  • Familiarity with stair components, including treads, risers, stringers, balusters, handrails, and newel posts.

  • Background in residential construction, finish carpentry, architectural millwork, or remodeling.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is an experienced construction estimator who understands how construction projects come together, can accurately interpret blueprints, and is comfortable working both with plans and physically at job sites.
