If your project requires permitted work, contact S.E.A. Total Service directly for a full-service quote.

Who Calls Us
Built for Contractors

You're a Man Down

Guy called in, quit, or got hurt. You've got a job site waiting and a deadline today. We fill the gap without agency fees or a long-term commitment.

You Need to Move On

Your next project is ready but this one's not quite done. Leave us the punch list — we close it out and you're billing two jobs at once.

Big Day, Thin Crew

Delivery day, inspection day, or a deadline push — rent the extra hands for one day without adding headcount permanently.

Specialty Tasks You Don't Do

You're a GC but need a roof assist, or you're a roofer who needs a drywaller for one day. We bridge the gap so you don't turn down work.

Flip & Rehab Projects

Investors and flippers who need reliable, knowledgeable help on a per-day basis — not a subs markup on top of every little task.

Property Managers

Unit turnovers, make-readies, and maintenance calls that need a skilled hand fast. We're the call before you blow your maintenance budget.

The Smart Money Move
Why Book Us vs. Hire

When you book DownAGuy, you're not hiring a worker — you're paying an invoice to an LLC. That single distinction changes everything about how it hits your books and your liability exposure.

Hiring a 1099 Worker
Booking DownAGuy (LLC Invoice)
Tax Classification
Labor expense — tracked per individual, 1099-NEC required over $600
Subcontractor / Service Expense
Vendor invoice from an LLC — books like equipment rental or materials. No 1099-NEC required when paying a corporation.
Payroll / Tax Exposure
Risk of IRS reclassification as employee — back taxes, penalties, audits
Zero Exposure on Your End
You paid an invoice. Employment classification, taxes, and payroll are our problem — not yours.
Workers' Comp
You may be liable if an uninsured 1099 worker is hurt on your site
Covered Under Our Policy
Workers operating under S.E.A. Total Service are covered by our GL and workers' comp — request our COI at booking.
Job Costing
Labor line items are scrutinized — hard to deduct everything cleanly, especially mixed personal/business use
Clean Project Expense
One invoice, one line item. Assign it directly to the job — just like lumber or a dumpster. Your accountant will thank you.
Commitment
Ongoing relationship — vetting, rehiring, managing availability
On-Demand, Zero Strings
Book when you need it. Cancel when you don't. No retainer, no roster, no drama.

RATED
More Than Just a Day's Work
We Rate You. We Tag You.
We Promote You.

Every contractor we work with gets rated on our business profile — and the good ones get tagged publicly. That's free marketing, credibility, and exposure to every contractor, investor, and property manager who finds us.

Quality Rating

After every engagement, we rate the experience — site organization, communication, scope clarity, and professionalism. Contractors build a track record that follows them.

📣

Public Tags & Shoutouts

Top-rated partners get tagged on our Facebook and Google Business posts — reaching our growing network of contractors, flippers, and property managers in the Des Moines market.

🤝

Preferred Partner Status

Contractors who consistently earn strong ratings get listed as Preferred Partners — featured in our referral network and recommended to clients who ask us who we trust.

Verified Experience Record
