Framing and Siding Carpenters
January 2018 | Press
Framing and siding carpenters precisely measure, cut and assemble the framing lumber needed to build residential and commercial buildings. Our carpenters work throughout northern Idaho and eastern Washington, from Coeur d'Alene to the surrounding areas including Liberty Lake, WA and Spokane's South Hill. They construct what becomes the framework for the rest of the building and may be involved in other components needed throughout the job. Blueprints typically guide framing and siding carpenters in constructing the project.
