ABOUT US

About Our Company...

Canopy Concepts, Inc. was formed almost 20 years ago by construction industry veteran Mike Kluba. Mike built the company from the ground up, and focused on designing, building, and installing specialty patio covers and commercial canopies. Shortly thereafter, the company evolved into a successful residential patio sales and installation company, and also began a commercial metal canopy sales and installation department. In early 2023, Mike began the process of handing his company over to his employees, who were already involved in running his residential and commercial departments. Mike is now finally able to enjoy some much-deserved retirement on the golf course.

New owners, Eric Negrete and Ely Ramos, have a combined 50 years of industry experience in residential and commercial construction and have always believed in a customer-first approach to every job, regardless of the scope of work. Eric and Ely are laser-focused on taking the company to the next level and are doing so by adapting to the constantly changing landscape and keeping our customers at the forefront of our vision.
