Louis Ptak Construction has a perfect opportunity for you.

Louis Ptak Construction has been building exceptional projects throughout California since 1998 as a General Contractor and Carpentry Subcontractor. Our portfolio includes some of California's largest and most well-known private residential estates. Our commitment to excellence and collaborative work environment makes us a sought-after employer in the construction sector.

Louis Ptak Construction is building a network of licensed independent contractors to support high-end residential small projects, service, and warranty work across the Bay Area. We are looking for established company owners or owner-operators with a current California Class B General Building Contractor license who want additional project opportunities while keeping control of their own business, schedule, and availability.

This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity, not a full-time employment position. LPC expects to engage 2 to 3 contractors: North Bay, San Francisco area, the Peninsula. This is a strong fit for licensed Bay Area contractors who enjoy high-quality residential work, value flexibility, and want access to additional small project and service opportunities without stepping into a full-time employee role. LPC offers the opportunity to support exceptional homes and discerning clients while contractors continue to operate their own businesses on their own terms.

Accepted assignments may include service calls, small repair scopes, punch list work, client-requested improvements, warranty work, and small project support in occupied, high-end homes. Contractors should be comfortable assessing issues, identifying the right path forward, completing hands-on work when appropriate, and coordinating licensed trades when the scope requires specialty support.

Opportunity Overview:

• Engagement type: Independent contractor, 1099, project-based assignments.

• Territories: North Bay, San Francisco, and Peninsula. Occasional work in other Bay Area locations may be offered.

• Work volume: No guaranteed minimum hours, jobs, or assignments.

• Flexibility: Contractors may accept or decline offered work based on fit, availability, location, scope, and schedule.

• Relationship: Contractors operate their own business and are responsible for their own tools, equipment, transportation, licensing, insurance, taxes, and business expenses unless otherwise agreed in writing for a specific project.

What you get to own:

• Assess client issues on-site, confirm scope, identify materials or trades needed, and communicate next steps clearly.

• Complete common residential service and repair work, including finish carpentry, patch and paint, hardware, minor framing, general building repairs, and closeout items within your license and experience.

• Protect finished surfaces, maintain clean work areas, and deliver a white glove service experience in occupied homes.

• Read basic plans, lay out small scopes, and coordinate subcontractors or specialty trades when needed.

• Document work, decisions, before and after photos, and completion status in LPC-requested systems such as Procore Punchlist or Teams when applicable to the assignment.

• Maintain safe work practices and meet LPC quality expectations while preserving independent control over how contracted work is performed.

What we are looking for:

• Current, active California Class B General Building Contractor license.

• Must have experience in high-end residential service, remodeling, repair, foreman, superintendent, or small project experience.

• Ability to work independently, troubleshoot issues, and complete work with limited oversight.

• Professional, client-facing communication style and comfort working in occupied homes.

• Have clean and reliable vehicle and can travel within the Bay Area for accepted work.

• Strong protection standards, punch list closeout, and client communication.
