They typically carry materials, use basic hand tools, and help ensure the installation is done safely and according to specifications.

$17 - $24/hr

Job description

Do you want to learn a craft that almost nobody knows how to do anymore?
We're hiring Window Restoration Technicians to learn historic wood sash and door restoration, the kind of work that keeps 100-year-old buildings standing for another 100 years.
No historic window or door experience required.
What we're looking for is hands-on skill we can build on, attention to detail, and a willingness to travel for a week or two at a time to incredible historic sites across the Southeast.


About Double Hung


Double Hung was founded in 1997 for a stubborn reason: our founder, David Hoggard, was tired of watching well-built windows and doors get torn out and thrown away. Nearly thirty years later, we're one of the most trusted restoration partners to general contractors, homeowners, municipalities, and developers across the Southeast. From the Supreme Court of Virginia in Richmond to the Birth Home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Atlanta, Moses Cone Manor in Blowing Rock, university campuses across the Carolinas and Virginia, and neighborhoods throughout North Carolina, our work touches some of the most remarkable buildings still standing today.


Your Starting Pay Reflects What You Bring
- Hands-on skill in trim or finish carpentry, cabinetry/woodworking, or restoration/preservation: **$20–$22+/hour** to start. You won't have done historic windows before, almost nobody has, but these skills transfer directly, and we pay for them.
- Construction or manufacturing background, ready to learn the craft from the ground up: **$17–$18/hour** to start.
Either way, we train you fully in historic sash and door work, and your pay grows as your skills do.


A Day in the Life


Some weeks you're in our Greensboro shop, stripping lead paint off a 1920s sash, learning to consolidate rotted wood with epoxy, glazing pane after pane until you get it right. Other weeks you're on-site at a historic federal courthouse, removing original sash, repairing frames, and reinstalling them after our shop crew has brought them back to life.
You'll work with hand tools, power tools, respirators, and lead-safe practices, all of which we'll train you on. You'll travel for 1–2 weeks at a time, with regular stretches at home between projects.
You're not living on the road, you're visiting historic sites and helping bring them back to life.


Who You Are


- You bring real hands-on skill: trim/finish carpentry, woodworking, cabinetry, finishing, general construction, or manufacturing/fabrication
- You take pride in doing things the right way, even when nobody's watching
- You're reliable, you show up, and you work clean
- You can lift 50 lbs, climb a ladder, and stay on your feet through the day
- You have a valid driver's license and a clean driving record
- You're comfortable being away from home for 1–2 weeks at a time
- Any experience on residential or commercial/institutional job sites is a plus
- Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus, many of our crews and job sites benefit from it


What You'll Earn
- $17 – $22/hour to start, based on the skills and experience you bring.
- Company-paid lodging on every overnight travel project, plus a tax-free meal per diem
- Your EPA RRP Lead-Safe Certified Renovator credential, paid for by us
- Paid training
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off + paid holidays
- Retirement plan
- Tool reimbursement and purchase program


Where This Can Go
This is a craft you grow into, not a dead-end job.
The people who put in the work move from entry to skilled restoration craftsperson, training the next person and growing toward our senior and master roles. We build craftspeople, and we promote from within.
