There's No Closing Date on this Page.

Most companies post a job when they’re short-handed and take it down a week later. We’d rather meet good people before we need them.

So this page stays up. If you paint, finish, or build for a living, or you’re serious about learning how, send us a note. We read every one, and when a spot opens (and they do), we start with the people we already know.

Sometimes that’s next week. Sometimes we make room for the right person.
