Handyman/skilled trades

This is not a “job posting” I’m genuinely asking the community for help. I work with a medium sized exterior restoration and remodeling company in the area, and our existing handyman/estimator recently handled a couple of jobs particularly poorly, in terms of customer communication and attitude, so we’re ending that relationship. We need to find a new partner asap. We have a lot of work in the hopper.

We need someone of integrity, able to handle bidding a variety of exterior projects, as well as bidding AND execution on smaller jobs, or jobs outside our wheelhouse. I’ll give you the basic requirements for what I need and see if any of y’all have suggestions or referrals for me:

-fluent English
-positive attitude
-reliable
-on site bidding
-don’t need license or insurance as we carry them, but it sure helps you stand out as a candidate
-Trades: Fences, Decks, minor low voltage electrical work, landscaping, awnings/pergolas, masonry, general exterior repairs, drywall, finishing work, minor plumbing repairs, punch list
-contract work- not hourly

The main thing we need is someone who can confidently go out and bid projects of low to moderate complexity, and collaborate with our project manager to produce a bid we can stand by, at the first visit to the home, not the next day or this evening. Something like “let me head out to the truck for a few minutes to crunch some numbers, I’ll ring the doorbell when I’m all finished, and we can go over some options for you”

While the bidding will include all exterior trades, we’d only need our new man to actually execute on a fraction of the projects. Generally the smaller jobs, and only within the trades I listed above. We have crews for all the big stuff.

Pay is negotiable but commitment to reliability, accountability , and customer service is not.

DM’s open. Thank you in advance.
