Canopy Builders LLC was founded in 2014 by Ben and Lauren Gelston, with the express purpose of building beautiful homes reminiscent of the Low Country of Lauren’s native South Carolina. Ben’s years of residential real estate development and general contracting experience combined with Lauren’s design talent and extensive experience working for several leading home builders in the Tampa Bay area formed the perfect partnership for realizing the vision of Canopy Builders.
From those beginnings, Canopy has expanded into many kinds of architectural and project types, including full Design Build custom homes, our popular Pre-Designed homes, and For-Sale Townhome Projects, always with an emphasis on integrity, honesty, and quality of construction and design.
