A Lineage of Craft
Founder Mo Karnage grew up in the woodchips of Hanover County. The family trade runs deep: Mo’s father and grandfather operated cabinetry and millwork companies, and the family heritage stretches back to the founding of Caravati’s Architectural Salvage.
After years of navigating the industry, Karnage Construction was founded to bridge the gap between historic preservation and modern progressive values. We specialize in the hurdles of historic property ownership—navigating the Richmond Architectural Review Board and the State Department of Historic Resources with the same precision we apply to a custom built-in.
We are not just building houses; we are preserving the character of Richmond while creating career opportunities for those often excluded from the trades.
