Carpenter / Renovation Specialist – High-End Residential & Commercial Projects

Craft & Key Design | Contracting
Western Wayne County | Greater Metro Detroit

At Craft & Key Design | Contracting, we don’t simply renovate spaces — we thoughtfully create environments that elevate how people live, work, and experience design.

We are seeking a skilled Carpenter / Renovation Specialist who wants more than a typical construction role. This is an opportunity to become part of a collaborative, craftsmanship-driven environment where your unique abilities, problem-solving mindset, and attention to detail directly contribute to exceptional project outcomes and elevated client experiences.

This position is designed for a professional who values autonomy, accountability, pride in workmanship, and understands that customer satisfaction is built through execution, communication, adaptability, and care.

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a standard production building environment.

We believe the strongest projects happen when talented individuals bring their skills, creativity, and field expertise to the table. Our team members are trusted contributors — often working independently, collaborating across trades, and helping shape the final product beyond the confines of a narrow job description.

Your voice, experience, and craftsmanship matter here.

Minimum 5 years experience within high-end residential and/or commercial renovation
Reliable transportation & clean driving record
Valid authorization to work in the United States
Strong craftsmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail
Comfortable receiving regular project feedback while also operating confidently and independently on-site
Ability to adapt, problem solve, and contribute beyond a single trade specialty

Bonus Skills

Rough framing experience
Ability to read blueprints, plans, and schematics
Multi-trade knowledge and broad renovation acumen

Compensation & Growth

$50,000 – $60,000 annually, based on experience, qualifications, demonstrated abilities, and willingness to embrace continued training, development, and skill expansion.

We actively value individuals who seek to grow professionally, refine their craft, and expand their capabilities alongside a company committed to elevated work, elevated service, and elevated outcomes.

If you’re looking for a role where your skills are genuinely valued, your craftsmanship directly impacts customer satisfaction, and your work contributes to projects that intentionally stand apart from conventional building practices — we’d welcome the conversation.

Apply with resume, work history, and project photos/portfolio if available.
