Meet the REDBUD Team
At REDBUD Construction Services, we like to think that with proper planning and professional execution you can accomplish anything…but sometimes you have to get lucky. REDBUD got very lucky when we recently convinced Cara Knapp to join our team as a Project Manager. Cara grew up in West New Field, Maine (but we don’t hold that against her), and earned her Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Norwich University in Vermont (again…we don’t hold that against her). Cara has lived …

If so, …

REDBUD recently completed a small master bathroom project where we installed tile floors, crown molding, and a fresh paint job. The project was pretty straight forward with no surprises, and we completed it in about a week. The picture to the right shows how paying attention to the details can make all the difference. Many times the toilet supply line comes through the wall close …
