Job description
About the Role
We're hiring an apprentice carpenter — someone early in the trade who wants to learn it properly, from demo day to punch list, in a small two-owner company where you'll work directly alongside experienced carpenters, not get parked on a labor crew. We do kitchens, baths, fireplaces, and finish carpentry in occupied homes across Greater Sacramento (2025 NARI Remodeler of the Year, CSLB #1115328).
What
you'll do
• Demo, site protection, and site prep in occupied homes
• Material runs, jobsite organization, and end-of-day cleanup done right
• Assist on framing, drywall, door sets, and finish work — learning each phase hands-on
• Log your day in our project management system (Job Tread)
What we need
• Some construction, trade, or serious hands-on experience (even non-professional — tell us what you've built)
• Show up every day, on time, with a phone that answers
• Basic hand tools and the intent to build out your kit as you learn (we provide large, specialty, and trade-specific tools)
• Reliable transportation and a valid CA driver's license
• Care about working clean in someone's home
What you get
• $18–23/hr to start, based on what you can already do — reviewed as your skills grow, with a defined path to journeyman carpenter ($30+/hr)
• Weekly direct deposit, paid Mondays
• Medical (Kaiser Gold 80) — PCI pays up to 75% of the base plan premium — plus Guardian dental/vision
• Paid sick leave, vacation, 7 paid holidays; 401(k) after 6 months
• Real training: you'll learn remodel carpentry from people who won awards doing it
How we hire: short phone call → in-person interview → paid working day on a real jobsite → offer. The working day is paid whether or not we move forward.
