Job Description Job Description Mr. Handyman of Greater Peoria is hiring a Carpenter who wants W-2 stability instead of running a solo 1099 business.
If you are a finish carpenter who also handles related home repairs, and you are tired of finding your own work, driving all over, and doing your own billing, this role keeps you on local jobs in Greater Peoria while we handle scheduling, dispatch, and bookkeeping.
Pay
Weekly gross typically $800-$1,200+ depending on experience and performance. Pay is tied to completed work on local jobs-not long-distance travel between towns.
Schedule and location
Full-time, weekday-focused work in Greater Peoria, Illinois. We assign and route the work. You are not building a multi-county travel schedule.
What you will do
Finish carpentry: interior and exterior trim, casing, base, crown, and custom fit-up
Doors, hardware, locks, closers, and related adjustments
Shelving, built-ins, and punch-list carpentry
Drywall repair and texture matching on carpentry-related openings and patches
Light exterior carpentry: soffit, fascia, siding repairs, and fence board/post repairs
Support work that often rides with carpentry: painting touch-up, caulking, and basic fixture installs
Walk the job with the client, write a clear estimate, and complete the work with minimal disruption
Document photos and notes on an iPad / mobile device
Leave a clean, safe job site and communicate professionally with the client
What you need
8-10+ years of hands-on residential carpentry (light commercial a plus)
Strong finish skills; comfortable with doors, trim, and accurate measuring
Ability to produce accurate estimates and present them in the home
Your own carpenter tools
Valid driver's license and clean driving record
Ability to pass a background check and drug screen
Comfortable with mobile job documentation
How we work
W-2 employee - we handle scheduling, dispatch, and bookkeeping
Company provides a Logoed Uniform Shirt
You provide black or khaki work pants (Carhartt and similar are fine) and sturdy work shoes that protect your feet
No smoking, vaping, or tobacco in front of the client or in the van
We stand behind the work
Who does well here
Carpenters who take pride in tight joints and clean installs, treat clients with respect, and want steady local work instead of running their own company.
Apply today.
