TWO DECADES. ONE PARTNERSHIP. OVER 1,000 HOMES BUILT.
Innovate Building isn't a corporation — it's a partnership between two builders who've worked side by side for over 20 years. When you hire us, you get Mendes and Daniel. Not a sales rep. Not a call center. The guys who actually build your home.
BUILT ON TRUST. BUILT TO LAST.
Mendes and Daniel have been building together for over two decades. In an industry where partnerships come and go, theirs has stood the test of time — just like the homes they build. That kind of stability, trust, and shared vision is exactly what you want in the people building your dream home.
MEET MENDES
40+ YEARS IN CONSTRUCTION — A FAMILY TRADITION
For Mendes, construction isn't just a career — it's a family legacy. He learned the trade from his father as a teenager, working job sites before most kids had their first part-time job. That hands-on education — framing walls, laying foundations, finishing trim — gave him something no classroom ever could: an instinct for quality that's been refined over four decades.
With over 40 years of experience, Mendes is the backbone of every Innovate Building project. As head of field operations, he oversees every crew, every phase, and every detail on-site. He's the first one on the job and the last one to leave. If something isn't right, he catches it before you ever see it.
His philosophy is simple: "Build it like it's your own home." That standard has never changed in 40 years — and it's why homeowners trust him with their biggest investment.
MEET DANIEL
25+ YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY — YOUR FIRST POINT OF CONTACT
Daniel is the first person you'll talk to when you call Innovate Building — and that's by design. With over 25 years in the construction industry, he understands that a great project starts long before the first nail is driven. It starts with listening, understanding your vision, and translating it into a plan that works for your home and your budget.
As project manager and co-owner, Daniel handles everything from the initial consultation and estimate to permits, scheduling, material selection, and client communication throughout the build. He's the bridge between your vision and the crew that brings it to life — making sure nothing falls through the cracks and you're never left wondering what's happening with your project.
His approach to construction management is rooted in transparency and trust. You'll get detailed written estimates, honest timelines, and direct access to the person actually running your project — not a receptionist, not a voicemail. Daniel picks up the phone.
A PARTNERSHIP THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
In construction, partnerships are fragile. The stress of deadlines, budgets, and demanding projects breaks most of them apart within a few years. Mendes and Daniel have been working together for over 20 years — through recessions, pandemics, and thousands of projects. They're still here, still building, and still pushing each other to do better work.
That kind of partnership isn't just rare — it's a promise. If we can build a relationship that lasts two decades in one of the toughest industries in the world, imagine what we can build for you. When Mendes is on your job site making sure every cut is perfect and Daniel is on the phone keeping you updated, you're getting more than a contractor — you're getting a team that actually works.
