Job description

About Us

New Life Bath & Kitchen is the remodel division of New Life Painting, a family‑owned company on the Central Coast since 1978. We do high‑quality kitchen and bathroom remodels for homeowners who care about craftsmanship and customer experience. Our values are simple: Communication, Collaboration, Respect, Trust, Fun, and Love. We mean them, and we hire for them.

The Role

We're looking for a carpenter with 2–3 years of real‑world remodel experience to join our K&B crew. Our carpenters touch every part of a remodel, from demo through final punch. You'll work alongside a small, tight team led by foremen who care about doing the job right.

What You’ll Do

• Install cabinets and built‑ins
• Run finish carpentry and trim work, baseboards, casing, and crown molding
• Handle basic framing for wall changes, soffits, and structural adjustments
• Hang and fit doors and windows
• Basic electrical experience
• Tile installation
• Waterproofing
• Understand plumbing and perform minor plumbing tasks
• Communicate clearly with the foreman, the customer, and the office

What We’re Looking For

• 2–3+ years hands‑on remodel or finish carpentry experience
• Familiarity with all of the above — you don’t need to be an expert in everything, but you should be able to hold your own across cabinet install, trim, framing, doors/windows, tile, and basic plumbing awareness
• Reliable transportation, valid CA driver’s license, and your own hand tools
• Respectful in customers' homes — we work in occupied houses, and how you carry yourself matters
• A team player who shows up, communicates, and takes pride in the work

What We Offer

• $24–$35/hour based on experience
• Paid holidays and PTO
• Health benefits
• A real career path
• A company that gives back through Paint It Forward, our local charity program
• A crew that actually likes working together
