Allegro Team

Allegro Builders began with one man’s love of fine craftsmanship, historic homes, and learning what works. Lambert Arceneaux launched the company in 1997, after building a successful remodeling and commercial-foundation firm. Through this hands-on experience, he learned a lot about how fine homes are put together, and about what makes a building last for generations.

That tradition of hands-on learning now characterizes the entire Allegro team. We’re industry experts with decades of combined experience in architecture, home construction and real estate.

We’re critical thinkers, driven to find best practices. We love unified design and buildings that make sense. We constantly evaluate new construction technologies, do extensive research into period architecture, and then draw on our years of experience when making decisions.

LAMBERT G. ARCENEAUX, PRESIDENT AND CEO
Texas native Lambert G. Arceneaux launched Allegro Builders in 1997. After building a successful remodeling and commercial-foundation firm with clients in eight states, he dreamed of creating homes from the ground up. He built his first homes in Houston’s historic Heights neighborhood and has grown Allegro into a $15 million company with custom and spec homes in communities throughout the Houston area.

Lambert is passionate about architectural integrity and about building in context, so that neighborhoods are strengthened by new construction.  Under his leadership, Allegro Builders has won numerous architecture and design awards.
A graduate of Sam Houston State University, Lambert is married to Heidi Arceneaux and is the father of two children.
