Experienced Carpenter - Historic Restoration

Renaissance Historic Exteriors

Belvidere, IL • On-site

$25 - $45/hr

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, PTO

Re-posted 21 days ago

Job description

Historic restoration carpentry is a different discipline — and a dying art. We're keeping it alive.

The details that define a 19th-century building — the bracketed cornices, the six-over-six windows, the mortised sill plates, the hand-fit trim profiles — require a level of carpentry skill that the modern production market has no use for. We do. Our clients own buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, and they expect the work to honor the original builders.
This role is for a carpenter who has not only mastered the trade but takes genuine satisfaction in the craft. You'll have access to complex, rewarding work on landmark structures, backed by a team with the tools, materials, and expertise to execute at the highest level.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
  • Restore historic windows, wood siding, exterior trim, structural framing, and architectural millwork.
  • Replicate period-appropriate details from original profiles, drawings, or measured examples.
  • Apply traditional joinery methods — mortise & tenon, scarf joints, wooden pegs — where specifications require.
  • Assess wood deterioration and determine the appropriate repair or replacement approach.
  • Work alongside other specialty trades on multi-discipline historic restoration projects throughout the Midwest.
WHAT YOU BRING:
  • 5+ years of carpentry experience; strong finish and exterior carpentry skills are essential.
  • Capacity to produce consistent, high-quality work on complex and detailed scopes.
  • Preferred: direct historic restoration, window restoration, millwork, cabinetry, or timber framing experience.
  • A portfolio of work that reflects your standard — bring it.
WHY RENAISSANCE:
  • $25–$45/hr — rate reflects the rarity and value of your skills.
  • Health, Dental & Vision after 90 days. PTO. Paid holidays.
  • Travel per diem for project assignments.
  • Long-term career with a nationally recognized restoration company.
  • Your work will stand on landmark buildings for the next 100 years.
