🤝 Meet The Builder
Hi there, I’m Chelsea Thompson, and I believe your home should be a perfect reflection of you. My journey as a residential and roofing contractor started with a personal passion—the remodel of my own home in 2016. That experience taught me the power of a well-designed space, and ever since, I’ve been dedicated to helping others create homes that fit their unique lifestyles.
I approach every project with a blend of creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and a deep respect for quality craftsmanship. My educational background—a bachelor’s from the University of Florida and a master’s from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University—gives me a strong foundation in both design principles and efficient project management.
When I’m not busy bringing someone’s vision to life, you can find me recharging in nature and on the water, which constantly inspires my design work. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to the possibility of building your dream home with you.
