The core of this job is drywall, painting, decks, and flooring. Cabinet installation and remodeling work happen, but they are not the day-to-day.

Formal carpentry training, such as union apprenticeship, trade school, or similar structured program Experience working in higher-end residential homes Track record of completing jobs on time and within budget This Position May Not Be the Right Fit If... Your carpentry experience is primarily in apartments, rentals, or low-income housing. You cannot perform the full drywall process from start to finish. You typically need a helper or crew to complete standard jobs. The majority of our work is done solo. You are coming from owning or running your own business and are looking for short-term employee work. You tend to work at a very slow pace, even if the finished product is good. Jobs need to be completed in a reasonable timeframe.
