Carpenter / Restoration Tradesperson

About Us

Mishap Solutions is a Milwaukee-area restoration and renovation company built on a simple principle: we do the work ourselves, and we do it right. No volume games, no flipping jobs to subs — just skilled, honest craftsmanship on residential restoration and remodeling projects. We're a small, tight operation and we take pride in that.

The Role

We're bringing on our first full-time Carpenter to work alongside founder Eric Mishefske on residential restoration and renovation projects. This isn't a helper position — we need someone who can show up to a medium-complexity job site, read the situation, and execute without needing their hand held through every step.

You'll be doing real work: trim, framing, structural repairs, finish carpentry, and general restoration tasks across single-family homes in the Milwaukee metro.

What We're Looking For

• 2–5 years of hands-on carpentry or general construction experience
• Comfortable working independently on a job site
• Solid foundational skills across rough and finish work
• Attention to detail — our clients expect a high standard
• Reliable transportation and basic hand/power tools
• Good communication; you'll interact with homeowners occasionally
• A work ethic that matches the quality of the finished product

Nice to Have

• Experience in residential restoration (not just new construction)
• Familiarity with older Milwaukee-area homes
• Any crossover skills in drywall, painting, or general remodeling

What You Get

• A flexible schedule
• Work directly with the owner — no middle layers, no corporate nonsense
• Consistent work on varied, interesting projects
• A chance to grow with a company that has a real reputation in the community
