Remodel Estimator

wee · Albuquerque, NM, United States

Civil Engineering / ConstructionSenior LevelQuick applyfull-time19 days ago

About The Role

  • Own the Front End. Close the Work. Protect the Margin.
  • In remodeling, everything starts with the estimate — scope gaps, missed details, and margin issues all begin here.

We’re looking for a senior-level Remodel Estimator who can

  • Build clean, detailed scopes
  • Price work accurately and confidently
  • Close projects with homeowners
  • Protect margin from the first conversation
  • This is not a support role.
  • This is a high-ownership position responsible for both estimating and sales performance.

The Role

As a Remodel Estimator, you own the full front-end of residential and commercial remodel projects — from first site visit to signed contract.

You ensure

  • Complete, buildable scope
  • Accurate, profitable pricing
  • Clear, confident client communication
  • Clean, no-surprises handoff to production

You set the standard before the job ever starts.

What You’ll Own

  • Scope, estimate, and close residential and commercial remodel projects
  • Conduct site visits and build detailed, line-item estimates (labor, materials, subcontractors)
  • Define complete scopes and align expectations with production
  • Present proposals, communicate clearly, and close work
  • Price projects to protect margin and prevent change orders
  • Deliver clean handoffs and support scope alignment during production
  • Maintain consistent pipeline activity and follow-up on qualified opportunities

You are responsible for both winning the work and setting it up to succeed.

What Success Looks Like

  • Jobs run without scope gaps, confusion, or rework from production
  • Margins are protected and predictable
  • Close rates are consistent on qualified opportunities
  • Production trusts your estimates without second-guessing

You don’t just write estimates — you control outcomes.

What You Bring

Required

  • 5+ years estimating residential remodels
  • Experience building $20,000 – $150,000 kitchen and bath estimates
  • Proven ability to create detailed, line-item proposals
  • Strong understanding of labor burden and margin structure
  • Ability to lead client conversations and close work
  • Strong organization and documentation discipline

Who This Is NOT For

This role is not for you if

  • You rely on rough numbers instead of detailed scopes
  • You avoid client interaction or closing work
  • You expect production to fix estimating mistakes
  • You are not comfortable being accountable for margin

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary + Performance Bonus
  • Bonus tied to volume, margin, and accuracy

Benefits

  • Medical, Dental, Vision
  • 401(k)
  • Flexible Time Off
