Tom Parker

Started as a tool repair specialist before learning framing. His mechanical knowledge made him valuable for maintaining the company's equipment while working as a framer. Has been with Budget Framing since 2019.

Experience: Highly experienced with 15 years in framing (7/10)

Favorite Jobs

• Tool maintenance
• Complex cuts
• Equipment training

Good tools make good work possible. I might not be the fastest framer, but I keep our equipment running when others' tools fail.

Physical Condition

Experiencing joint problems in hands from years of tool work, takes frequent breaks to manage condition.

Favorite Place

Tom's happy place is his tool restoration workshop in his garage. He's filled it with vintage carpentry tools he's restored, and uses it to maintain the company's equipment. The space serves as both a functional workshop and a museum of construction tool history, which he loves showing to younger workers.
