As a third generation builder, the property development and construction industry were ingrained in Eli Crosby at a young age. One might say it is in his blood, even. “I grew up around the development and home building of the Sanctuary in its early days. My father would take me to his home construction sites as well as the land development side, like the street construction of the neighborhood.” His interest and passion for his father’s work grew as Eli got older. He knew that someday he would establish himself in the business he had grown to appreciate at such a young age. After graduating from St. Paul’s School in 2017, he pursued a degree in Construction Management at LSU and graduated in 202l. Gaining valuable experience and hands-on knowledge in the industry, he worked for a local home-builder for three years. In 2022, Eli decided it was time to establish the company he had dreamed of while walking around construction and development sites with his father, Stephen, when he was just a boy. Eli Crosby Homes came to fruition in January 2022, offering new home construction, remodeling, additions, and small jobs. “The goal,” says Eli, “is to become the Sanctuary’s premier contractor being able to take care of any needs a customer may have.” Taking care of customer needs is paramount to Eli, who knows that good communication is the key to recognizing those needs. He explains that this communication is multilayered in this business and should be treated as such. “ Whether it is between homeowner and contractor or contractor to subs, proper communication plays a role in how successful the project is. Proper communication can eliminate many problems that arise during a construction project.” When it comes to his day-to-day, Eli is quick to point out that as a contractor, there is no typical day-to-day routine. Each day brings its own challenges and rewards. He enjoys being in the field, walking his job sites, and completing projects. Watching progress happen gives him a sense of satisfaction. “ I like seeing things happen on a project, you start out with dirt or an old bathroom, and in a short time, you have a structure or a new bathroom with a completely different look and feel.” This young entrepreneur takes pride in the fruits of his labor and also takes pride in the values he has established at his company’s core. About this sentiment, he says, “Eli Crosby Homes is based on honesty and quality. By treating our customers with honesty and providing a quality product and experience to the homeowner, we strive to create trusting relationships with clients that last.” These essential values are at the center of all Eli Crosby Homes projects. In a recent project, Eli completed a Padel court for a well-traveled client. A European game, this high-energy sport is a mix of tennis and squash, and the court on which it is played is enclosed with glass and mesh. Matching the construction materials that were used for 30 | The Sanctuary Living the court, which were imported from Europe, Eli and his crew built a matching cabana creating a truly unique area for sport and socializing. According to Eli, no job is out of his wheelhouse. “Eli Crosby Homes will take on any job big or small from new home construction, additions, [and] bathroom remodels to flooring replacement, painting, and carpentry work.” Third Generation Builder, Eli Crosby of Eli Crosby Homes is the one you seek if your contracting needs include honesty, communication, experience, and dedication.
