Carpenter

Advanced Custom Decks | Columbia, CT

You know the difference between just building something... and building it right.

You're the kind of carpenter who notices the details. You take pride in your work because you know your name is attached to every project you build.

If you're the kind of carpenter who takes pride in your work, you already know the people you work with can make or break the job. You're looking for a crew that works hard, respects each other, and cares about building something they can be proud of.

That's what we're building at Advanced Custom Decks.

We build custom decks throughout Connecticut, but just as importantly, we're building a team people are proud to be part of.

The best crews aren't the loudest. They're the ones that quietly get after it. They help each other without being asked, solve problems instead of pointing fingers, and take pride in the details because they know someone will enjoy what they built for years to come.

That's the kind of teammate we're looking for.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a carpenter with solid construction skills who enjoys building quality work and being part of a team.

You don't need years of deck-building experience to succeed here. We'll teach you our systems, methods, and the way we build.

What matters most is that you're dependable, take initiative, ask questions when you need to, and care about doing the job right.

Around here, nobody is above grabbing a tool, lending a hand, or helping a teammate solve a problem. We have high standards because our customers trust us to build something that lasts.

We're serious about doing quality work, treating people well, and getting better every season. That's the kind of company we're working to build.

What You'll Do

• Demolition and site preparation
• Layout and dig footings
• Pour concrete and build foundations
• Frame custom decks
• Install decking, stairs, rail systems, pergolas, and other outdoor living features
• Measure, cut, and build with precision
• Maintain clean, organized, and professional job sites
• Work alongside teammates to keep projects moving efficiently
• Learn and follow our proven deck-building systems
• Deliver quality craftsmanship that you can be proud of

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means you:

• Produce high-quality work with minimal callbacks or punch-list items.
• Help maintain clean, organized job sites.
• Show up consistently and contribute to a productive crew.
• Continue learning and improving your craft.
• Become someone your teammates can count on every day.

You'd Be a Great Fit If...

• You take pride in quality craftsmanship.
• You have solid carpentry experience.
• You enjoy working as part of a team.
• You're confident in your skills and willing to ask questions when you need to.
• You look for solutions instead of someone to blame.
• You take ownership of your work.
• You want to keep learning and growing.

This Probably Isn't the Right Fit If...

• You think your way is the only way.
• You cut corners.
• You create unnecessary drama.
• You don't take feedback well.
• You're looking for a title more than an opportunity.
• You're only looking for a paycheck.

What We Offer

• $28–35/hour based on experience, craftsmanship, and overall fit
• Paid holidays
• Paid time off
• 401(k)
• Company-provided tools
• Company-paid NADRA Decks Done Right Certification
• Deck code education and manufacturer training
• Professional development opportunities
• Quarterly team events
• Opportunities for advancement as our company grows

Our Hiring Process

1. Submit your application through our hiring platform.
2. Complete a few short screening questions.
3. If it looks like we could be a good fit, we'll invite you to a relaxed 15–20 minute conversation to get to know each other.
4. Final candidates will complete a hands-on skills assessment and have the opportunity to meet the crew.

Hiring goes both ways. We want to make sure this is the right fit for you just as much as it is for us.

If this sounds like the kind of team you've been looking for, we'd love to hear from you.
