What is a Commercial Carpenter?
Carpenters measure, saw, level and nail wood and other building materials.

These specialized workers install a variety of factory-produced systems and construction materials in commercial buildings, institutional buildings, industrial buildings and public structures. Carpenters make up the largest single group of skilled workers in the country.
