Meet the Owners
Our name is on everything we build. We treat it that way.
Crescencio started out on framing crews and worked his way up to running his own. Since 2000 he's been building across Middle Tennessee, running crews and full projects for other builders: an estimated 1,000+ homes, plus apartments, shopping centers, restaurants, and hotels. Along the way he learned how a building goes together from the footings to the finish, and what the code requires at every step, so problems get caught before they get built in.
Imanol grew up on those job sites, working his way up from cleanup to cutting for the crews. While earning a degree in computer science, he ran his own finish carpentry jobs for two years, then came back to build the business side and get the company licensed.
Now their own name is on the work: Cardenas Builders, building custom homes, additions, remodels, and concrete work.
