By Carrier

7 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 10, ISSUE 3 BY CARRI ER In the 1960s, six of the Carrier brothers moved to Connecticut to apply their trade and experience. The company started by just completing framing contracts, but eventually, they would begin to build homes. The years were kind, and the brothers had their own families. This meant over time, some of the uncles broke off to form their own businesses with their children. Eventually, second and third generations were also part of the businesses. In the mid-2000s, all the Carriers decided to join forces. By Carrier is an umbrella company that now houses all the uncles’ businesses under one roof. This means the Carrier family now offers a full-service company. By Carrier is a company that provides old-school craftsmanship with new-world know-how when building energy-smart (green) homes that help minimize energy costs and environmental impacts.
