Framing Carpenter’s Helper in Southtowns (minimal experience necessary)

My crew is essentially my brother and myself. We build about one house every two weeks and could use a decent Carpenter’s Helper.

Our preference is to hire someone who knows enough about operating a circular saw to not cut his toes off, but I’ll consider anyone who is committed to the process of learning carpentry and framing houses.

My proposal: You bust your butt and work hard, and I will teach you everything I know about framing houses.

• Gain experience with pneumatic nailers, and circular saws.
• Learn about dimensional lumber, rim joists, subfloor, rough openings, king studs, headers, sheathing, and so much more.
• My daughter made me a plaque that says, “The best view comes after the hardest climb”. There is nothing more satisfying than building a house.
• We are a very small company so we have some flexibility if you wanted to be part of a part-time crew.

The ideal candidate:

• Most of our work happens in the Southtowns of Western New York. You have to be able to get to the job
• Will have the right aptitude. You’re naturally mechanical. Maybe you work on your own car, or maybe you can’t help but to take things apart just to see how they’re put together. You can visualize a finished product and probably do so in three dimensions.
• Will have the necessary strength and grit. Maybe you played sports. Perhaps you started working when you were still in high school
• Is willing to invest in himself. You do not need experience. But you’ll need at least a starter set of tools.

This help wanted is for entry level, however, I would certainly welcome a seasoned tradesman as well and I’ll pay whatever your experience is worth.
