About Winston Brown

Winston Brown is an established design-build remodeling company serving Topeka, Lawrence, and the Kansas City area. Since 1974, we have built our reputation on quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and lasting relationships with our clients.

Our team brings architectural planning, interior design, and skilled construction together under one roof. We specialize in whole-home renovations, kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and custom homes.

About the Position

We are looking for an experienced, dependable Remodeling Carpenter to join our construction team.

This position is ideal for someone who takes pride in quality workmanship, enjoys a variety of projects, and has the skills to work independently while contributing to a team.

You will work alongside our project managers, carpenters, and trade partners to complete high-quality residential remodeling projects.

The ideal candidate is skilled, organized, professional, and committed to delivering an exceptional experience for our homeowners.
