Cabinet & Trim Carpenter – $37-$46/hr + Benefits

Cabinet & Trim Carpenter (Fairfax) — Sun Design Remodeling Specialists

Pay: $37–$46/hour, based on experience

Full-time | Senior-level | Monday–Friday, steady year-round work

Sun Design has been remodeling homes across Northern Virginia since 1988 — 38 years and still growing. We're an award-winning design-build firm (NARI, Chrysalis, Inc. 5000) known for high-end residential work, and we're looking for an experienced Cabinet & Trim Carpenter to join our Production team.

This is a finish-carpentry role for someone who's genuinely good with their hands and their eyes — someone who can hang a run of cabinets dead level on the first try, cut crown that closes tight in an out-of-square corner, and make a client's kitchen look like it belongs in a magazine.

What You'll Do

Install all types of cabinetry — base, wall, vanity, utility, oven, built-ins, stacks, and more
Install toe kicks, fillers, and crown molding of various styles; adjust doors, level, shim, and install hardware with precision
Complete full kitchen and bath installations as directed by the Project Manager or Lead Carpenter
Assist with job walk-throughs, material take-offs, and scheduling deliveries
Verify material deliveries for accuracy before signing off
Read layouts and drawings, and problem-solve fit issues on the fly
Take on other carpentry work as needed — light framing, flooring, drywall, demo
Coordinate with other trades on-site so everyone's work stays on schedule
Help train and mentor other carpenters on the crew
Keep jobsites clean, organized, and safe
Log project photos and daily updates in our project management software (BuilderTrend)

What We're Looking For

5+ years of trim carpentry experience
5+ years of remodeling experience
5+ years of cabinet installation experience
Own tools and know how to use them — power tools and hand, and know which one the job calls for
Sharp eye for detail — level, plumb, and square aren't optional
Strong work ethic; honest, punctual, and dependable
Excellent customer service — comfortable working in occupied, high-end homes
Able to work well independently and as part of a crew
Valid driver's license and willingness to travel to jobsites across VA, MD & DC
