Lead Carpenter

Rise Up Renovations | Lee's Summit, MO Full-time | $28 to $34 per hour, based on experience

Craftsmanship is not a buzzword here. It's the job.

Rise Up Renovations is a design-build remodeling company in our fifth year, serving Lee's Summit and the Kansas City metro. We remodel kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, and we do it well enough that every one of our Google reviews is 5 stars, and we back our work with a 3-year workmanship warranty.

This role is a fast track to running your own projects. We are growing, our schedule is full of signed work, and we need a remodel specialist ready to prove they can lead. Show us you can own your scope, hold our quality standard, and communicate like a pro, and you will be leading jobs, not just working them. We promote on what you prove, not how long you've waited.

Who we are

Four values run this company, and they are not wall art:

  • Extreme ownership. When something is off, we own it and fix it.
  • Complete transparency. With clients and with each other, even when it's uncomfortable.
  • Craftsmanship excellence. We sweat the details other companies skip.
  • Client-centered service. We work in people's homes and treat both with respect.

If that list made you roll your eyes, we're not your company. If it made you nod, keep reading.

The work

You'll do hands-on production across active remodels: demo, framing, drywall, trim, installs, and punch lists. You'll read plans and build to them without hand-holding, keep sites clean and client-ready every day, flag problems early instead of burying them, and work directly with our Field Lead and Project Manager.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of residential remodeling experience; you can walk onto a job at any phase and be useful
  • The judgment to work independently and the humility to ask when you're not sure
  • Reliable and on time every day, with a valid driver's license and your own basic hand tools

Big bonuses (tell us if this is you): finish carpentry, tile setting, or experience leading a crew. Add photos of your finished work!

Pay and benefits

  • $28 to $34 per hour based on experience and demonstrated skill
  • 10 days of paid time off and 7 paid holidays
  • Performance bonus potential: we share the win when jobs beat budget
  • A real growth path with defined milestones

Pay: $28.00 - $34.00 per hour

Benefits

  • Opportunities for advancement
  • Paid time off

Application Question(s):

  • What are the top mistakes you notice when you walk through another remodeler's work?
  • Are you willing to participate in a paid interview so that we can assess your skills?
  • Do you have

a) finish carpentry experience b) tile setting experience c) both d) neither

Experience

  • Residential Remodeling: 3 years (Required)

License/Certification:

  • driver's license (Required)

Work Location: In person
