As a family-owned business, Galarneau family members are involved in every aspect of its operation.

Company Founder and President Lucien “Lou” Galarneau

Lou began working in the building trades in 1974.  For several years he worked for Van Mar Builders, Saratoga’s foremost home building team at the time.  By 1980 Lou was managing site development and custom home building in Van Mar’s Lakewood Estates.  When the company closed Lou took on several of its employees and started Galarneau Builders, Inc.

Lou’s experience is wide-ranging, from minor renovations and small additions to multi-million dollar homes and massive historic renovations.  His peers and colleagues admire his passion for building, his eye for architecture and his exacting commitment for quality excellence.
