RESIDENTIAL REMODELING
Residential remodeling has become an essential part of the
construction industry. Remodelers add living space to existing
homes and retrofit homes to modern conveniences and updated
building codes. Remodeling can be done not only for cosmetic
purposes but also for structural reasons, as well as to increase the
energy efficiency of older homes.
Jobs available in the residential remodeling field include but
are not limited to carpenters; painters; drywall and ceiling tile
installers; roofers; woodworkers; kitchen and bath remodelers;
siding, roofing, and aluminum installers; and flooring specialists.
Upon graduation, students of the Residential Remodeling
program will have a number of different opportunities available.
In addition to working in their field, graduates will also have
the chance to continue their education in areas such as project
management, technical education, residential designer, civil
engineering, and structural engineering degrees. Advanced
opportunities as crew leaders, supervisors, assistant supervisors,
superintendents and small business owners may also be possible
for graduates of the program.
