We are a licensed and insured residential remodeling company specializing in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, flooring, trim, painting, and general home improvements. Unlike many construction companies, we maintain a consistent workload and are typically booked 7+ months in advance.
We are not simply hiring for today's workload. As Maeko enters its fourth year in business with a backlog exceeding seven months, we are looking to invest in people who want to develop their skills, take on leadership responsibilities, help build future teams, and grow alongside the company.
What We Offer
- $30/hour starting pay
- Consistent full-time work year-round
- Mileage included in compensation
- Direct access to company leadership and mentorship
- Opportunity to learn multiple trades and expand your skillset
- Growth opportunities for individuals interested in becoming licensed, taking on leadership responsibilities, and growing with the company
What We're Looking For
- Strong work ethic and positive attitude
- Reliability and punctuality
- Attention to detail and pride in workmanship
- Ability to follow directions and project specifications
- Professional communication with clients and team members
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Problem-solving skills and jobsite awareness
- Commitment to quality and customer satisfaction
- Ability to thoroughly review written communication and project information before seeking clarification
- Maintaining a clean, organized work environment that reflects the level of care and respect we have for our customers and their homes
Who Will Succeed Here
We are looking for people who want more than just a paycheck. We are building a team of dependable professionals who want to grow with the company long-term. We invest in individuals who demonstrate trustworthiness, commitment, accountability, and a willingness to learn.
Opportunities for increased responsibility, leadership, and career growth are earned through consistent performance and dependability.
Company tools will be provided as needed; however, ownership of basic hand tools is preferred and viewed favorably.
Why Join Maeko?
Maeko Construction & Design is a husband-and-wife-owned remodeling company entering its fourth year in business with a strong reputation, a backlog exceeding seven months, and no shortage of work.
Co-owner Kyle brings more than a decade of hands-on construction experience and is passionate about teaching quality craftsmanship, building code requirements, carpentry, problem-solving, and the practical skills needed to succeed in the trades.
Co-owner Mae specializes in business growth, operations, project management, vendor relations, design, and client experience. For those interested in advancing their careers, she can provide guidance on licensing, insurance, marketing, and the business side of the construction industry.
Together, we create highly detailed, thoughtfully designed projects that are tailored to each client's vision rather than relying on cookie-cutter solutions. We believe in investing in people who are willing to learn, grow, and contribute to the long-term success of the company.
If you're looking for more than just a job and want the opportunity to develop both trade skills and business knowledge, Maeko offers a unique environment to do both.
