Summary
This role requires a versatile, seasoned carpenter capable of completing residential remodeling projects through every phase, from initial demolition to final finish work. While a broad mastery of all trades is a significant asset, we highly value and will consider candidates whose expertise is specifically geared toward exterior skills, including decks, framing, siding, windows, doors, and roofing or interior finish specialization in kitchens, bathrooms, and full-scale interior remodels.
The ideal candidate brings over 10 years of professional experience to handle a diverse range of tasks, from structural framing to high-end interior renovations. Proficiency in framing is excellent, while skills in tile and drywall are considered significant assets. To qualify, applicants must be fully self-sufficient, possessing their own professional tools and reliable transportation.

Structural Framing & Exterior Envelope
Demolition & Site Prep: Execute organized demolition of existing structures, ensuring the protection of customer property and efficient debris management for roadside pickup or site dumpsters.
Framing & Assembly: Expertly measure, cut, and join wood and wood substitutes. Install structural floor beams, subflooring,
and construct wall and roof systems according to construction plans.
Exterior Finishes: Complete siding installation, roof replacements, and window/door installations to ensure a weather-tight building envelope.
Outdoor Structures: Construct and repair custom decks, porches, sunrooms, railings, and fencing.

Transportation: Maintain reliable personal transportation suitable for commuting to various job sites with necessary equipment.
While our standard policy focuses on projects within a 30-minute radius, this role may involve occasional travel within Nova Scotia. Such travel is kept to a minimum, is shared equitably across the team, and requires prior notice and approval.
