Apply for Warranty & Services Manager

Sun Design, an architectural design-build remodeler, has been transforming homes in the Northern Virginia and Washington, DC area since 1988. Sun’s sparkling reputation has been built on reinventing homes through the creative use of light and space, working closely with clients, with minimal impact on busy lives. Our ultimate goal is to create spaces that are not only award-winning in their beauty, but that dramatically enhance the quality of life today and in the years to come.

This is not a typical handyman position.

We're looking for a professional who can confidently meet with homeowners, diagnose issues, create solutions, sell and price home maintenance projects, coordinate resources, and deliver an exceptional client experience.

You'll oversee our warranty program while growing our Forever Home Care service division through ongoing maintenance services, seasonal maintenance agreements, and small improvement projects for our past clients.

If you're equal parts craftsman, salesperson, problem solver, and relationship builder, we'd like to meet you.

What You'll Do

As the Warranty & Home Services Manager, you'll be the face of Sun Design for many of our past clients.

You'll help homeowners protect and maintain their investment while identifying opportunities to provide additional services that improve their homes and lives.

Your Responsibilities Include:

• Managing warranty requests and ensuring timely resolution
• Meeting with homeowners to assess concerns and recommend solutions
• Selling and pricing Forever Home Care projects
• Growing recurring revenue through seasonal maintenance agreements
• Building long-term relationships with Sun Design clients
• Developing scopes of work and preparing proposals
• Ordering materials and coordinating subcontractors
• Supervising and mentoring a Home Services Technician
• Identifying future remodeling opportunities and referring them to our sales team
• Maintaining accurate documentation and project records
• Ensuring every client receives exceptional experience

This Role Is Part Service Manager, Part Sales Consultant

Success in this position requires someone who is comfortable discussing money, setting expectations, and asking for the sale.

You should be able to:

• Listen carefully to homeowner concerns
• Diagnose underlying issues
• Recommend practical solutions
• Explain pricing confidently
• Gain clients buy-in
• Close small service projects
• Follow up consistently
• 
  

You don't need to be a high-pressure salesperson.

You do need to be comfortable having honest conversations, presenting value, and helping clients make decisions.

You might be a great fit if people describe you as:

✔ Dependable

✔ Organized

✔ Professional

✔ Resourceful

✔ Self-motivated

✔ Trustworthy

✔ Tech-savvy

✔ Detail-oriented

✔ A strong communicator

✔ Someone who follows through

You don't need constant supervision.

You know how to prioritize your day, communicate proactively, and keep commitments.

While you'll have a dedicated coordinator helping schedule appointments, and support administrative tasks, you'll be expected to take ownership of your workload and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

• Finish carpentry
• Drywall repair
• Painting and touch-up work
• Doors and hardware
• Cabinet adjustments and repairs

You should be comfortable using:

• Outlook and Microsoft 365
• Tablets and smartphones in the field
• Scheduling and project management software
• Digital documentation and photos

Experience with service management, estimating, or small-project sales is highly desirable.
