Carpenters are coaches. They’re volunteers. They’re the people who help make your community a great place to live, work, and play. And with respectable incomes, a winning work ethic, and flexible schedules, carpenters also know how to make the most of life. From hammers and nails to brand-new technologies like robotic survey tools, carpentry is made of equal parts tradition and innovation—and it grows more sophisticated all the time. The variety of crafts within the carpentry industry offers an expansive range of specialty careers.
