Tell us about your experience in texturing, in particular ceilings (popcorn, knockdown, orange peel) Restoration work requires documentation and tracking throughout your workday. Do you have basic computer and/or tablet/iPad experience? Please list your in-home carpentry/home renovation skills that you would be willing to help the team with (anything from interior rough/trim carpentry to door hanging or installing interior millwork). This is not a requirement, just a bonus! Attitude is key! Are you ambitious? Are you easy to get along with and treat others with respect? Are you a good listener and communicator? Do you want to genuinely help co-workers and clients and people in general?
