Built in Venice. Built for Florida.
Alkaren LLC is an owner-operated Venice contractor led by Karl Rafalo — built on a simple idea: be the contractor we wished we'd hired.
Local roots. Coastal expertise.
We build on the Gulf coast — and that matters. Florida homes need contractors who understand humidity, hurricane codes, stucco, tile roofing, and the realities of building in flood zones.
Most of our work comes from neighbor-to-neighbor referrals in Venice, Sarasota, Nokomis, Osprey and Englewood. We're picky about who we hire and how we leave your home at the end of each day.
Whether it's a panel swap or a ground-up custom build, we treat every job like it's the only one on the calendar.
Four things we never compromise on.
Craft first
We pick the right material and the right method — not the fastest one.
Licensed & insured
FL CGC license, general liability, and workers' comp on every project.
One team, end-to-end
Project manager, trades, and finish crew all under one roof.
Warrantied work
Up to 10-year workmanship warranty on remodels and new builds.
