Carpenter
About The Position
Dover Doors & Windows is seeking an experienced Carpenter to join our Exterior Home Improvement Division. This position focuses primarily on residential siding installation but will also include the installation of replacement windows and entry doors. We are looking for a skilled craftsman who takes pride in their work, values quality over quantity, and is committed to delivering exceptional results that exceed customer expectations. This is not a production installer position. We are seeking an individual who understands the importance of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and representing the reputation that Dover Doors & Windows has built since 1936.
Requirements
- Minimum 5 years of verifiable experience in residential exterior remodeling, including siding, window, and door installation.

- Strong siding installation skills and understanding of proper installation techniques.

Nice To Haves
- The ideal candidate is more than an installer—they are a craftsman. We are not looking for someone who simply puts siding on houses. We want an individual who takes pride in every detail, understands that proper finishing is just as important as installation, and consistently delivers a finished product that reflects the quality and reputation of Dover Doors & Windows. If you are passionate about quality workmanship, take pride in your craft, and want to be part of a company with nearly 90 years of excellence, we encourage you to apply.
