Window Installer (1099)

Window Installer (1099 Subcontractor)
For 70 years, K&H Home Solutions, a D5 Capital Holdings company, has helped Colorado homeowners protect and improve their homes with high-quality windows, doors, siding, roofing, and gutters. Headquartered in Arvada, CO, we've built our reputation on skilled craftsmanship, honest communication, and treating every home as if it were our own.
Our mission is simple: to help our customers fall in love with their homes again. Behind every finished project is a team of tradespeople, designers, and coordinators who take pride in their work. As part of the D5 Capital Holdings family, we're investing in our people, our systems, and our growth—and we're looking for people who want to build something lasting with us.
About the Role
As a 1099 Window Installer for K&H Home Solutions, you'll turn a homeowner's investment into a finished result they see and feel every day. You'll remove existing windows and install new, energy-efficient replacement windows on homes across the Denver metro area and Front Range, working independently to project specifications, manufacturer requirements, and K&H's quality standards.
Precision matters in this role. A window that is properly measured, squared, insulated, and sealed performs better, lasts longer, and makes a home more comfortable and beautiful. Working in customers' homes means professionalism, cleanliness, and clear communication matter as much as technical skill. This is a 1099 independent contractor position, not a W-2 role: you'll bring your own tools, equipment, transportation, and insurance, and work under a Subcontractor Agreement.
What You'll Do
Review work orders, measurements, and installation details before each job, and confirm that windows, materials, and tools are on hand before heading to the site
Protect the customer's home by covering floors and furniture and setting up a clean, safe work area inside and out
Carefully remove existing windows, trim, and stops while minimizing damage to surrounding interior and exterior finishes
Inspect rough openings for rot, moisture damage, or structural concerns, and report findings to your K&H project contact before proceeding
Install replacement windows plumb, level, and square, using shims, flashing, sealant, and insulation in line with manufacturer specifications and applicable building codes
Complete interior and exterior finish work, including trim, caulking, and touch-ups, and test every window for smooth function, proper locking, and a weather-tight seal before signing off
Clean up thoroughly at the end of each day and at project completion, including removing debris and old materials from the property
Walk the homeowner through the completed work, answer basic questions, and pass along any concerns or change requests to K&H
Follow all safety procedures, including ladder and fall protection practices, proper use of PPE, and lead-safe work practices on older homes
Maintain your own tools, equipment, and vehicle in safe working condition, and promptly report material damage, shortages, or product defects
Complete job documentation, such as completion sign-offs and photos, accurately and on time
What You Bring
Required:
Prior experience in construction, carpentry, deck/patio structures, or similar outdoor living installation with strong workmanship standards and comfort working independently to project specs
At least 1 year of experience installing residential windows, or comparable exterior remodeling experience with a demonstrated ability to learn quickly
General Liability Insurance: $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate, with StruXure/D5 Capital Holdings named as Additional Insured
Workers' Compensation coverage for any workers you employ (or a Declaration of Independent Contractor Status if working solo)
Auto Liability Insurance: $500,000 combined single limit (required for all vendors with jobsite delivery or presence)
Working knowledge of installation fundamentals, including flashing, shimming, insulating, sealing, and trim work
Own tools, equipment, and reliable transportation to job sites, along with a valid driver's license
Ability to lift and carry up to 75 lbs (with assistance for larger units), climb ladders, and work at heights and in varying weather conditions
Valid business license (state/local, as applicable)
Ability to provide a completed W-9
Willingness to execute a Subcontractor Agreement prior to starting work
Ability to pass a background check, as this role involves working inside customers' homes
Preferred:
3+ years of experience installing replacement windows on existing homes
Experience with multiple frame materials (vinyl, fiberglass, wood-clad, aluminum) and both insert and full-frame installation methods
EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator (RRP) certification, or willingness to obtain it
OSHA 10 certification or equivalent safety training
Experience installing doors, siding, or other exterior products; bilingual English/Spanish a plus
Why This Role Stands Out
Partner with a Colorado home exterior company with 70 years of history and a reputation for quality, backed by the investment and resources of D5 Capital Holdings
Take pride in visible, lasting work: your installations improve comfort, energy efficiency, and curb appeal for the families who live there
Work independently to project specs and run your own operation on projects across the Denver metro area and Front Range
Build a working relationship with a company offering a full line of exterior products, including doors, siding, roofing, and gutters
