But lately…or for years, it sure feels like you do.
Your alarm goes off and before your feet hit the floor, you’re already thinking about the jobsite. Did the plumber show? Did the inspector call? Did the homeowner text overnight? You check your phone — yep, two messages and a missed call.
By the time you get to "work", you’ve already made three decisions, ordered material, and solved a problem — and you haven’t even picked up a tool yet.
You’re the Marketing company, salesman, and estimator. You’re the project manager. You’re the scheduler. You’re the materials runner. You’re customer service/ HR. And somehow… you’re still expected to build all day. Oh and don't forget the accounts receivable since you also play accountant.
Lunch is non-existent because someone needs an answer. Dinner gets interrupted because something went wrong. Your family knows the look when your phone buzzes.
Then one week the truck breaks down… and suddenly it’s not just stressful — you’re wondering how the bills get paid this month or put food on the table for your family.
You still love building. You just don’t love carrying an entire company of one on your shoulders.
Imagine a different workday.
You pull up to the jobsite and the material is already there. There’s a clear plan. The schedule makes sense. Someone else handled the logistics.
You grab your tools and actually… build.
At Boxer Construction NW, that’s the point. We built the systems so you can focus on craftsmanship again — not late‑night problem solving.
You’re still the lead. You still run the job. But you don’t run the business alone anymore.
What your day actually looks like
You lead the project in the field — not from your couch at 9:30 PM.
You: • Handle layout, *minor framing, and structural changes • Install cabinets, doors, trim, and finish carpentry • Set tile from time to time(showers, floors, backsplashes) • Hang and patch drywall • Do paint and final detail work • Guide helpers and maintain quality • Coordinate trades *when they arrive • Update the PM during the day — not homeowners at night.
You don’t: • Estimate jobs • Sell projects • Chase payments • Order every piece of material after hours • Carry financial risk on your back
What changes for you-
You leave work and your brain actually shuts off. You eat dinner with your family, without jobsite calls. You take a day off and the project still moves forward. You get to be proud of your work again instead of exhausted by it.
What you get-
A real paycheck — salary, every other week, Healthcare + dental + life insurance Paid time off (actually spend time with your family). A company vehicle, Year‑round consistent work and a true team behind you instead of just you and a truck.
You got into this trade because you like building things that matter. Not because you wanted to run a one‑man company forever.
If you’re an experienced remodeling Lead Carpenter who still cares about craftsmanship but wants a life outside the jobsite — let’s talk.
