$37/hr ($76,900/year) | $1,500 Bonus | Mon to Fri Only | No Weekends | Full Benefits | San Jose

Honey Homes is hiring experienced handymen in San Jose. Earn $37/hr with a $1,500 sign-on bonus, work Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5:00pm, and never take an on-call shift again.

Not Your Average Handyman Job

This is not a call-out gig. You become the personal handyman for the same 40 to 50 homes, visiting on a regular schedule, getting to know every home and every homeowner, and becoming the trusted advisor they turn to for anything about their house. No client hunting, no bidding, no invoicing. The relationships you build are the job, and our members notice: Honey Homes holds a 4.9 star Google rating.

There is real room to grow here. As we expand, handymen move into roles like field trainer, senior handyman, and beyond.
