tools a plus. Candidate must be willing to climb 12 ft ladders.
