We’re seeking a reliable, experienced handyman for ongoing maintenance, repair, and renovation projects on a rural property in the mountains. The ideal candidate will have a broad skill set to manage everything from minor repairs and remodeling to landscaping, snow plowing, and light logging work.

Routine maintenance and repair work across the property
Renovation and remodeling tasks as needed
Snow removal, including shoveling and plowing
Basic logging and wood splitting
Handling repairs independently and identifying areas for preventative maintenance
Upcoming projects include:
basement waterproofing
installing heat tape on roofs and gutters
construction of video studio interior (set walls, light electrical, cabling, acoustic insulation)
bucking and splitting logs for firewood
Requirements
Experience: At least 2-3 years in general handyman or property maintenance roles, with a range of skills
Physical Ability: Comfortable climbing ladders, using hand and power tools, lifting 50 pounds, operating machinery (e.g., plow truck, Polaris UTV), and performing physical tasks at high altitudes (the property is at 10,000 feet elevation)
Transportation: Reliable personal transportation with four-wheel drive and snow tires is required
Location: Preference for candidates who live in the mountains nearby, but open to all applicants that are comfortable to commuting daily to 20-minutes beyond Idaho Springs
Availability: Flexible full-time, around 30-40 hours per week, with agreed-upon hours.
