Not Ready to Hang Up the Tool Belt Yet?
Are you retired or semi-retired and looking for part-time work (up to 20 hours per week), flexible hours, or just something to keep you busy a few days a week?
Maybe you’re a seasoned carpenter or renovation professional who still enjoys the work — just without the long days, heavy production schedules, or large-scale projects.
Do you take pride in the little details? Love solving small problems? Enjoy making customers happy and leaving a home better than you found it?
If that sounds like you, Ackard may have the perfect fit.
We’re looking for a reliable, detail-oriented QC / Warranty Handyman to help complete small warranty repairs and touch-ups in our completed renovation projects. Most service calls are under an hour and involve minor repairs like caulking, drywall touch-ups, trim adjustments, hardware tightening, paint fixes, and other finishing details.
This is a great role for someone who:
- Enjoys working independently
- Takes pride in quality craftsmanship
- Likes variety throughout the day
- Appreciates flexible, lower-stress work
- Still wants to stay active in the industry without the demands of full-scale construction work
And let’s be honest — there’s something satisfying about being the person who makes the final little annoyances disappear.
What You’ll Do
As a QC / Warranty Handyman at Ackard, you’ll play an important role in maintaining the quality and reputation of our work after project completion. You’ll handle minor warranty repairs, touch-ups, and finishing deficiencies identified during quality control walkthroughs or homeowner service requests.
This role is focused on small, detail-oriented service work rather than large renovation projects. Most tasks are short-duration jobs that require strong problem-solving skills, professionalism, and attention to detail while working in occupied homes.

- Ensuring all repairs are completed cleanly, efficiently, and to Ackard quality standards
- Communicating professionally with homeowners while working in occupied spaces
- Maintaining accurate daily logs and updates using Buildertrend software
- Keeping company vehicles, tools, and work areas clean and organized
- Escalating larger deficiencies or concerns to management when required

- Experience in residential construction, finishing carpentry, handyman services, or warranty work

- Use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as required
- Regular use of power tools, hand tools, ladders, scaffolding, and other construction equipment is required.
