ABOUT THE COMPANY

Staffed with over 20 craftsmen and backed by the national Ace Hardware brand, we are a locally owned company with a proven track record of success, profitability, and taking care of our people.

POSITION SUMMARY

As the Master Craftsman at Ace Handyman Services, you are the best of the best — the go-to expert our clients trust for their biggest, most challenging projects. These key leadership roles are responsible for completing complex, cross-trade jobs including larger remodels, setting the highest standard of quality, professionalism, and customer care. This role requires exceptional technical expertise across all major trades, the ability to mentor and guide fellow craftsmen, and outstanding problem-solving, adaptability, and communication skills. More than a skilled tradesperson, a Master Craftsman embodies leadership — fostering trust, maintaining efficiency, and representing the excellence of our brand in every interaction.

Assess challenging home projects and develop accurate solutions, work plans, and estimates. Use your expertise to set clear expectations and ensure success from start to finish.

3. Run the Jobsite
Self-manage your projects, keeping everything on schedule, safe, and running smoothly. Lead others on the jobsite with confidence, providing direction and guidance when needed.

4. Be the Brand Expert
Represent Ace Handyman Services with professionalism, integrity, and consistency. Show others what "done right" looks like by modeling best practices and high standards.

5. Delight Customers
Serve as the main point of contact for clients during projects. Communicate clearly and kindly, making sure every customer feels respected, informed, and thrilled with the final result.

6. Mentor & Support Others
Share your knowledge by coaching and training fellow craftsmen. Help build a positive, supportive, high-performing team culture.

7. Take Care of Tools & Resources
Use and maintain professional-grade tools with pride. Make smart use of materials and resources to keep projects efficient and cost-effective.

8. Stay Organized
Keep track of daily progress, materials, and time. Ensure everything is documented so projects are smooth and transparent.
