Eligibility Criteria
- Minimum of five (5) years continuous experience in the remodeling industry, with at least two (2) years as a lead carpenter
Nic Juncos
Nic is no stranger to the construction industry. He started his career in hotel maintenance and then worked within commercial remodeling before joining Schloegel. Nic appreciates how everyone gets along and the comradery of the team. Help is never far away if you need it and co-workers don’t just help, they coach, to ensure you know how to do it moving forward. As Nic says, “Everyone has your back” and he would know. The entire Handyman team showed up to Nic’s home one Saturday to help with construction on his home.
Kris Worden
Kris is an expert in the industry. He’s not only great at remodeling but electrical modifications, plumbing modifications, handling gas lines, drywalling, and building decks. He’s found he’s able to listen and understand what a customer wants and then fuel their ideas with his trade and product knowledge.
On one of Kris’s past jobs, he found an old wallet still containing credit cards, ids, etc. The homeowner tracked down the wallet owner, a home remodeler from 20+ years before!
Doug Schauerman
Doug is no stranger to the construction industry. In fact, he owned his own handyman business for nearly 10 years before joining the Schloegel team. Whether it’s carpentry, tile, or plumbing he’s here to help! Doug has learned through his experience communication is key in all things whether that’s working with homeowners or his team. Listening and communicating carefully ensure expectations are met.
A self-described ‘country boy’ Doug and his family own several farm animals but a rooster on a past job site still shook him up. “The rooster attacked you every time you walked around the house. By the end of the job I had finally started to handle him by pushing him away.”
We are always proud when our team members become certified. A certification not only shows they’ve put in years of hands-on experience but have taken the time to improve their level of expertise.
