Introduction

As we move further into 2026, it is incredible to see how quickly the year is progressing. With the first two months already behind us, the team at Exterior Building Solutions (EBS) is focused on continuing the strong growth we have built over the past several years.

One of our key goals for 2026 is expanding our team by bringing on additional A-plus project estimators. These roles are essential to helping homeowners, supporting our operations, and driving the success of our company.

Why Exterior Building Solutions Is Growing Its Estimating Team

Over the past few years, Exterior Building Solutions has developed a team of highly skilled project estimators who have played a major role in helping the company surpass its goals. Their dedication, professionalism, and ability to connect with homeowners have helped drive consistent growth.

As the company continues expanding throughout the St. Louis area, we are looking for additional team members who want to grow alongside us and take advantage of the opportunities ahead.

What Makes a Great Project Estimator

When we talk about finding rockstar talent, we are not just looking for someone to fill a position. We are looking for individuals who are motivated to build a career and take ownership of their success.

According to Josh Knese:

“We want somebody that is hungry. Somebody that is not afraid to bet on themselves and understands that their compensation is directly correlated to the effort they put into the job.”

The project estimator role is ideal for individuals who enjoy working with people, solving problems, and taking control of their professional growth.

The Advantage of a Performance Driven Career

One of the most appealing aspects of a project estimator role is that your success is tied directly to your effort and performance.

In many traditional jobs, employees feel frustrated because they work harder than others but receive the same pay. In a performance driven environment, that limitation disappears.

Josh explains it clearly:

“That is the beauty of sales. Your compensation and income are directly tied to the effort that you put in.”

For individuals who are motivated, competitive, and willing to work hard, this structure creates tremendous opportunity.

At EBS, we believe in setting our team members up for success. When someone joins our estimating team, they receive:

• Professional training and mentorship

What we ask in return is simple. We need individuals who bring determination, discipline, and a strong work ethic to the table.

Is This the Right Opportunity for You

The project estimator role is perfect for people who:

• Are motivated and goal oriented
• Enjoy interacting with homeowners and building relationships
• Want control over their earning potential
• Are willing to work hard and take advantage of opportunities
• Are looking for a long term career rather than just a job

If you are someone who is not interested in simply clocking in and clocking out every day, this opportunity may be exactly what you are looking for.
