I wanted you to know that Tom Jones met our Eddie at the store, the very day they talked on the phone! He also had the various subs come out to look at their needed repairs. We all are very impressed and pleased. Not only did this gentleman build a very nice product, he's taking the trouble to make sure everything needed is done right. Personally, I would ask him to build another building in a heartbeat, I hope we get the opportunity.

Link has worked with Carrera since 2019 and has established a deep working relationship centered on trust. Scot Schwertman and Carrera Construction treat our customers within our portfolio with great care. Carrera’s knowledge base on Tenant Improvement projects and other complex capital projects is second to none within the Cincinnati market and beyond. Carrera strives to deliver a quality product on-time, within budget, and to the highest specifications. Carrera Construction should be considered on all construction needs. We highly recommend them on any project.
