Paid Remodeling Apprenticeship
The Mosby Remodeling Academy is a 3.5-year paid apprenticeship where you’re a full-time employee from day one. You’ll work on real projects alongside experienced remodelers who are invested in your growth. Each month, you’ll build new skills through hands-on training in our dedicated facility—then apply them on the job with guidance from a seasoned professional. There’s no upfront tuition. Stay with Mosby for two years after graduation, and your tuition is fully covered. By the end of the program, you’re not starting out—you’re a skilled remodeler with a clear career path.
Built around the real work of remodeling.
Remodeling is one of the most complex things you can do in construction. Every project is different. Every home has surprises. The best remodelers aren’t just skilled with their hands — they know how to think, sequence, adapt, and work with other people. That’s what this program trains. Not just the technical skills, but the judgment and professionalism that make someone genuinely good at this work.
Jobsite Foundations
Before anything else, you learn to work safely and professionally in occupied homes. You'll build the habits, standards, and instincts that every good remodeler carries every day.
Framing & Structural Work
You'll learn to frame walls, floors, and ceilings in the context of existing homes where conditions are never perfect.
Drywall & Interior Finish
From hanging and fastening through taping, finishing, and repair, you'll develop the eye and the hand for a surface that's truly ready for paint.
Doors & Trim Carpentry
Interior doors, pocket doors, casing, baseboard. These are the finish details that define how a room feels when the project is done.
Kitchens & Bathrooms
The heart of residential remodeling. You'll learn how kitchens and bathrooms come together: waterproofing, substrates, cabinets, fixtures, and everything in between.
Advanced Finish Work
Crown molding is one of the most demanding and rewarding finish skills in residential remodeling.
Cabinet Installation & Detailing
Cabinet work requires layout precision, leveling discipline, and the ability to scribe and fit to irregular conditions, through final hardware adjustment and integration with surrounding finishes.
Window & Door Installation
Installing windows and doors correctly requires precision, attention to weatherproofing details, and an understanding of how the surrounding assembly works together.
Client Service & Professionalism
You're working in someone's home. That means communication, respect, and professionalism matter as much as the work itself.
