Class Code 5645 Rates & Quotes

Carpentry – Detached One or Two Family Dwellings

Class code 5645 is used for employees who perform all carpentry and siding installation work in the construction of a single or double occupancy residential dwelling (three stories high or less) under the contractor or general contractor responsible for the entire construction project. Work would include construction of the sill, rough framing, rough flooring, studs and joists (made of wood or light-gauge steel), rafters and roof deck, all roofing materials, sidewall sheathing, siding, doors, wallboard installation, lathing, windows, stairs, finished flooring, cabinet installation, fencing, decking, interior wood trim, and construction of any detached structures. All types of siding installation are also included, such as aluminum, cedar shingle, composite or engineered wood, seamless steel, vinyl, and traditional wood. In addition, the repair or remodeling of a carpentry nature to residential structures is also included within this classification, as long as there is framing or structural carpentry renovation and not simply interior or exterior trim and beautification work. Finally, class code 5645 is also used to classify those employees that perform carpentry work in connection with the moving or raising of a building.

Exclusions to this class code would be anyone performing carpentry work or siding installation on buildings taller than three stories or that are not considered residential dwellings and anyone who performs remodel or repair work that has no structural or framing involved with it. For example, renovation of a kitchen that requires wallboard replacement, finished flooring work, and cabinet installation would not be structural in nature and would be excluded. When classifying workers to this class code, it is also important to follow the extra-territorial classification guidelines for each worker to ensure that they are properly classified.
