Canco General Contractors, Inc. was formed in early 1986, when Canco President John D. Prahl, Vice President Kurt L. Denzel, and two area business leaders as investment partners, acquired the Tampa office of the Midwest based Carl A. Nelson Company. Today, under the total ownership of Prahl and management of Prahl and Denzel, the company enjoys an enviable reputation which allows the negotiation of over eighty-five percent of its contracts with only a small percentage from the invited bid market. The success the company has achieved in its Commitment to Client Satisfaction is best exemplified by the fact that multi-project relationships have been developed with over eighty percent of the clients for whom initial projects were contracted, with several now accounting for ten or more individual projects. Completed projects range from twenty construction rental stores for a national chain in four southeastern states, more than forty new auto dealerships and the expansion of another twenty, to thirty church projects, a 220,000 SF roof tile manufacturing plant, 300,000 square feet of buildings at the Florida State Fair, and numerous professional and manufacturing buildings. With the successful completion of the numerous church projects over the years the management felt a need for a portion of the company to be dedicated solely to church projects which led them to start Church Builders Southeast a division of Canco General Contractors.

While most of the firm's commercial, industrial, and institutional building projects have been in west and central Florida, in recent years projects have been completed across most of the Southeastern United States giving the company the opportunity to open a division office in Greenville, SC. After having their main office in Tampa for many years, the company moved into new headquarters located in Plant City July of 2007.
Canco projects include the construction of new buildings of all types and sizes, the renovation and expansion of existing facilities, and site development projects.
