Carpenters measure, saw, level and nail wood and other building materials. They
install tile and insulation, acoustical ceilings, cabinets, siding and much
more. They work with many tools to build houses, schools, churches and hotels.
They erect skyscrapers, hospitals, office buildings and prisons, and construct
bridges, tunnels and highways. Carpenters make up the largest single group of
skilled workers in the country.
