ABOUT US

Charlie Johnson, one of Lake County’s home building pioneers, was known for his innovative designs and his ability to build beautiful homes at affordable prices. Charlie Johnson started his career designing the first guided missiles for the NACA (now NASA) during World War II. He designed some of Lake County’s iconic buildings including the “Surfside Six” houseboat on Lake Eustis, located at the entrance to Tavares.
In 1980, Charlie Johnson passed the business to his daughter, Cheryl Johnson Ludecke, and son-in-law Carl Ludecke. Cheryl, an award winning designer, and Carl, a licensed building contractor, have grown the business into what it is today. Kristin Beall, their daughter, is also a licensed contractor. With more than 3000 houses built throughout Central Florida, they specialize in custom homes at any size and on-your-lot construction.
