Meet the Masters.
Our master carpenters are highly trained in specifically building Casas de Luz homes. They will be on all builds to guide the team and teach basic building skills. We typically have one master carpenter who is in charge of the walls and another who is in charge of the roof. Sometimes we bring extra carpenters to have more fun!
