Residential Carpenter Apprenticeship

What is a Residential Carpenter?

Residential carpenters have been called the master builders, because they are the primary craft workers on homes, apartments, condominiums and the like. They assemble and erect the framework of residences; they build the partitions, install the flooring, and do much of the finish work, often staying on a particular job until its completion. The residential carpenter is an all-around carpenter who has experience in just about every aspect of residential construction.
