Drywall Repair & Restoration Technician

Location: Lynnwood, WA
Employment Type:Full-Time

McLeod Construction is a well-established general contractor serving the Puget Sound region. We specialize in multifamily, commercial, insurance restoration, and residential repair projects, delivering exceptional craftsmanship and outstanding customer service.

We're looking for an experienced Drywall Repair & Restoration Technician who takes pride in producing seamless repairs that look like the damage never happened. If you're the type of craftsman who enjoys matching textures, creating invisible patches, and delivering a clean finished product, we'd love to meet you.

Most of our work involves repairing water-damaged homes, condominiums, and multifamily properties after mitigation has been completed. While you'll occasionally perform light finish carpentry and other interior repairs,
drywall patching, finishing, and texture matching will be the primary focus of this position.
