    About Hometown Builders Unlimited

    We’re a local, family-owned outdoor living company based in Slinger, WI — and we’re proud to be one of the top deck builders in the state. We specialize in building high-end custom decks, covered porches, screen rooms, and full backyard living spaces. Everything we build is done in-house by our own team of skilled craftspeople.

    We’re looking for a Project Coordinator / Project Estimator to join our growing crew. This person keeps our projects running smooth from the start — making sure every job is priced right, planned right, and built right.

    What You’ll Be Doing

    Estimating & Planning

    Put together accurate project cost estimates for decks, porches, screen rooms, and outdoor living spaces.

    Complete detailed material takeoffs so nothing gets missed and numbers stay tight.

    Get estimates from outside trades when needed

    Work hand-in-hand with our sales team to fully understand project scopes and client expectations.

    Review designs and help fine-tune them for real-world construction efficiency.

    Design & Blueprints

    Work with our in-house designers to turn concepts into final blueprints ready for build.

    Double-check drawings for accuracy, code compliance, and practical buildability.

    Offer feedback that helps streamline materials and labor while keeping quality top-notch.

    Permitting & Procurement

    Handle all building permits — from applications to approvals.

    Order and organize all project materials, coordinating deliveries with our warehouse and jobsite timelines.

    Keep a pulse on material availability and lead times to keep jobs moving without delay.

    Job Coordination

    Work alongside our Project Managers to schedule utility locates, inspections, and key milestones.

    Track progress and make sure each phase of the project stays on schedule and within budget.

    Stay connected with customers — keeping them updated on timelines, inspections, and what’s coming next.

    Cost Tracking & Budget Control

    Keep an eye on job costs from start to finish.

    Flag any budget issues early and work with leadership to find solutions.

    Make sure every project stays profitable while maintaining the quality and craftsmanship we’re known for.

    What We’re Looking For

    Previous experience in construction estimating (deck or outdoor living experience is a huge plus).

    Strong attention to detail — you notice the little things that others miss.

    Comfortable reading blueprints and doing takeoffs.

    Solid understanding of building materials, construction sequencing, and general carpentry.

    Good communicator who’s comfortable talking with vendors, inspectors, customers, and field crews.

    Organized and dependable — someone who thrives when juggling multiple projects.

    Basic computer skills (Excel, estimating software, or similar tools).

    What You’ll Get

    Competitive pay based on experience with sales commission

    Opportunities to grow with a fast-moving company

    Supportive team that values craftsmanship, communication, and accountability

    Paid time off, holidays off, 401K,

    Being part of a crew that takes pride in what we build — and does things the right way

    If you’re detail-oriented, love construction, and want to be part of a team that truly cares about quality and customer experience — we’d love to meet you.
