Founded by the Celis family, our company was built on a simple belief: treat every client's project as if it were our own. Over the years, that commitment has allowed us to grow through referrals, repeated business, and long-standing relationships with clients who trust us to manage everything from routine maintenance to large-scale construction projects. Today, we continue to bring the same hands-on approach, attention to detail, and dedication to service that have defined our company since the beginning.
OUR STORY
BUILDING TRUST THROUGH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION
Paul Celis
President
"After 35 years in hospitality, restaurant management, and construction, I've learned that success always starts with putting the customer first. Over the years, I've watched customer service become less of a priority, and I knew there had to be a better way. That's what led us to start Celis Construction. We believe our clients deserve a partner who treats their project like it's their own. By taking the construction burden off owners and operations teams, we allow them to focus on what they do best: serving customers, growing their business, and driving profitability. Our job is to make the process as seamless as possible while delivering a quality project they can be proud of."
Construction is about more than buildings. It's about creating spaces where businesses grow, employees thrive, and communities are strengthened. Every project we take on is an opportunity to help our clients move forward with confidence, knowing they have a trusted partner by their side from planning through completion.
OUR VALUES
Honesty and consistency guide our actions and decisions. We strive to always do the right thing, take responsibility for our actions, and build trust through transparency, respect, and fairness in every relationship and every project.
Careful planning, organization, and execution allow us to maximize productivity while minimizing wasted time, money, and materials. We set clear goals, prioritize effectively, and continuously evaluate our processes to achieve successful outcomes.
Excellence, accuracy, and attention to detail are at the heart of every project. We work with skilled professionals who share our commitment to delivering dependable work and maintaining a high standard from start to finish.

Paul’s ability to help guide us in the construction process and remain in budget is specifically why we prefer to contact Paul with our needs. We have seen first-hand his ability to work with subcontractors to turn around projects in a timely manner.

At Celis Construction, quality of life extends to our employees, clients, and subcontractors. We take the stress of construction off our clients by keeping them informed, managing the details, and bringing solutions rather than problems. As a family-owned and operated boutique general contractor, we maintain close communication across our team, allowing our project managers, coordinators, and superintendents to effectively manage their projects while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Our experience in the fast-paced food and beverage industry has shaped our understanding of the importance of efficiency, communication, and balance for both our team and our clients.
OUR TEAM
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
When you work with Celis Construction, you have the support of a dedicated team that remains accessible throughout every stage of your project. We take pride in our attention to detail and continuously refine our construction processes to create a smooth, efficient experience. When challenges arise, our team takes ownership, finds solutions, and remains committed to seeing the project through to completion.
