We
are Residential Carpenters Local Union #1233 serving Pittsburgh and
southwestern Pennsylvania.
New homes must be built for growing populations,
and old homes must be renovated or replaced with
new, more efficient ones.
It takes a lot of
skilled carpenters to create or renovate these
structures expertly and efficiently. Residential
carpentry is a challenging career because of the
new building products, new styles, new tools,
new technology and hard work which goes into today’s housing
industry.
Housing contractors are always seeking
good residential carpenters.
Residential carpenters are also
considered “master
builders,” because they are the primary craft
workers on homes, apartments, and condos. They
assemble and erect the framework of residences;
they install the floors, build the walls,
construct the roofs, and do much of the finish work, often staying on
a particular job until it’s finished. The
residential carpenter is an all-around carpenter
who has experience in just about every aspect of
residential construction.
