Apply for Apprentice Carpenter

Parrish Construction Inc. (PCI) is a two-owner design-build remodeling company in Carmichael, California, serving the Greater Sacramento area. We do high-end kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, and finish carpentry for homeowners across Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Carmichael, Land Park, and surrounding neighborhoods. In 2025, we won the NARI Remodeler of the Year award in the Residential Bath Under $40K category. We are a licensed California contractor (CSLB #1115328).

We're growing our field team, and we're intentional about who joins it. We hire for demonstrated skill — our process includes a paid, hands-on working assessment — because every PCI carpenter works in clients' occupied homes and carries our name. This is a long-term build toward a multi-crew operation, and we invest in the people who grow with us: full benefits, funded NARI certification, and a defined path to Lead Carpenter.

Description

We're hiring an entry-level apprentice carpenter — someone at the very start of the trade who wants to learn it properly, from demo day to punch list, in a small two-owner company where you'll work directly alongside an experienced carpenter every day, not get parked on a labor crew. We do kitchens, baths, fireplaces, and finish carpentry in occupied homes across Greater Sacramento (2025 NARI Remodeler of the Year, CSLB #1115328).

You don't need construction experience. You need to show up every single day, work hard and clean in someone's home, and want the trade as a career. We'll teach the rest.

What you'll do (this is the real job, day one)

• Demo, site protection, and site prep in occupied homes
• Material runs, jobsite organization, and end-of-day cleanup done to a professional standard
• Assist on framing, drywall, door sets, and finish work — earning your way into each phase hands-on
• Log your day in our project management system (JobTread)

What we need

• Reliability above everything: on time, every day, with a phone that answers. If something changes, you call before 7am — that's non-negotiable here.
• Basic hand tools (a tape, a hammer — a starter kit is fine) and a real plan to build out your kit from your paychecks. We provide all large, specialty, and trade-specific tools.
• Reliable transportation and a valid CA driver's license
• Care about working clean in a home the client is living in

What you get

• $18–20/hr to start, based on readiness. Raises are earned, on a schedule we put in writing: a review at 90 days and every six months after, with pay tied to the skills you can handle on your own — a defined ladder through $23+ and a real path to journeyman carpenter ($30+/hr).
• Weekly direct deposit
• Medical (Kaiser Gold 80) — PCI pays up to 75% of the base plan premium — plus Guardian dental/vision
• Paid sick leave, vacation, 7 paid holidays; 401(k) after 6 months
• Real training: you'll learn remodel carpentry one-on-one from people who won awards doing it

How we hire: short phone call → in-person interview → paid working day on a real jobsite → offer. The working day is paid whether or not we move forward.
