About Shifted
Shifted gets homes market-ready, fast. We partner with real estate agents to prep and refresh houses in the days before they list. You the handyman will make small repairs, patching, touch-ups, and fixture work with zero out-of-pocket cost to the seller until settlement. We turn a home around in two to three days and are building a reliable network of independent contractors in Prince George's County to make that happen.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a skilled general handyman to handle light-repair and finish work that makes a listing shine. You take on well-defined jobs, complete the agreed scope to a clean, market-ready standard, then move to the next home. Ideal for an experienced, self-directed contractor who takes pride in fast, tidy, high-quality work.
Typical Scope of Work
Drywall patching, caulking, and paint touch-ups. Minor carpentry: trim, doors, cabinets, hardware, fixture adjustments. Hanging, mounting, and securing fixtures; basic leak and fixture fixes. Replacing switch plates, outlet covers, light fixtures, simple hardware. Small exterior/curb-appeal fixes and general punch-list items. Flagging any larger issues spotted so that they can be addressed separately.
What Makes You a Fit
Proven handyman or general-trades experience with your own reliable tools and own transportation. An eye for finish quality, clean lines, no mess left behind, show-ready results. Comfortable working efficiently against a listing deadline. Self-directed, honest, and easy to coordinate with.
Pay
You set your rate. Tell us what you'd charge for the job when you apply, and we'll let you know if it's a match. We allow you to be as competitive as you like with your quote.
What We Require
Legal authorization to work in the United States: ALL contractors must be legally able to work in the U.S. and provide valid documentation. This is Non-negotiable. Your own occupational/liability insurance: it is inexpensive and quick to obtain (we recommend Next or Thimble). Proof of COI required before your first job. Reliable transportation and a smartphone. Job details and crew coordination happen by app and WhatsApp. Must be professional and presentable in appearance. Our contractors typically wear a solid black t-shirt or top. Dependability and clear communication is a MUST! homes are on tight pre-listing timelines.
How This Works
This is an independent contractor (1099) opportunity not employment. You're your own boss: you decide which jobs to accept and how to complete the work. Paid per completed job or scope, not by the hour. No guaranteed hours, shifts, or minimum volume jobs are offered as they come in. You're responsible for your own taxes, insurance, and business expenses. Shifted doesn't withhold taxes or provide employee benefits. We provide a short overview of Shifted's quality standards, checklist, and app workflow before you take on jobs. No prior experience with our system needed. On multi-person jobs, a lead contractor coordinates the crew on site.
