A Virginia native, J.P. Carlton grew up in Richmond and attended Old
Dominion University. During his college years, J.P. double majored in
accounting and finance while working full time as a project manager
for a general contractor. These useful skills gained from schooling
and real-world experience helped him secure a job right out of college
with Pro Window, Inc. With the help of their newest employee, the
exterior maintenance company—based in Virginia Beach—tripled its revenue!
Eventually, J.P. had an “entrepreneurial itch” and designed Carlton
Building Services with support from his wife Holly and their kids,
Sophia and Luke. The firm is currently headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia.
