What do Carpenters do?
A carpenter’s work exists in three areas: rough work, finish work, and interior systems. Rough work consists of things like residential framing and concrete form building. Finish work is installing cabinets, stairs, and hanging doors. The work of interior systems involves installing acoustical ceilings, metal studs/drywall, and access floor systems.
