Kris Sawyer is not your average general contractor. Although she has an unrestricted Construction Supervisor License, a Home Improvement Contractor Registration and over 20 years of experience in the remodeling industry, it is her background in art that she credits with her ability to bring creative ideas to the remodeling process.

The granddaughter of a cabinet maker and daughter of a structural engineer, she remembers tinkering alongside her grandfather in his workshop and later, working on projects with her father who built her childhood home in Marblehead. Kris attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where she studied sculpture, design, painting and drawing, and spent a year and a half in Henley, England studying sculpture and design.

Kris combines her practical experience in the construction field with her strong sense of design to create a true collaboration with her clients and trade partners. Redlands Construction's creative, collaborative process and strong project management is essential to our success in bringing our clients' visions to reality.

As COO of a national company for 15 years, and with a graduate degree in communications from Boston University, Julie Povall brings a wealth of experience in client services and operations to Redlands Construction's remodeling process.

Julie knows that a successful remodeling project starts with understanding the clients' goals, careful preparation, and excellent communication. Having a good pre-project planning process and setting realistic expectations is essential. Once the project begins and a project schedule has been established, Julie works closely with Kris to ensure that our clients' needs and concerns are addressed promptly at each step of the process.
