Jim Earle founded Carmel Valley Home Improvement in 2004 after a successful career in financial services. After twelve years as a stockbroker, Jim wanted to do something more meaningful. He says, “As a broker, you make money when you make trades, whether it’s in the client’s best interest or not.”
He chose to become a contractor because, he says, “When you improve a person’s home, you improve the quality of their life. When your house is nice, it makes everything in your life run better.”
A former US Army Ranger, who went into the military as an enlisted man after high school, Jim went on to graduate from San Diego State with a degree in business.
He lives near Torrey Pines High School. His wife Sherri is a substitute teacher, and they have two sons, in 4th and 7th grades in the Solana Beach public schools.
Jim volunteers with the YMCA Indian Guides program. He spent a year as Indian Guide Nation Chief running monthly camp outs for over 200 fathers and sons. Rumor has it that Jim used his construction skills to craft a giant wooden mallet and smashed watermelons Gallagher style for a cheering crowd of seven to ten-year-old boys.
Watermelons and giant mallets aside, Jim is a true construction professional. He and his team of professional tradesmen are dedicated to getting your job done on time and within budget. See what our customers say about us.
