Built on Experience. Focused on Real Estate.
I’m Al Garrido, a real estate investor with more than 25 years of hands-on construction experience.
From custom homes and log homes to commercial retail and restaurant projects, I’ve spent my career understanding how buildings come together.
Today, I bring that experience to real estate investing—evaluating properties, solving problems, and creating opportunities.
The project photos below highlight examples of my past construction work. Images marked with an asterisk (*) are representative images and are not photographs of my actual projects.

My transition into commercial construction included working as a union carpenter and later serving as a job superintendent on retail and commercial projects in markets around the country. My work at the newly constructed Mall at Wellington Green was one of many projects during that chapter of my career.
