Job Description

About the Role:

Mr. Handyman of Wheaton is looking for a skilled and dependable Residential and Commercial Handyman to join our growing team in West Chicago, IL. This is a fantastic opportunity to do what you love every day — solving problems, completing quality repairs, and making a real difference for homeowners and businesses alike. If you take pride in your craft and enjoy variety in your work, we want to hear from you!

The Job
For residential work, the position is 10% sales, 90% execution.  We give you qualified appointments where customers need work done.  You will go on-site, provide an estimate and be prepared to do the work that day.  Our average close rate is near 80% across the team, meaning 4 of 5 appointments result in work then and there.  So we are clear, this is not hourly work.  Like an independant contractor, you quote the cost to perform the work and you get paid a commission on the work you perform.  Unlike an independant contractor, you are a W2 employee with access to benefits, 401K (with match) and more.

We provide:
Work van you can take home.  We provide routine maintenance.
Credit card for gas and materials
Job site and Auto insurance
Back end office support and scheduling 
National Presence

Responsibilities:

• Diagnose maintenance issues and recommend effective, cost-efficient solutions to clients
• Perform a wide range of residential and commercial repair, maintenance, and improvement tasks
• Complete carpentry, drywall, painting, caulking, and finish work for homes and businesses
• Handle minor plumbing and electrical repairs, fixture installations, and replacements
• Install doors, windows, trim, shelving, and other interior and exterior components
• Communicate professionally with customers before, during, and after each job
• Maintain a clean, organized work area and ensure job sites are left in excellent condition

Requirements:

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in general handyman, maintenance, or construction work
• Proficiency in carpentry, drywall repair, painting, and basic plumbing and electrical tasks
• Comfortable with technology (we use iPads in the field)
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively across multiple job sites
• Strong customer service skills with a professional, friendly demeanor
• Valid driver's license and good driving history
• Own professional hand and power tools required for the trade
• Ability to pass a background check and drug screening
