Byggmeister is hiring for TWO positions: Lead Carpenter and Experienced Carpenter.

We’re looking for skilled craftspeople who take pride in their work, enjoy solving problems, and want to be part of a collaborative team that’s passionate about building better homes.

As a worker-owned, woman-led design-build firm, we offer more than a job site. You’ll find a supportive team, opportunities to learn and grow, great benefits, and a shared commitment to quality craftsmanship and environmentally responsible building.

Sound like a good fit? We’d love to hear from you!

AeroBarrier sealant and orange spray foam are getting us ready for Halloween and the winter cold! 🎃

Spiders tend to spin their webs near air leaks, and when AeroBarrier is applied, the sealant travels to those leaks, sometimes building up on the webs along the way. The result? A spooky-looking house with fewer air leaks and better preparation for the cold months ahead.

A renovation doesn’t have to mean stretching your budget to its limit. Thoughtful planning can help you make the most of the investment you’re making in your home.

In our latest blog, we’re sharing practical strategies for remodeling on a budget, from setting priorities and working with your existing footprint to keeping the scope focused, making design and budget decisions together, and leaving room for the unexpected.

A three-season porch was transformed into a year-round sunroom, creating a brighter, more comfortable connection to the outdoors.

We raised the porch floor to align with the rest of the first floor, then increased the wall thickness from 4 to 12 inches to accommodate additional insulation. The walls, floor, and roof were all insulated, and new triple-pane windows and glass doors bring in natural light and offer views of the surrounding woods without sacrificing comfort.

The result is a warm, light-filled space that brings the outdoors into everyday life while supporting the home’s high-performance goals.

At Byggmeister, we believe women deserve equal opportunities to lead, build, and thrive in the workplace. We’re proud to put that belief into action as a woman-led, worker-owned company, with Rachel White serving as our CEO and women contributing their talent and expertise across our team.

That’s why we’re excited to share that Byggmeister has joined the Boston Women's Workforce Council's 100% Talent Compact, a commitment to closing the wage gap and removing the visible and invisible barriers to women's advancement.

Women belong at every level of the workforce, including in leadership and in the trades. We’re proud to be part of a collective effort to make a place where women’s work is valued, their contributions are recognized, and their opportunities are not limited by gender.

What does it look like to be part of Team Byggmeister? 🔨

It’s working alongside people who are passionate about their craft, sharing ideas and solving problems together, and learning from one another along the way. It’s having the support of a team that wants you to succeed, the opportunity to keep growing in your work, and a voice in the company as part of a worker-owned business.

It’s also being part of something bigger: helping homeowners create beautiful, comfortable, energy-efficient homes that are built to last.

We’re looking for an Experienced Carpenter and Lead Carpenter to join our team. If this sounds like the kind of workplace you’d thrive in, we’d love to hear from you!

A smart design move can create more space without adding square footage. Here, replacing the steep existing stairs to the third floor with a beautifully crafted spiral staircase eliminated the need for a dormer, which would have added significant cost and complexity.

The new stair creates a stronger sense of connection between the floors while preserving valuable space. Now properly insulated and heated/cooled with a minisplit heat pump, the third floor is home to a cozy bedroom and comfortable home office.

Remodeling old homes means working with, and around, the challenges that already exist. Here, Lead Carpenter Francis is detailing a new window where an old bay window once stood. Working around heat pump piping and multiple layers of siding makes the job a little trickier, but that’s nothing new for the Byggmeister crew!
