How much do entry level carpenter jobs pay per hour?
What Does an Entry-Level Carpenter Do?
As an entry-level carpenter, you work with wood to build things like furniture, structures, artwork, and window and door framing. Your duties have you working with hand and power tools and selecting proper materials for each job. You receive instruction verbally and through blueprints. Your responsibilities include the assembly of new products, as well as the repair or demolition of existing items. You drill, sand, cut, and construct a project based on client requirements. As an entry-level carpenter, you may stand for long periods of time and carry heavy materials, so physical stamina is crucial.

What is the difference between Entry Level Carpenter vs Apprentice Carpenter?
| Aspect | Entry Level Carpenter | Apprentice Carpenter |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | High school diploma or equivalent; some may have vocational training | Enrolled in apprenticeship program, combining on-the-job training with classroom instruction |
| Work Environment | Construction sites, residential and commercial projects | Same as Entry Level Carpenter, often working under supervision |
| Employer & Industry Usage | General construction companies, remodeling firms | Construction companies, union programs, trade schools |
While both roles involve working on construction sites and require similar credentials, an Entry Level Carpenter is typically someone starting out with basic skills, whereas an Apprentice Carpenter is actively enrolled in a formal training program to develop carpentry skills under supervision. The apprentice role often leads to becoming a fully qualified carpenter.
