Corban Construction -

(352) 357-1787

Corban Construction is celebrating its 36th year in business!! We are a second generation family owned and operated business, founded in 1987 upon the principles of God and family, and we continue to operate under those values.
We are a state certified building contractor (CBC1251247) and we have been providing services for the central Florida area since 1987. More specifically, we have been serving the Villages since 1991.
Our range of work has been from the smallest job; door replacement, to the largest job; construction of an 18,000 square foot commercial building. Every job we undertake, whether large or small, we endeavor to service each one with equality.

We offer free consultations, and estimates, and complete design/build services. We take a client's initial vision and then expand those ideas, and proceed to develop them into a full set of drawings, ready for permitting.

We are confident that we will not only meet your expectations, but we will exceed them.

OUR PROCESS

RESIDENTIAL

Paul and Cyndi Caruso have been married for 32 years, and have owned and operated Corban Construction for 18 years. In 2005 they acquired Corban from Cyndi's parents, who founded the business in 1987. Paul has an AS degree in Business from Lake Sumter State College, and has been a licensed building contractor (State of FL License: CBC1251247) in the state of Florida since 2005. Cyndi also earned her AS in Business degree in 1986 from LSSC. Apparently, they both had an Accounting class together back in 1984, but neither really remembers the other. They didn’t meet up again until June of 1990.
Paul handles all of the projects from start to finish: He's the guy you'll meet initially, and who will prepare your estimate. He will answer your questions, and address any of your concerns during the project, and will manage it from inception to completion. The buck stops with Paul - no middle men here.
Cyndi is responsible for all of the financial aspects of the company, and client relations. She mostly works in the office, but sometimes she tags along with Paul to client meetings, so you might get to meet her!

They have 2 children:
Andrew, who is a FULL service auto mechanic and owns his OWN business
Lake County Auto
Nicole, she is the Creative Director for Corban Construction, and handles our website / social media pages.

They also have 2 adopted fur kids who keep life interesting and fun: Aslan their dog and Citrus their cat.

Paul and Cyndi are very active in their church, The Fellowship, they like to watch movies, and enjoy spending time on their boat on weekends. Paul is a former PGA teaching professional (yes, he can give you a free tip on how to improve your golf swing), and enjoys participating in amateur golf tournaments in the central Florida area. Paul is a Nascar fan, and his favorite driver will always be #3, Dale Earnhardt. He is also an avid Washington Redskins fan, while Cyndi loves her Chicago Bears. She teaches Sunday School (with Paul) at The Fellowship church, and works out at Orange Theory Fitness regularly. She loves loves loves ELVIS! And, enjoys listening to music, watching college fast pitch softball, true crime shows, and all cooking shows. She also loves to cook for her family and friends.

Many people wonder where the name “Corban” came from. Most clients assume it’s our last name, or perhaps a first name. The name Corban was chosen by our parents in 1987. They prayed about what to name their new construction company...
God led them to the following biblical passage:
Mark 7:11 NIV
"But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is CORBAN (That is a gift devoted to God.")

When we acquired Corban Construction in January 2005, it was our hope to always keep God first in our family and our business and to ensure that Corban Construction will always remain a gift devoted to God.

KENNY - 2013
Kenny was a great and rare find! Paul was in Lowes and mentioned to a manager that he was looking for a lead framer. The manager knew of Kenny, who had been in the industry for over 30 years, was very knowledgeable, and was looking for work. Paul called him, and the rest is history! Kenny is our foreman, and is the backbone of our business. We are very blessed to have him for 9years and counting!!

DAVID - 2021
David is Paul's older brother who has relocated from NC to join our Corban family. As our Project Coordinator, David is responsible for scheduling the projects, and coordinating the subcontractors and material deliveries to make sure our projects stay on schedule. David also brings years of experience with him and we couldn't be happier to have him here!

RICHARD - 2022
My dad (our co-founder) always says "people know people" and they sure do! Richard is the father - in - law of one of our amazing subcontractors. He was working in a nursery and looking for a change, so we hired him on the spot and never looked back! Richard keeps our jobsites spic and span and makes sure the guys have the materials they need. He's very hard working and a wonderful asset to our team!

JOSEPH - 2022
Joseph is a versatile and hard-working employee. No matter what task he undertakes he always gives a 110%. Joseph has been a great addition to our Corban family, and we are excited to continue to watch him grow and learn.

PAT - 2023
They say you can't go home again, but actually, you can. Pat worked for us many years ago, and now he is back. Pat was our go-to guy then, and picked right back up where he left off. We are happy to have him back with our team.

"Corban Construction converted our open lanai with an attached bird cage to a fully enclosed windowed year round room with a covered open side porch. They were tremendous to work with and everyone was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about the project. Paul Caruso was in constant contact keeping us up to date as to what was happening the whole time every step of the way. We are ecstatic as to how beautiful everything turned out and are very happy to have chosen them for our upgrade. The project was completed well within the time frame given and was completed much to our total satisfaction. We highly recommend Corban Construction for any home remodeling project. See before and after photos." May, 2023
Forrest Swingle: Client, Leesburg

Added a new room , They started when they said and finish when they said. They came the days they said they would and never hit me up for any extra charges. I am happy with they way it turned out. September 2021
Ron S.: Client, The Villages

They keep us informed every step of the way. They were very respectful, reliable and did a very nice job with our garage addition. September 2021
Steve M.: Client, The Villages

After receiving 3 bids from different contractors, we chose Corban for our kitchen remodel. They were not the cheapest bid, but we felt a good connection to Paul right away. Plus their reviews were fantastic. Now we know why. Everyone connected with Corban, both employees and subs, were first rate. They were always professional, fully cleaned up every day, and did a great remodel for us. They stayed on schedule and completed the job as promised. Everyone who has seen it raves about the quality and detail. We highly recommend Corban Construction. We are so fortunate to have found them. Quality people who do a quality job. October 8, 2021
E. Waller: Client, The Villages

Corban has done an outstanding job for us doing demo work and building a 350 square ft. new room. With a couple small weather delays they stayed pretty much on schedule. Material and workmanship was fine, I have no complaints. Biggest attribute I would say is that Paul stayed involved and present almost every day and kept me informed on each step of construction. Project turned out very well, and I am not easy to please. Mike July 15th, 2020
Carol McManus: Client, The Villages

Corban Construction did a Five Star job on this addition. Quality and care,were fantastic. July 17th, 2020
James Dee: Client, The Villages

"My experience was wonderful: quality work, professionalism, punctuality, communication, responsiveness, reputation , were all 5 star rated! This company surely deserves your trust for any construction you need done. Paul was in constant communication ensuring every detail was correct. This is an amazing company and Paul and Cyndi are incredible people to work with. Honestly, I now know what it feels like to work with an honest, reputable, quality firm. My home looks F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C!!!!" May 18th 2020
Connie Reed: Client, Leesburg

Corban Construction just finished a beautiful bedroom/bathroom addition for my father who is coming to live with me. The addition looks like it was part of the original house. Everything blends in perfectly. Paul and his crew were great. All of his workers were very courteous and friendly. Paul went above and beyond - even checking on my family after the hurricane and repairing a leaking roof vent pipe that was not part of the addition. I would hire him again and recommend Corban to others. February 2018
Teena McKay: Client, Eustis

We hired Paul Caruso to remove a screen room and convert it to a room. His price was fair and he kept us informed as the room progressed. He gave us ideas to make the room look more custom. He negotiated with the air condition company for a better price. Later we remodeled our bathroom he did a wonderful job. We would never hire anyone else" February 2019
Nolan Shuman: Client, The Planation, Leesburg

Gardenia floor plan expanded lanai - We are so delighted with our expanded lanai. In the typical Gardenia floor plan the lanai was only 8 feet deep. We lived with it for 7 long years until we found Paul to help us make our dreams of a 28 x 30 lanai. Paul was the only contractor that would span 30 feet without putting in columns in-between. That was the look we wanted to achieve. Paul told us that his goal is to make our lanai look like it existed when the house was built. And, that goal was achieved. We added a tray ceiling for two ceiling fans and put in a new sliding door that disappears into the wall when open. Love our new door. I have attached some before and after pictures. Thank you Paul and Cyndi we love our new outdoor space!! February 2019
Tama Allen: Client, The Villages

We could not be happier, enclosed lanai raised floor, added many windows and made our house a home. When we considered contractors we found Paul at Corban Construction. He understood exactly what we wanted and his price was right. All his workers were very professional, on time and kept the place clean and they did exceptional work. YES we would certainly do it again and Corban would be the construction company to to do it. We are happy to give him a 5 star rating." February 2019
William Morgan: Client

CORBAN CONSTRUCTION did a fantastic job for us! We were very pleased with the two projects they recently completed. Our confidence in them is very high and we plan to do two additional projects with them. Paul is very easy to work with and is willing to tackle any specialized project. He is always available in person or by phone to answer any questions. We would highly recommend CORBAN CONSTRUCTION for your construction projects! March 2019
Jerry Garkey: Client

It was a pleasure to work with Paul and Cindy. Completed a demo of our back Florida room into a beautiful living room. We purchased a fixer last year and the work was shoddy from the previous owner, to say the least. Having Paul come to the rescue and fix most of the issues, was a godsend. Thank you!!!" March 2019
Julie Vore-Garcia: Client

These folks are great! I have found them to be highly dependable and a pleasure to deal with. They are skilled craftspeople and communicate well with their customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. November 2019
Vic Amoroso: Client

We appreciated the orderliness, timeliness and professionalism of our construction project. We were told weekly what would be happening everyday and that was exactly what took place. The project moved along smoothly and if we had questions or concerns, Paul was always available to respond. The construction workers were all very helpful and courteous. In addition, the quality of work is excellent and we hope to enjoy our beautiful new room for many years to come. We would definitely recommend Corban Construction. January 2020
Don and Carolyn Bartyzel: Client

Very good work and responsive to all my requests and changes. Would recommend to anyone who needs home renovation. My added room came out beautiful!! October, 2021
Laraine McDonald, Client

We originally had Paul visit us to assess hanging 3 85" TVs in our sanctuary at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Leesburg, Florida. He sent a crew of 2 to unbox and prepare the TVs and to install the mounts. The size and weight of the units required some more assistance to actually get the TVs on the mounts. A crew of 4, including Paul was at the church around 7 am in the morning and had all 3 TVS mounted by 8 am. We were very impressed with their work and their professionalism. October, 2021
Irvin Johnson: Volunteer and on behalf of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church

Paul and his team are awesome to work with. They were recommended by a neighbor and they did a great job on their addition. I hired Paul and his team for my addition and other construction work. They have been very professional, fair, and did great work. Highly recommend. November 2022
Eric Abrahamson: Client

We hired Corban to add a third garage to our house in The Villages. The quality of work and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. Every detail was handled, such as re-routing irrigation, moving utilities and all approvals and permitting. The owner was always responsive. Corban uses a mix of their own employees and subcontractors. Everyone who came to work on this project was pleasant to deal with an did a very professional job - they took pride in their work. It did take a while to complete, but nothing was rushed. Before we signed, we spoke to several past customers and received glowing recommendations. The garage is a seamless addition and we love it.
