There is real opportunity in the trades. Come find your niche.

Skilled labor is one of the most under-celebrated careers in the country, and one of the most rewarding. If you have the work ethic, we'll help you find the trade you were meant to do.

01 Why the trades

A career you can build with your hands.

High-end residential construction is one of the last places where actual, demonstrable, hands-on skill still determines what you earn and how far you go. The work is honest. The feedback is immediate. And the careers compound: every project teaches you something the next one will pay you for.

We hire for character first and skill second. If you're new to the trades and want to learn, we'll put you next to people who have spent decades getting good. If you've already found your craft, we'll give you projects worth your time and a team that respects what you bring.

Pick a trade. Get exceptional at it. Build a life on it.

02 Find your niche

Trades we hire and train.

You don't need to know which one is yours yet. We rotate new hires through the work so you can feel where your hands and head want to land.

01

Framing & Structure

Read plans, run a saw, set walls plumb. The foundation of every other trade on site.

02

Finish Carpentry

Casing, trim, built-ins and cabinetry. Where patience and a sharp pencil pay off. 

03

Superintendent

Manage subcontractors and schedules, enforce quality and safety standards on site, and serve as the daily point of contact between the field, the office, and the client. A supervisory role for someone who takes ownership of a job site with precision, accountability, and an eye for the details that separate good work from great.

04

Tile & Stone

Layout, setting and detailing: the work that gets photographed and walked on for decades.

05

Plumbers & Electricians

Assist licensed plumbers and electricians, learn the systems behind the walls.

06

Site & Sitework

Excavation, grading, drainage and concrete. Heavy work that shapes everything that follows.

03 What we expect

The four rules.

01

Show up

On time, every day, with a positive attitude and ready to work.

02

Teamwork

No one works alone here. Help each other, and we'll help you get better.

03

Own the detail

We're not a tract builder; our clients demand a higher-end product.

04

Look out for the crew

Clean the site, hand somebody a tool, keep each other safe.
