Experienced Deck Carpenter | Growth Opportunity
Advanced Custom Decks | Columbia, CT
You're probably not looking for just another construction job.
You take pride in doing quality work.
You enjoy building something that's going to last.
You want to work with people who care about the finished product just as much as you do.
Maybe you're tired of job sites where there's too much ego, people cut corners, or nobody seems to care about doing things right.
That's not what we're building.
At Advanced Custom Decks, we build custom decks and outdoor living spaces that families will enjoy for years to come. Just as important, we're building a team of people who enjoy working together and take pride in what they accomplish.
We don't expect perfection.
We do expect people who care, who are willing to learn, and who want to get a little better every day.

You don't need years of deck-building experience to succeed here.
We'll teach you our systems, installation methods, and the details that make our projects stand out.
What matters most is that you bring solid carpentry skills, a strong work ethic, and a team-first mindset.
As our company grows, there will be opportunities to take on greater responsibility and grow into leadership for the right person.

This Role Probably Isn't For You If...
