trunk slammer

Derogatory term for a contractor who has minimal skill, experience and equipment. Trunk slammer implies the contractor works out of their car trunk, with no office or licenses and they will likely be difficult to find if the client is not happy with the work.

My neighbor hired a trunk slammer to build his house deck, and now we are laughing at the unfinished disaster that he spent so much money on.
