Remodeling & Renovation Technician / Make-Ready (Full-Time, W-2)
Company: Make Ready Repairs LLC
Location: Lawton, OK — In Person (rental homes across Lawton and surrounding area)
Job Type: Full-time (Monday–Friday)
Pay: Based on experience and skill
About Us
Make Ready Repairs LLC renovates, repairs, and maintains single-family rental homes. We are expanding our operations in Lawton, OK, and are known for clean, professional work and reliable turnaround.
About the Role
We are hiring a full-time Remodeling & Renovation Technician to take care of our rental homes in the Lawton area — full remodels and renovations, make-ready turns, trashouts, and routine maintenance. This is a heavy, hands-on, independent role for a skilled all-arounder who can run a project from demolition to finished, rent-ready home.
This is not light handyman work. We need someone who can gut a kitchen or bath and rebuild it, install flooring and tile, hang and finish drywall, haul out debris, pull a trailer to the landfill, and turn a beat-up house into a clean rental. No hand-holding — you'll walk into a property, see what it needs, and get it done.
What You Will Do
- Remodeling & renovation: kitchens, baths, full-room remodels — flooring (LVP/tile/laminate), cabinets, countertops, fixtures, trim, and finish work
- Demolition & trashouts: clear out junk, debris, and old materials; gut rooms down to studs when needed
- Hauling: load debris, pull a trailer, and make landfill/dump runs
- Make-ready turns: patch and paint, repair flooring, replace fixtures, punch-list, and final rent-ready prep
- Routine maintenance: plumbing, basic electrical, doors, locks, windows, appliances, and general repairs
- Drywall hang, patch, tape, float, and texture
- Diagnose what a house needs and complete the work efficiently and correctly
- Pick up materials from suppliers (Home Depot, Lowe's, local supply)
- Document before/after photos and report status on each property
- Keep job sites clean and organized
Requirements
- Must be 18 years or older
- 3+ years of hands-on remodeling/renovation experience — kitchens, baths, flooring, drywall, finish work
- Strong across multiple trades: carpentry, flooring/tile, drywall, paint, basic plumbing and electrical
- Experience with demolition and trashouts
- Able to tow and back a trailer and make landfill/dump runs
- Able to work independently and run a job from start to finish
- Own your own tools
- Valid driver's license with a clean record — trailer towing required
- Able to do heavy physical work: lift materials, demo, climb ladders, work overhead
- Reliable, punctual, and honest
- Must pass a pre-employment drug screen — drug-free workplace
- Must be authorized to work in the United States
This Job Is Not For You If
- You only do light handyman work and can't run a full remodel
- You can't tow a trailer or handle demolition and hauling
- You need constant supervision or direction
- You're not reliable, show up late, or leave jobs half-finished
Compensation & Growth
- Pay based on experience and skill — steady, year-round work
- Advancement opportunities for reliable workers who consistently deliver quality work
- The chance to grow with us as we expand in the Lawton market
Benefits
- 6 paid holidays per year (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas)
- Steady, consistent work
- Opportunities for advancement
- Professional development assistance
