Description

Residential Renovation and Finish Work on Martha's Vineyard
We’re looking for a carpenter who thrives on solving problems, shaping spaces, and ensuring homes stay strong and beautiful.

You’ll be the go-to carpenter for keeping Island homes safe, beautiful, and built to last. One week it’s restoring a historic window, the next it’s trimming out a new addition. You’ll work inside and out—on the roof, in the basement, and everywhere in between—bringing skill and creativity to projects that matter to our clients and community.

In this role, you’ll solve problems on the fly, draw on your years of experience, and balance both rough and finish carpentry with care. Sometimes you’ll work independently with full autonomy; other times you’ll collaborate with a larger crew. Either way, you’ll be part of a worker-owned company that values trust, humor, and lasting relationships.

Along the way, you’ll connect directly with clients, offering not just craftsmanship but reassurance—helping them adapt and care for the places that mean the most in their lives.

We offer an exceptional, family-friendly compensation package, including medical/dental/vision insurance (SMCo covers the full deductible), profit sharing, 401k, and the potential for ownership.
