Ron Carey has over 40 years of home building in the Caribbean and the United States. With his first-hand knowledge of building and managing construction projects, he knows how to handle the increased challenges to home building and the increased cost of owning a home. His motivation is to make home-ownership a possibility for the average family.
“Residential building is becoming more complex with an unreliable supply chain, longer times to complete a home, the increased cost of labor and materials. These issues are compounded when building on an island. I want to offer housing options that are modern, durable and affordable. My goal is to make the dream of owning a home a reality”
Homes Built to Last
In the Caribbean, we co-exist with the beauty of mother nature. That means we also experience the heightened effects of climate conditions: from earthquakes and hurricanes to mold and termites.
We Serve the Caribbean and East Coast of the United States.
We have over 40 years experience building with hurricane resistant steel from New Jersey to Florida to the US Virgin Islands.
