# Senior Remodeler / Lead Carpenter — Kitchen, Bath & Whole-Home Renovation
**Company:** Make Ready Repairs LLC
**Location:** Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, TX — On the Road (residential and rental properties across DFW)
**Job Type:** Full-time (Monday-Friday)
**Pay:** Competitive hourly pay, based on experience and skill level

## About Us
**Make Ready Repairs LLC** provides make-ready, repair, and full renovation services for residential homes and rental properties across the DFW area. We are known for clean, professional work and reliable turnaround.
## About the Role
We are hiring a full-time **Senior Remodeler / Lead Carpenter** who can walk into a kitchen, bath, or whole-home renovation, read the scope, plan the sequence, and execute every trade involved — from demo through finish. This is a senior role for someone who has done this work for years and takes pride in the result.
You will sometimes lead 1-2 helpers and sometimes work solo — so you must be comfortable both running a small crew and handling an entire job by yourself.
We are looking for a true craftsman — someone whose tile lines are straight, whose cabinets sit level, whose trim has tight miters, and whose finished rooms look like a magazine photo, not a flip job.
## What You Will Do
– **Kitchen remodels:** demo, layout, cabinet install, countertop coordination, tile backsplash, plumbing fixture install (basic), trim out
– **Bathroom remodels:** tub/shower tile, waterproofing, vanity and toilet install, tile floors, trim and finish
– **Flooring:** install LVP, hardwood, and tile (no carpet) — including subfloor prep, transitions, and tile underlayment
– **Wall work:** frame, move, or remove non-load-bearing walls; create openings; drywall, tape, float, and texture-match to paint-ready
– **Cabinet install:** kitchen, bathroom, built-ins; doors, drawers, hardware
– **Trim and finish carpentry:** baseboards, crown, casing, doors, windows
– **Fence repair and install** as needed
– **Paint:** prep, drywall finish-out, full rooms, and final touch-ups
– **Lead helpers** when a crew is assigned; **work independently** when solo
– Final walk-through, punch-list, and quality checks
– Keep job sites clean, safe, and organized
## Requirements
– Must be **18 years or older**
– **5+ years professional remodeling, renovation, or finish-carpentry experience**
– Strong, hands-on skills across **framing, drywall, tile, flooring (LVP/hardwood/tile), cabinet install, trim, and paint**
– Comfortable both leading a small crew AND working solo
– Able to read a tape, square, and level — and measure twice, cut once
– Must own your **hand tools and basic power tools** (miter saw, drills, levels, etc.)
– Able to perform demolition, lift 50+ lbs, work on ladders, and kneel for tile work
– Must be reliable and show up on time every day
– **Valid driver’s license and reliable personal vehicle required**
– **Must pass a pre-employment drug screen** — drug-free workplace
– Must be authorized to work in the United States
## This Job Is Not For You If
– Your tile lines wander, your miters gap, or your cabinets sit out of level
– You leave a job before final walk-through and cleanup
– You can’t manage your own time or sequence the trades correctly
– You are not reliable or show up late
## Compensation & Growth
– Competitive hourly pay, based on experience and skill level
– Full-time, steady, year-round work
– Advancement opportunities for true craftsmen who consistently deliver clean, finished results
## Benefits
– **6 paid holidays per year** (New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas)
– Steady, consistent work
– Opportunities for advancement
– Professional development assistance
