About
Colin Karlen grew up in Rougemont. As a young adult, he left for Bienne to train at the Swiss School of Wood and become a joiner-carpenter. Once he graduated, he returned to his native region where he learned tavillonnage from a retired expert. In 1994, he set up his own carpentry, joinery and roofing business, which today employs around ten people.
Timber frame, chalet construction, carpentry, roofing and facade: nothing is a secret for Colin Karlen. But his specialty is shingling, which represents about 20% of his activity. Its clientele, which comes mainly from the region, is made up of private individuals and public institutions. He restored the roof of the Château-D’Oex bell tower and the roof of the Rubloz chalet in Rougemont.
