Lead Carpenter Insurance Restoration, Accessibility Remodels & High-End White Glove Service

We specialize in insurance build-backs, accessibility remodeling, high-end handyman services, and luxury remodels. We're looking for an experienced lead carpenter who can manage projects independently and deliver quality work on meaningful projects.

What You'll Be Doing:

You'll run residential carpentry projects from start to finish. Each morning, you arrive at a job site and assess what needs to happen that day. Maybe it's a home recovering from water damage. Maybe it's a family that needs accessibility modifications so a grandparent can stay in their home. Maybe it's a luxury remodel where every detail matters. You review the plans. You coordinate with the homeowner, your team, and your supervisor. Then you get to work. Your projects vary widely. You'll frame out new walls and install blocking for grab bars. You'll build ramps with proper slope calculations. You'll hang and finish drywall, install trim and doors, and complete finish carpentry that looks professional. Throughout it all, you read blueprints, manage timelines, ensure code compliance, and keep the job site clean and safe. You'll manage a small crew—typically a journeyman and an apprentice. You delegate tasks, provide guidance, and ensure quality workmanship from your team. The work environment changes daily. Some days you're in tight crawl spaces or attics. Other days you're on ladders doing exterior trim work. You'll interact directly with clients who are often going through stressful situations. Clear, professional communication is essential. We provide paid on-the-job training for working with vulnerable populations and in hazardous restoration environments including fire, water, and pest/pathogen damaged structures.
