They lose it on the corners and the finish.<\/p>\n<p>Inside corners get coped, because a coped joint holds when framing moves and a miter opens up. Outside corners want a test cut, since no wall is a true 90. Old floors slope, so long runs get scribed.<\/p>\n<p>Then comes the half that is not carpentry. Fill the holes, caulk every joint, sand, prime the cut ends, paint. On a repaint, add pulling the old base and patching what comes off with it.<\/p>\n<h2>What the labor side pays<\/h2>\n<p>Carpenters posted a May 2025 national median of $29.12 an hour and a mean of $31.55. The 10th sits at $19.43 and the 90th at $48.03, across 670,090 jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Place moves it. The Hawaii mean is $42.06 and the Mississippi mean is $23.69. These are wages employers pay.
