Experienced Residential Window Installer

SIR Home Improvements | Portage, MI
Full-Time & Part-Time | In-Person | $80,000–$150,000 Annual Earning Potential

Experienced Window Installer? Your Skills Should Be Worth More.

You know what a quality window installation looks like.

You know that the difference between an average installer and a great installer is in the details—the measurements, the prep work, the fit, the finish, the cleanup, and how the homeowner feels when you leave.

If you take genuine pride in your craftsmanship, work efficiently, solve problems in the field, and expect a lot from yourself, we want to talk to you.

SIR Home Improvements has been serving homeowners for more than 45 years, and we're continuing to build a production team around skilled professionals who take ownership of their work.

This isn't a position for someone who simply wants to get through the job and move on to the next one.

We're looking for installers who care about doing it right.

What You Can Earn up to $80,000–$150,000 Per Year

Our experienced window installers have the opportunity to earn based on productivity, quality, craftsmanship, and performance.

Your earning potential is directly influenced by your ability to:

• Complete quality installations efficiently
• Maintain a high standard of craftsmanship
• Work independently and manage your projects
• Solve installation challenges in the field
• Minimize mistakes and callbacks
• Maintain a clean and professional job site
• Deliver an excellent experience for the homeowner

There is no traditional hourly wage putting a ceiling on what a highly productive installer can earn.

If you're experienced, efficient, and consistently produce excellent work, your compensation should reflect it.

What You'll Be Responsible For

As an Experienced Residential Window Installer, you will be responsible for completing replacement window projects in customers' homes from preparation through final completion.

Installation & Craftsmanship

• Install residential replacement windows according to SIR's installation standards
• Properly prepare and evaluate window openings
• Measure and verify openings before installation
• Complete interior and exterior trim work
• Perform window capping and exterior finishing
• Complete necessary finish carpentry
• Ensure windows are properly installed, sealed, insulated, finished, and operating correctly
• Identify potential issues before they become problems
• Troubleshoot unexpected conditions in the field
• Maintain accuracy and quality throughout the installation

Job-Site Ownership

• Prepare your work area and materials before beginning the installation
• Protect floors, furniture, walls, and other areas of the customer's home
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment
• Keep the job site clean throughout the project—not just at the end
• Properly handle tools, equipment, materials, and company property
• Complete projects efficiently without cutting corners
• Perform a thorough final inspection before leaving the job

Customer Experience

You're working inside someone's home. How you conduct yourself matters.

You'll be expected to:

• Communicate professionally with homeowners
• Respect the customer's home and property
• Answer basic installation questions professionally
• Keep homeowners informed when appropriate
• Maintain a clean and respectful presence in the home
• Represent SIR professionally from the moment you arrive until you leave

The installation isn't finished when the window is in. It's finished when the job is done right.

What Separates Our Best Installers

We're looking for someone who:

• Takes genuine pride in their craftsmanship
• Notices details other people miss
• Works quickly without sacrificing quality
• Can diagnose problems and determine practical solutions
• Doesn't need someone standing over them to stay productive
• Takes ownership when something goes wrong
• Double-checks their work instead of assuming it's correct
• Understands that preventing a problem is better than fixing one later
• Keeps their workspace clean and organized
• Treats customers and their homes with respect
• Can take feedback without becoming defensive
• Is willing to learn SIR's specific installation standards and processes
• Understands that quality, productivity, and professionalism all matter

We don't expect perfection.

We do expect ownership.

If you make a mistake, we expect you to identify it, communicate it, fix it, and learn from it.

If you see a problem, we expect you to address it rather than walk past it.

If there is a better way to do something, we want you to speak up.

That's the type of installer we're looking for.
