Job Description
The best drywall work is the kind no one notices.
In remodel projects, flawless walls set the tone for every trade that follows. When drywall is done right, nothing else has to compensate for it. This role is built for professionals who take pride in clean finishes, thoughtful execution, and leaving homes better than they found them.
Who We Are
Next Level Restoration & Remodel is an Albuquerque-based restoration and remodel company built on craftsmanship, accountability, and respect — for clients, for homes, and for the tradespeople who do the work. We specialize in restoration and remodel projects that demand precision: drywall, tile, flooring, carpentry, and paint. Our standard is simple:
- Quality is non-negotiable
- Rework is not normal
- Professionals are trusted to own their work
We build systems so skilled people can do their best work — without chaos or micromanagement.

- Maintain clean, organized, and safe jobsites
