I worked with Douglas. He walked me through the process and even provided some guidance for me on color and flooring. I can't thank Canelli and Douglas for everything they did for me. My rehab is beautiful, and i know an amazing tenant will love the work done by them. I highly recommend them and will work with Canelli and Douglas again in the near future. ### All 9 reviews **★★★★★ — Biswajit Mitra, Jan. 2025** > We had an outstanding experience with Cannelli Constructions! GianFranco and the entire crew were very nice through the entire process. > > Our home project was extensive and complex, involving the addition of new bathrooms, a mini kitchen/breakfast bar, front covered porch, back cover porch and an office on top of it that could be accessed from the 2nd floor. Despite the scale, they handled everything well. The crew they had were very good in everything they did. > > We made several changes and additions along the way, and they managed all the updates seamlessly. The pricing was really good and they helped in achieving everything we envisioned. The renovation was so seamless that even our friends and guests couldn’t tell where the updates began. > > We couldn’t be happier that we chose Cannelli Constructions and highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality work and exceptional service! **★★★★★ — Steph, Dec. 2023** > Canelli Construction has truly exceeded our expectations in every aspect! From the moment we started working with them, it was evident that they were a cut above the rest. What impressed us the most was their attentive nature - they listened to all of our concerns and not only addressed them but also offered valuable suggestions that put our minds at ease throughout the whole process of building our home addition. > > The dedication and hands-on approach of the owner, Gianfranco, is something to be admired. He takes personal ownership of every single detail, ensuring that each project is executed to perfection. Moreover, he surrounds himself with a team of project managers who are equally skilled, honest, and passionate about what they do. It's refreshing to work with professionals who genuinely care about delivering exceptional results. > > However, what truly set Canelli Construction apart for us was their outstanding staff. The builders who worked on our project were not only highly professional, but they were also incredibly engaged and communicative. They made sure to keep us informed every step of the way, promptly alerting us to any potential issues that arose during construction. This level of transparency and attention to detail gave us immense confidence and peace of mind. > > It's worth mentioning that we did thorough research before choosing Canelli Construction. We consulted with multiple builders, but it was Canelli who stood out from the rest. They not only identified issues with our building plans that others had missed but also presented a well-thought-out solution that surpassed our initial expectations. Their ability to troubleshoot and provide innovative solutions truly solidified our decision to work with them. > > In conclusion, I cannot recommend Canelli Construction enough. Their commitment to delivering impeccable build quality, combined with their unparalleled attention to detail, is simply outstanding. If you are looking for a construction company that goes above and beyond, look no further than Canelli Construction. They have proven themselves to be trustworthy, highly skilled, and an absolute pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Jen Hunt, Oct. 2023** > When shopping around for contractors, the common refrain was keeping our expectations low. "Contractors don't provide updates. You can't get them on the phone." "Workers don't show up when they're supposed to," they said. I'm so pleased that this was not our experience with Canelli Construction. They really are a cut above the rest. > > From the beginning, Douglas and Gianfranco were attentive and responsive. After coming to our home to discuss our project, they gave us a quote and proposal in a timely fashion. Once we agreed to the project and permits were approved, Douglas shared a clear schedule and communicated with us every step of the way. He always kept us apprised of when inspectors were coming, what work was being completed that day, and more. The workers are professional, courteous, kind, and neat. I want to give special praise to Manuel and Luis for the kitchen installation and painting, as well as to Juan for his meticulous tile work. They are absolutely wonderful, and we deeply appreciate their skill and hard work. The finished product is beautiful, and we are so proud of our home. > > Douglas and Gianfranco are dedicated to customer service and frequently check in to ensure their clients are happy and satisfied. They went above and beyond to make sure we got what we wanted and were pleased with the results. If you're looking for a contractor, do not hesitate to reach out to Canelli. You will be glad you did. **★★★★★ — Angela Latimer, Sept. 2023** > Honesty, Integrity, Professionalism, and Patience! These are the top 4 words I would use to describe GianFranco and his company, Canelli Construction. He took on my duplex renovation project which was in need of an experienced General Contractor and patiently worked with me through the issues we experienced with some of our subcontractors to ensure we passed all of our inspections. His honesty to ensure we were doing everything by code or above code truly demonstrated to me his integrity and professionalism to do the BEST job for me! I would highly recommend Canelli Construction for any future projects! **★★★★★ — John GRAY, Dec. 2021** > Working with Canelli Construction was a pleasure. We Worked with Gianfranco on a big renovation project for a residential and commercial project. The work is high quality and beautiful. Gianfranco is ethical, honest and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Canelli Construction ! **★★★★★ — nazguru, Dec. 2021** > I had a covered patio built with a provision to hang a daybed swing. Happy with the quality materials and attention paid to making it a strong structure. No corners were cut. Any logistical or weather related delays were promptly communicated and an updated schedule was provided. > > I built the swing myself without much experience and Mr. Canelli went out of his way to provide me with feedback and ideas even though this wasn’t part of his contract. While the contract included only installing the screw hooks, he also went a step further to help me hang the daybed swing. **★★★★★ — Tom, Dec. 2021** > Very professional and informative project was completed as promised and also was a head of time paid attention to detail and kept me informed I will definitely use them for any future projects **★★★★★ — Samantha Smith, Nov. 2021** > Canelli Construction remodeled our house and did a great job. We are really happy because they put so much passion in every single detail realizing what they promised and how it was going to look like. We definitely reccomend them not only for the excellent job that was done but also they respected tihe timeline and the quality of the materials listed on the estimate. > > They kept us updated and explained us everything that was going to be done. ## Selected projects - [Porch Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/porch-addition-pj-vj~6764629) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 5 - [Master Bathroom Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bathroom-renovation-pj-vj~6764646) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 7 - [Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~6764664) - Location: Mint Hill, NC - Photos: 4 - [Deck in the Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deck-in-the-woods-pj-vj~6764619) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 6 - [Garage Conversion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garage-conversion-pj-vj~6767561) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 8 - [Covered Porch Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/covered-porch-addition-pj-vj~6764634) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 8 - [Porch Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/porch-renovation-pj-vj~6764623) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 9 - [Deck Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deck-renovation-pj-vj~6777090) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 5 - [Apartment Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/apartment-renovation-pj-vj~6767563) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 11 - [Outdoor Kitchen & Porch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-kitchen-and-porch-pj-vj~6764631) - Location: Cornelius, NC - Photos: 11 - [Wood Ceiling Plank](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wood-ceiling-plank-pj-vj~6764663) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 6 - [Home Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-reno-pj-vj~6767568) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 10 - [Front Porch Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-porch-renovation-pj-vj~6764621) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 9 - [Bathroom Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-reno-pj-vj~6764640) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Bathroom Reno 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-reno-2-pj-vj~6764642) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Bathroom Reno 3](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-reno-3-pj-vj~6764644) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Art Studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/art-studio-pj-vj~7621544) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 1 - [Various](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/various-pj-vj~7615978) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-construction-pj-vj~7515132) - Location: Belmont, NC - Photos: 15 [See all 19 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/canelli-construction-pfvwus-pf~1296195397) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?** Yes, we are a fully licensed general contractor with an Unlimited License \#L.100085.
