BUILD WITH THE BEST
Canopy Builders was founded in 2013 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 in the St. Petersburg area, including full Design Build custom homes, our popular Pre-Designed homes, and For-Sale Townhome Projects. Canopy’s focus is on integrity, honesty, and quality of construction and design. We aim to expand upon the craft and legacy of the neighborhoods in which we build, while providing a personalized service to all of our clients.
In December 2022, Canopy Builders joined forces with another leading St. Petersburg based builder, Brick Street Homes. After founding and running a successful home building company, Katie and Tony Mullersman of Brick Street Homes joined Canopy Builders as Managing Partners, to continue the tradition of superior architecture and quality craftsmanship. With this merge, Canopy Builders will be one of the largest custom home builders in the St. Petersburg area, allowing us to better serve our customers, employees and the neighborhoods we love and build in.
For over 11 years, Canopy Builders has delivered thoughtfully designed, high-quality homes throughout St. Petersburg. With over 300 homes completed by owners Ben Gelston and Tony Mullersman, our experience and commitment to the St Petersburg community set us apart.
We offer the personalized attention of a boutique builder, supported by a 25-person in-house team overseeing every aspect of the process—from land acquisition and estimating to construction, client care, and warranty service.
Each Project Manager brings an average of 15 years of luxury homebuilding experience, ensuring each home is built with care, efficiency, and attention to detail.
Our dedicated permitting team works directly with city officials to keep approvals moving smoothly and your project on schedule.
Led by Lauren Gelston, with over 20 years of experience designing multi-million dollar homes, our design team blends timeless architecture with modern functionality tailored to the St. Petersburg lifestyle.
Before move-in, every home undergoes a comprehensive quality review led by our Warranty Manager to ensure it meets Canopy’s high standards.
From contract to closing, our team provides clear communication and support. Post-closing, our in-house warranty team continues that service with responsive follow-up.
We work with a select group of proven contractors who know our expectations and consistently deliver exceptional craftsmanship.
Canopy’s financial stability and tested experience allows us to stay ahead of supply chain challenges, manage timelines, and maintain construction quality—ensuring peace of mind for every homeowner.
Our homes are known and respected throughout the city for their quality, design, and resale value. A Canopy home is a smart investment and a place you’ll be proud to call home.
TRUST
I have complete confidence in Canopy Builders, which is why I chose them to build my home in Old Northeast. Having previously experienced the stress of building homes for myself, I knew the importance of finding a trustworthy builder who stands by their work. After thorough research, building with Canopy was the best choice. They have a stellar reputation, a strong team of knowledgeable project managers, top-notch designers and tradesmen. The process went smoothly, our home was completed on time and within budget. My family and I are absolutely thrilled with our Canopy-built home, and I am confident that you will be too!
