Types of carpentry work | Part 2

Carpenters can specialize in one or two types or subtype of carpentry where they continue to hone their skills. Some of the types of carpentry work include:

4️⃣ Cabinet carpentry

Cabinet makers specialize in carpentry that focuses on building cabinets for kitchens, laundry rooms, bathrooms and other areas of a building. Cabinet makers can also focus on building other furniture that involves woodworking, such as patio furniture and indoor furniture sets.

5️⃣ Ship carpentry

Ship carpenters primarily focus on shipbuilding. They can ensure that ships meet all client demands, both structurally and in appearance. Shipbuilders may construct replicas of previously built ships, while others focus on building modern-day ship portions for cruise liners, freight ships or smaller boats.

6️⃣ Framer

Framers exclusively build framing for housing or other buildings. The difference between a framer and a rough carpenter is that a framer specializes in only framework and is often individually hired for lone projects or on a contract.

7️⃣ Roofer

Roofers specialize in planning, building and maintaining the rafters, trusses and beams involved in a building's roof construction. They can ensure that roofs, inside and out, are structurally sound to maintain a durability factor required by clients. Roofers specialize in roof related carpentry only, unlike rough carpenters, who may work on both framing and roofing simultaneously.


replica = 1. an exact copy or model of something, especially one on a smaller scale; 2. a duplicate of an original artistic work
