Our crews handle turnovers, repairs, and make-ready work that gets homes ready for the next family — fast, clean, and done right the first time. About the Role We are hiring a full-time Drywall Repair Tech who can patch, float, sand, and match texture so the repair disappears under paint — then prime and paint the patch so the wall is rent-ready. This is a W-2 position (taxes withheld, steady paycheck, paid holidays — not a 1099 gig). Drywall is the core of this job. Painting is the finish step — you must be able to roll, cut in, and feather a patch so it blends with the existing wall. We are not hiring a painter who "also does drywall." We are hiring a drywall pro who finishes his own patches. You will move from house to house across the DFW area, walk in, scope the damage, and execute — hairline cracks, nail pops, door-knob holes, water-damage cutouts, full sheet replacements, and texture matches across orange peel, knockdown, smooth, and popcorn. We are looking for someone who brings real drywall experience, takes pride in invisible patches, and finishes the job himself instead of waiting on a painter.
