The majority of modern day carpenters work as contractors for construction and remodeling projects. Many also run their own carpentry business and do the work themselves or hire and oversee employees. If they are successful enough, some carpenters turn their business into a full-fledged construction company.
Remodeling projects can be a particularly good way for carpenters to earn a salary. Every house or building needs occasional repairs and changes, and that require the expertise of a carpenter. Often owners of apartments and other buildings need the services of a carpenter for everything from quick repairs to major remodeling.
The average salary for a carpenter who works in the US is about $41,727, although this doesn’t take into account carpenters who remodel and rebuild, or “flip,” homes as part of their business.
