Exceptional service and a thorough willingness to ensure quality craftsmanship at the highest level
Carpentry is a skilled trade in which the primary work performed is the use of wood to construct items as large as buildings and as small as desk drawers. Carpentry is also used to construct the formwork into which concrete is poured during the building of structures such as roads and highway overpasses. While the primary material used is wood, the construction of walls with metal studs and concrete formwork with reusable metal forms is a carpentry skill.
