Thiago (TJ) Davila is the CEO/owner and visionary builder behind Davila Homes. He immigrated to the US from São Paulo, Brazil in 2000 after falling in love with Florida, and has been making the American dream a reality ever since.
In 2004, he started his first company, US Aluminum Services Corp - a construction company focused primarily on creating sunrooms and pool enclosures. He met his now-wife and business partner Michelle in 2005, and the two of them spent the next 9 years building the company into the Floridian staple it is today.
After spending years circling the construction space, he got another idea - to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind homes, designed with beauty in mind, built for daily living and enjoyment to the fullest. In 2010, he and Michelle started Davila Homes, funded by the success of US Aluminum, and quickly became a neighborhood mainstay.
Today, Davila Homes is a thriving business in the greater Orlando area, known for its innovation, hardworking staff, and quality craftsmanship.
TJ has a fantastically creative mind, classic entrepreneurial spirit, and a fearlessness that’s imbued in everything he does. He’s a team leader interested in making the impossible possible and instilling that same kind of intrepid attitude in everyone around him. The work that results from such a process is both modern and inviting, high-quality, and one of a kind - a true Thiago Davila original.
He has received multiple honors, including recognition on the Inc. 5000 Honor Roll and ranking on the Inc. 500 list in 2009. He holds certifications as a Florida Certified Building Contractor and Florida Certified Residential Contractor, having first received such distinctions in 2007.​
He loves travel, nature (particularly the beach), anything DIY that requires an engineer’s mind, and seeks out new challenges daily alongside his wife and business partner, President of Davila Homes, Michelle Sanchez. He lives in Orlando with her and their wonderful children, Thiago (14) and Chloe (11) - his proudest achievements.
