About Honey Homes

Honey Homes gives homeowners a dedicated handyperson through a simple membership, so the work around their home actually gets done by someone they trust. We're now taking on the bigger jobs our members need: exterior repaints, dry rot repair and carpentry, decks, fences, bathroom refreshes with plumbing and electrical work, and more.

The role

We're growing our larger-project team in Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda and looking for skilled tradespeople to do the hands-on work on multi-day residential projects. A project lead scopes the job and sets the plan. You bring the carpentry, the electrical, and the plumbing and execute it to a high standard. The work is already sold and scheduled. No bidding, no invoicing, no chasing clients.

What you'll do

• Execute the scoped work on larger residential projects: demo, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall, paint, and cleanup

• Carpentry: dry rot repair, decks, fences, doors, trim, and finish work

• Electrical: fixtures, outlets, switches, ceiling fans, and small wiring tasks

• Plumbing: toilets, faucets, valves, minor pipe repair, and bathroom fixture swaps

• Painting and drywall: exterior and interior repaints, patching, and finishing

• Work from the project lead's scope and flag anything on site that doesn't match the plan

• Be the face of Honey Homes on site: clear communication, respect for the member's home, and a clean, professional job every day

• Work primarily in Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda, and flex to nearby East Bay projects and job types as the work demands

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of hands-on carpentry, electrical, and plumbing experience

• A true multi-trade generalist. You're strong in carpentry and can handle the electrical and plumbing on a project without calling in a specialist for routine work

• Self-sufficient on site. Once the scope is set you can work through it without hand-holding

• Flexibility. You're comfortable moving between job types and nearby areas week to week and see that as part of the job

• Strong customer skills. You'll be in members' homes for days at a time and they need to trust you

• Attention to detail: clean carpentry joints, tidy electrical, leak-free plumbing, professional finish work

• Valid driver's license, your own reliable truck or work vehicle, and your own standard tools

• Legal authorization to work in the US. This is a full-time W-2 role

You do not need a contractor's, electrical, or plumbing license. Permitted work is handled separately.

Pay, schedule, and benefits

• $36/hr ($75,000/year) plus equity in the business

• $1,000 sign-on bonus, paid after you complete training and remain onboard for 30 days

• Mileage reimbursement for driving between job sites

• Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm. No nights, weekends, or on-call

• 12 paid holidays plus 13 PTO/sick days

• 100% company-paid health, vision, and dental insurance

• 401(k), life insurance, FSA, and a company phone

Physical requirements

• Carry a 50-lb toolbox 40 feet and lift 50 lbs from floor to waist

• Climb a ladder and work at height

• Kneel, stand, and work overhead repeatedly

• Crawl through a crawlspace
