“Even during a downturn in the economy, the company always kept me working. Never had a lack of work.”

“I’ve never had to worry about pay. I’ve never had to worry about work.”

“You have to build up endurance. Move the lumber, wrap the Tyvek. The sooner you get that done, the sooner you can move on to the job you like. It is a very rewarding job because you can see what you have done.”

“Commercial work is more impersonal. I would rather build a house. It feels like it makes more of a difference for people. There are steady hours and plenty of work.”

“Employees here gain value by showing up and doing good work. Establish yourself and you have strong future.”
