Handyman / Maintenance Technician
Legacy Home & Estate Services (and our sister divisions Legacy Louisville Auctions and Legacy Home Realtors) prepare, repair, and present homes and estates throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana. From tightening a loose banister before an open house to rebuilding a deck after an estate clean-out, our in-house trades crew is the reason clients trust us to handle “everything under one roof”.
We’re adding a flexible, multi-skilled Handyman to that crew—someone who can swap a light fixture in the morning, patch drywall after lunch, and still crack a joke with our Boston and Louisville teammates before clock-out.

- Schedule – Monday–Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM (start/finish times flex with job sites; occasional overtime only with prior notice).
- Pay – $30 per hour, DOE & skill breadth (paid weekly).
