Join Our Crew Network

The offer: the work,
without the chase.

If you run a small carpentry or restoration crew, you know the real problem isn't the craft — it's the pipeline. Feast-or-famine scheduling, evenings spent quoting jobs that never sign, money burned on ads that ring with tire-kickers. RotGone solves the pipeline. We generate the leads, run the assessments, write the scopes, and handle the homeowner — you show up to defined work at a defined price and do what you're actually good at. Sash rebuilds, epoxy and splice rot repairs, frame and sill work, door surgery, deck and porch structural repairs: the specialized jobs, in steady supply, across Essex, Morris, and Union counties.

What we need from you

• Insurance — active general liability and workers' comp coverage; we'll need current certificates
• Real wood experience — you've repaired sashes, spliced frames, worked epoxy systems; carpentry that shows joinery, not just framing
• Your own tools and transport — a crew that arrives job-ready, shop access a plus
• A portfolio — photos of your actual work, ideally before/after; it's the first and biggest filter

Who thrives in the network

The best fits so far: two-to-four person crews led by a finish carpenter or restoration specialist; solo craftsmen with shop capability who want field work without the phone work; and small outfits between big projects who want dependable fill. What they share is pride in the tight stuff — a spliced stile you can't find with your thumbnail, an epoxy rebuild that holds its profile, a door that closes like it's new. If your camera roll is full of that, you're who this page was written for.

How joining works

1. Send the portfolio. Email photos of your work to office@windowserv.com with the subject line "Crew Network" — include your service area, crew size, and insurance status. 2. Do a test project. If the portfolio fits, we start with one real, paid job so both sides see how the other works — quality, communication, cleanup, timeline. 3. Get the flow. Crews that hit our standard go into the rotation: scoped jobs offered as they book, at agreed rates, with our office handling the client side. Every job you take carries our name and our 5-year workmanship warranty — which is why the bar stays where it is.

We're selective on purpose. Homeowners call RotGone because everyone else said "replace it"; the repair has to prove them right. If that's the kind of work you already do, we should talk.

What working in the network looks like

Jobs come to you scoped: the assessment is done, the fix is specified, the price is set, and the homeowner has already approved it — you're executing, not selling. You'll know before accepting a job what the work is, where it is, and what it pays. Communication runs through our office, so change conditions (hidden rot is a fact of this trade) get documented and re-approved without you playing messenger. Crews that consistently deliver get more of the calendar — the network rewards exactly one thing, and it's the quality of the finished repair.
