Opportunities in Carpentry

Trained, experienced carpenters who can demonstrate the right skills and knowledge should be able to pursue many exciting and respected career options.

Carpenters Are Jacks Of All Trades

Carpenters lay out and form foundations and slabs; frame and insulate walls, floors, and roofs; install doors, windows, wallboard, paneling, flooring, ceilings, roofing, gutters, and downspouts; apply exterior and interior trim; craft cabinets, stairways, and mantels; build decks and fences; and so much more. Whatever you choose to do, you could play a key role in many different specialty areas.

Carpenters Are Unusual People

They’re independent. Persistent. Knowledgeable. They like being able to stand back and admire a job that's well done.

Carpenters Are Inquisitive

They like to solve problems and make decisions. And they love working in the fresh air and sunlight. Imagine having the satisfaction of building a home that will last for generations. Of pointing to a house and saying I built that. Imagine: some day, this pleasure could be yours!

Carpenters Are Doers & Directors

Carpenters with more experience and who have higher levels of skill and knowledge may be able to direct the activities of others as a team leader or subcontractor. They may be able to organize and supervise other carpenters, roofers, tile setters, floor and drywall specialists and masons.
