KAREN CARTER, OWNER

I have run my own contracting business for over 30 years.  I bring a variety of knowledge and experience to my work including several years as an Accessibility Specialist designing and constructing wheelchair ramps and other mobility modifications through the Center for Independent living in Berkeley, CA. 

Currently I hold a MA Construction Supervisors License, am an EPA Certified Lead  Paint Renovator and I have been certified as a Building Analyst and Envelope Specialist through The Building Performance Institute (BPI).  I am knowledgeable in the detailing required to make a building perform well and last a long time. Over the years, I have completed course work in architectural drafting and design as well as both home inspection and building inspection. 

My experience is that collaboration brings everyone’s expertise to the table and is the most effective way to carry a project smoothly from start to finish.  I value the perspective and input of sub-contractors and customers alike and encourage a close working relationship.  The Pioneer Valley is a beautiful place to live and work and I am lucky to be located here.
