About The Position

We are currently hiring Flooring Carpenters in Satellite Beach, FL for upcoming projects. Pay is $30 per hour based on experience and skillset. The Flooring Carpenter is responsible for replacing flooring & shelving for commercial setting. This role focuses on precision craftsmanship and preparing materials for installation.

Requirements

5+ years of experience within flooring.
Ability to stand, kneel, bend, and lift heavy materials (often 50 to 100 pounds) regularly.
Proficiency in measuring, calculating angles, and estimating geometric areas.
Mastery of power tools, tape measures, levels, and specialized flooring tools (e.g., floor nailers, trowels, miter saws).

Responsibilities

Safely remove and dispose of old flooring, carpeting, nails, and staples.
Inspect the subfloor for damage, rot, or unevenness. Sand, patch, or replace wooden boards as necessary to ensure a solid foundation.
Sweep and vacuum the work area to ensure a completely clean, debris-free surface for adhesion or nailing.
Use hand tools, power saws, and specialty cutters to accurately size materials for corners, doorways, and fixtures.
Install flooring using appropriate methods—nailing, stapling, or gluing. For interlocking floors (like laminate or vinyl planks), they snap and lock pieces together securely.
Tap, glue, or heat-seam materials together to prevent curling, lifting, or frayed edges.
Measure and install transition strips, thresholds, baseboards, and quarter-round to cover expansion gaps and create a polished look.
For raw wood or specialty flooring, sand the surface until smooth and apply stains, sealants, or varnishes for protection and aesthetic appeal.
Adhere to job-site safety rules, which often include operating personal protective equipment (PPE) and maintaining a clean work environment to minimize hazards.
