David and his team have been doing great work for our family and all of our properties for years. They can make everything good again—roofs, painting, electrical work, flooring, water damage—all done quickly and professionally.

I strongly recommend Mr. Arevalo and his team. Since I live out of state, it's great to have a company I can trust to handle things for me. They also take care of everything from permitting to construction!

Canaan Development lifted our house and renovated it after hurricane damage, expertly navigating the city's complex historic district guidelines. Mr. Arevalo preserved the structure while maintaining the 150-year-old brick.

If you’re looking for a reliable and responsive house-raising company, look no further, just hire Canaan Development. My husband and I met with several other companies, but none of them gave us the confidence we were looking for.

Out of all the contractors I felt the most comfortable with Canaan. They listened and cared about my house the most. Mr. Arevalo paid close attention to all the small details. Got the job done in time and within the budget.
