About X.G.C. Innovations:
X.G.C. Innovations, LLC is a fully licensed, insured and bonded residential construction and remodeling company. We are looking for an experienced, dependable and versatile construction professional who wants more than temporary employment.
This position is intended for someone who wants to build a stable career, become an important part of our team and grow with the company as we expand. We are not hiring for a temporary
project, seasonal position or short-term fill-in role.
We value quality workmanship, honesty, accountability, respect for our customers and pride in the finished product. The right candidate will understand that construction is not only about
completing a task—it is also about protecting the customer’s home, communicating
professionally, maintaining a clean work area and standing behind the quality of the work.

following areas:

Laminate, luxury vinyl plank and other flooring installation
Interior and exterior door installation
Window installation and replacement
Basic wall framing
Basic deck framing and repairs
Selective demolition, preparation and jobsite protection
Caulking, finish work and punch-list completion
Applicants are not expected to be a master of every trade listed above. However, candidates must be independently capable in several of these areas and willing to learn the company’s preferred installation methods and quality standards.

The selected employee will be expected to:
Perform residential remodeling and repair work safely and professionally.

Treat customers, coworkers and their property with respect.
Assist with material handling, setup, cleanup and debris removal when necessary.
Maintain consistent quality from the beginning of a project through final completion.

hours, company projects, customer commitments or job performance. This position must be
treated as the employee’s primary work commitment during scheduled working hours.
