Our story

Why I started this.

My name is Jeremiah. When my family moved into our first house, my parents were young, new homeowners, and always working. Nobody expected how much a house needs. The small jobs piled up, and nobody wanted to come out and do them.

So I started Hire a Teen to help neighbors with exactly those jobs: moving, yardwork, junk, painting. What I learned is that almost every homeowner has a list like that, and almost nobody wants to take those jobs.

The Small Job Guys is the next step. It's the same "we'll take care of it" attitude, now with trade-school skills, real renovation work, upfront pricing, and a crew you can trust in your home.
