President and CEW (Chief Executive Worker)
Bret discovered his passion for construction somewhere around the age of 7 with his first Lego set.
Though other interests fed his love to create like studying music all through the schooling years, he found he could completely express his creativity by designing and building homes.
Bret is the father of 3 children, the president of Carolina Builder Services and doesn't know when to quit working and stop to smell the roses, but he's getting there...

Rafa manages multiple projects making sure all of our jobs get done right, even if he has to do some of the work himself. He is also one of our chief project estimators and communicates very well with all of the Carolina Builder customers, especially being bi-lingual. He has been with the company for 14 years and is a key asset.
Rafa states, "As your Project Manager, I am personally involved on-site, ensuring that every weld, joint, and seal meets our 25 year legacy of quality."

TJ is the newest member of our Project Management team and has been with us for almost 5 years and comes on board with 6 prior years of PM experience in the South Florida construction industry.
TJ earned his bachelors degree in Criminal Justice & Law Enforcement at Florida Atlantic University where he also played college football.
This guy possesses the most positive "can do" attitude a person can have.

"Berto" has faithfully been with us going on 9 years now. He runs both Commercial and Residential jobs simultaneously while overseeing a crew of 20+ people at any given time.
This guy never stops moving and that's how he is always making things happen! (and his chihuahua is almost as fast as him!)

Greg has been a member of our Project Management team for 6 years with many prior years of experience in the construction industry. He previously owned his own construction company in central Florida.
Greg and his wife, Tonya, have always wanted to live here in the mountains, and finally decided to pull the plug on the large population rat race.

Tami is the glue for Carolina Builder Services and keeps things together and moving steadily with her organizational skills and an eye for creative detail pertaining to interior design.
Her smile brightens the room even as she is delivering a stern
"No, Bret is busy!"
Tami is also the loving mother of two autistic boys

Marcelino has been with the company for 18 years!
He is an authentic artisan. His tile work is at a master level as well as his custom stonework.
When he is finished working in your home, your fireplaces, kitchens, bathrooms, and anywhere he touches are true works of art.
He is THE model employee earning him the right to a valuable member of our family.
We a honored and privileged to have him.

Jennifer is our "bean counter". She is the one who keeps all the books balanced and monitoring our job costs to ensure everything stays in line.
