Residential Pre-Construction Estimator — Residential Remodeling
About The Position
Gridley Company is a trusted design-build remodeling firm serving homeowners throughout the South Bay for more than 35 years. Our fixed-price approach and attention to detail have helped us build long-standing relationships with clients, trade partners, and suppliers. We're committed to thoughtful planning, accurate budgeting, and setting projects up for success before construction begins. Estimating plays a critical role in delivering on that promise.
