Skilled Contractor available part time: $35/hr, 8hr min. charge.

Are you looking for someone to do some minor fixes or improvements before you sell? Or maybe you like to spruce up your new home before you move in.

Consider my Ad:

I'm a skilled, reliable, mature, semi-retired Carpenter/Contractor/Renovator/Handyman/Fixer currently available for 2-3 days a week (16-24hrs/week) for small to medium sized jobs with a homeowners or small business owners.

I'm available for a part time or term position with a small *ESTABLISHED* owner/operator renovation company to help that company catch up on any backlogged work, while they look for a suitable full-time replacement.

I would also consider a part time/term position with an *ESTABLISHED* home building, or rental company as a Service Manager, or as a Building Maintenance Manager in a medium to large apartment/condominium/office or shopping complex.

****Fly-by-night, minimum effort/minimum standard operators/operations need not respond. **** I'm not a 'Just get it done as quickly and as cheaply as you can and get out' kind of guy, so don't bother responding if you just looking for a fast, sloppy fix.

I have over 40 years experience in carpentry, residential and small commercial property renovations, flood/fire damage remediation and repair, interior/exterior development, as well as tiny home/fishing shanty/micro cabin construction, renovations, repair, and maintenance.

I have personally gutted and rebuilt six of my own residences. That includes both when married to an Interior Designer and having to live up to her exalted standards, expectations and demands, as well as my own homes.

I have two different trucks and several trailers to use depending on the weight/size/amount of the building material needed, and an over-abundance of hand, power, and stationary tools ready for use in any residential/small commercial construction/property maintenance demand depending on the size of the project.

My experience includes, but certainly is not limited to:
-All carpentry from cribbing and framing right up to fine finishing and cabinet installations, door, window and skylight installation and replacement, baseboard and trim installation and replacement, feature walls, hardwood and laminate floors, wainscoting, stairs, rails, sunrooms, decks, gazebos, sheds, and fences.
-All drywall work including boarding, mud, taping, finishing and stipple/knock down ceilings
-All interior and exterior painting
-All tiling including floor, ceiling and wall repairs and installation
-Light duty electrical installation, outlet, switch and fixture repair, exchange, and remediation.
-Light plumbing and fixture repair, exchange, removal, and remediation.
-Complete bathroom and kitchen renovation.
-Complete basement development.
-Extensive Landscaping and Hardscaping including exposed aggregate walkways, patios, retaining walls and planters, and rock ponds with waterfalls or interior and exterior water walls.

***I am available ONLY as a day laborer with an hourly rate of $35/hr.***

My minimum callout charge is one day/eight hours ($35/hr x 8 hours =$280.00) which is payable at the end of each day. Once trust/faith/ability to pay is established, we can consider a more standard weekly or bi-weekly payment schedule.

Once I have a general scope on the job/tasks on hand, I'll give a rough guestimate on how many days each particular task will take. Material costs will be dependent on your choices.

For small business/contracting/maintenance companies looking for part time or a term position employee: I'm available 2-3 days a week (16-24hrs a week) at an agreed-upon wage until we can each determine if I'd be a good fit for your position, or until you find a permanent replacement.

If we agree it’s a good fit, we work well together, I meet or exceed your standards and I prove myself able to make a significant contribution to your company, we can revisit the terms and hours after a review.

I generally book about two weeks in advance, so please don’t ask me to start tomorrow, or come in immediately. It isn’t fair to the people or project I’m currently working on. You wouldn’t want it done to you, so don’t expect me to do it to them.

Thank you for considering my ad.
