Homejoy Handyman*
Home Heroes Needed

 * handywomen too, if able to complete the work!

We are seeking 3 main categories:

  1. Self employed handyman / handyperson who wants more job assignments, or contractor with a very small team. 
  2. Retirees with experience (example: Retired Plumber or retired electrician) for occasional extra money, on frankly mostly smaller jobs, and optionally with an apprentice who's physically able to carry things & help. If you have video-chat, we may also have tele-work (video advice to homeowners) consulting for you.
  3. Trainees / Apprentices - to help on larger jobs or learn from an expert; no experience is required but physical capabilities such as being able to lift 50 lbs, use a ladder, and safe use of power tools is required. Bonus if you're good with legos - we get client projects assembling furniture, building a doghouse, etc.

 

Our primary target marketing is for smaller odd-job & home maintenance projects.

 

 

Do you love a challenge and take pride in a job well done? 

Are you a master of fixing, assembling, and maintaining?

If so, Homejoy Handyman wants you!

Homejoy is looking for a skilled and reliable Handyman to join our growing team. You'll be the hero of homes in the Charleston area, tackling a variety of tasks for our luxury and upper-middle-class homeowner clientele, as well as some small businesses. We may also have similar work for other brands, such as occasional in-home senior care needs.

What's Required? 

  • Solve a wide range of maintenance and repair requests: think leaky faucets, creaky doors, furniture assembly, and more!
  • Utilize your carpentry, plumbing, electrical (basic), and painting skills (and more!) to tackle projects efficiently and safely. Sheetrock repair, paint touchup, broken drawer slides will be daily needs.
  • Maintain a professional and courteous demeanor while working in luxury to middle class homes. Small business facilities maintenance is not a target of ours, but may occur on occasion.
  • Communicate clearly with homeowners and ensure their complete satisfaction, including any risks.
  • Follow all safety protocols and maintain a clean and organized work area.
  • Honesty, clear communication, can-do attitude. Treat the client as if they were your mom.
  • Typical contractor tools. Specialized tools are not required generally, but on rare occasion may need to be rented.
  • A vehicle that is not embarassing to the neighborhood - appearances matter. Example a pickup truck or van suitable for hauling basics (think replacing a chandelier or door, hanging a TV).

Why Homejoy?

  • Competitive pay: $38 - $62+ per hour based on experience, area, overrides on referrals you've made. Apprentices start from $18/hour.
  • Be your own boss - flexible schedule you set. You'll have your own scheduler.
  • Opportunity to work in beautiful homes, often inside air conditioning (a luxury in August!) for many projects, but not all.
  • Varied and challenging work environment, no two days are the same!
  • Be part of a supportive and growing team.
  • Opportunity to build a team and/or earn overrides and/or referral income for other home services (example: earn on-going referral revenue for maid / cleaning, lawn care - and they'll also sell for you)

Do you have what it takes?

  • Minimum 2 years of experience in handyman services or related field (for primary handyman "account owner").
  • Strong carpentry, plumbing (basic), electrical (basic), and painting skills. We need handy all-rounders who know a lot about home improvement & home repair, including when to refer the task to a specialist, and / or when licensed pros with separate insurance is required (example: electrical junction box work).
  • A keen eye for detail and a commitment to quality work.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and ability to pass a basic background check.
  • Must be self-motivated, organized, and able to work independently.

BONUS OPPORTUNITIES:

  • Earn more with our PRO Handyman Status by adding vehicle branding! Get higher payouts, job / client priority assignment choices, increased backend support and more earning potential.
  • Earn bonus money for 5 star reviews & happy clients!
  • Earn on-going passive income for referring other home services.
