Residential Framing & Remodeling Carpenter

Job Description

Job Description

Pay: $80,000.00 - $110,000.00 per year

Job description:

Load Bearing Wall Company is hiring a residential framer with 8-10
years of hands-on experience in remodeling and single-family home-framing.

We are not a production framer. We are the crew that homeowners and
contractors call when a wall has to come down, a beam has to go in,
and the house has to keep standing while we do it. We work inside
finished homes — basements, main floors, attics, crawl spaces —
solving structural problems other crews won't touch.

This is a salaried position, 40–42 hours per week. We do not burn
people out. We go home.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

- Framing inside finished, occupied homes — protecting floors,
controlling dust, working clean.
- Setting and supporting LVLs, steel beams, and engineered lumber.
- Bearing wall removal, point-load transfers, headers, posts, sistering.
- Working in crawl spaces and attics when the job calls for it.
- Reading structural drawings and asking the right questions when
something doesn't add up.
- Working alongside a small, sharp crew — not running solo, not
babysitting laborers.

WHERE YOU'LL BE WORKING

Mostly inside. Sometimes a crawl space. Sometimes an attic. Rarely
outside. Jobs run anywhere from a 1/2 day to 5 days.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 8-10 years of residential framing experience (remodeling and/or single-family.)
- Comfortable in old houses where nothing is square, level, or plumb
until you make it that way.

- Experience with concrete flatwork, including basement and garage slabs.
- Accurate layout and cuts the first time.
- Clean, professional work in occupied homes.
- Valid driver's license, clean record and reliable transportation.
- A framer who has ideas about how a crew should run — and wants to share them.

- Dependable attendance: You're at work, every day, on time.

WHY WE'RE HIRING

We're building our installation team into something that runs like a
surgeon's operating room — every tool where it needs to be, every step
sequenced, every handoff clean, no wasted motion. We're not there yet.
We need a framer who wants to help us get there.

If you've ever stood on a job site and thought "this would go twice as
fast if we just..." — we want to hear those ideas. We act on them. This
is a dynamic, innovative team that changes how we work when we find a
better way. If you want a job where you punch in, swing a hammer, and
punch out, this isn't it. If you want to be part of building a crew
that other crews study, apply.

COMPENSATION

- Starting salary: $80,000–$110,000/year, depending on experience.
- 23 days PTO.
- Salary, 40–42 hours per week.
- No health, dental, vision, or 401(k) — we put it in the paycheck
instead. Be sure this works for you before applying.

Load Bearing Wall Company is an equal opportunity employer.

Benefits:

• Paid time off

Application Question(s):
