about us
Charles Candela
Our team consists of a blend of award-winning architects, designers and engineers who strive for total customer satisfaction.
Growing up in West University, I played baseball in West U little League from pee wee through senior league and attended West University Elementary, Pershing Jr. High and Lamar High School. After high school, I attended Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches and obtained an MBA from the University of St. Thomas.
After graduation, my brother Stephen and I started purchasing historic homes and restoring them to their original looks with updated amenities. I also worked in the finance industry and my brother gained experience working for a local home builder. In 1999, we decided it was time to start building new from the ground up.
My wife Jessica and I married in August of 1999. A year later we had our first daughter Lauren and in 2004 we welcomed our second daughter Megan. We’ve lived in the Memorial area since 2005 and both of our daughters attended Bunker Hill Elementary, Memorial Middle and Memorial High School.
Stephen Candela
Candela Homes was established with the mission of developing extraordinary properties that serve the interests of the home owner.
I’m a native Houstonian and grew up in a family with 3 brothers. We all played West University Little League and attended West University Elementary, Pershing Middle School and Lamar High school.
After receiving my Bachelors from The University of St. Thomas, I started buying and refurbishing homes in the Montrose area and later progressed into new construction. My brother Charles joined me and we have been building together for over 20 years. We are both very passionate about the business and love what we do.
Our philosophy: we build every home as if we're building it for ourselves. My wife Cynthia and I currently live in West University Place. She’s a realtor and we share the same passion for the real estate business.
