Install is the hardest job we hire for, so we ask installers a few extra questions up front. It saves you a drive and us a phone call.
How long have you worked in the trades? *
Select
None
Less than 1 year
1 to 3 years
3 to 5 years
More than 5 years
Countertops, cabinetry, construction — any hands-on work counts.
What hourly wage are you looking for? *
A range is fine. It will not rule you out on its own.
Tell us about that work — what you did day to day, the tools and equipment you ran, and any training or certifications you hold *
How would you rate yourself at reading a tape measure? *
Select
Can’t do it
Introductory knowledge of it

Countertops get measured to the sixteenth of an inch, and a bad number means a remake.
How would you rate yourself at reading a shop drawing? *

Every job leaves the shop with a drawing showing sizes, seams, cutouts, and edge profiles.
Can you repeatedly lift 75 lbs or more, and run grinders and polishers for a full day? *
Select
Yes
No
Stone is heavy and most of the day is spent on your feet, often carrying tops up stairs or through finished homes.
What does your driving record look like? *
Select
Clean — no violations
Minor only — speeding or seatbelt
Other violations — explained next
Crews drive company trucks to job sites, so we check this.
What were the other violations?
Leave this blank if your record is clean.
Who was your most recent employer? *
Tell us the company and what you did there day to day.
How long did you work there? *
Select
Less than 6 months
6 months to 1 year
1 to 2 years
More than 2 years
A rough answer is fine.
Why did you leave that job, or why are you looking to leave now? *
Have you ever been fired or let go from a job? *
Select
Yes
No
If yes, tell us what happened
Being let go once does not take you out of the running. We would just rather hear it from you than find out later.
Our hours are 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Thursday, and some days run late. Can you commit to that? *
Select
Yes
No
Have you ever been convicted of a crime? *
Select
Yes
No
We install as a contractor for Lowe’s, and they require a background check before any of our crew goes into a customer’s home. Traffic infractions like speeding tickets do not count here.
If yes, please explain
A conviction does not automatically disqualify you from employment.
