Carpenters in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Carpenters in the US

The Carpenters industry consists of contractors that provide specialist framing carpentry services, including the construction of wooden framing and permanent foundations, wall installations and wooden beam and truss installations. Carpenters also perform finish carpentry services, such as on-site construction and the installation of doors, windows, stairs, shelving, cupboards, cabinets and decks. Most revenue generated by carpentry contractors is derived from subcontracting services to a prime building contractor, while other smaller scale projects involve contracting directly with the client, typically the building owner, occupier or property manager. Carpenters experience some competition from do-it-yourself (DIY) homeowners in the housing alterations and additions market and from other skilled tradespeople in the new building construction market, such as general building contractors' in-house staff.

This industry comprises companies primarily engaged in framing, carpentry and finishing work. The carpentry work performed includes new work, additions, alterations, maintenance and repairs. Activities performed by establishments in this industry range from the installation of doors and windows to paneling, steel framing work and ship joinery.
