From a young age, Jose Zelaya has had the mindset of a visionary entrepreneur — someone who sees opportunity where others see limitations. His early passion for business and relationship-building naturally led him into the real estate world, where he quickly began working alongside builders, investors, and developers across the Houston area.

Through these experiences, Jose gained a deep understanding of market trends, floor-plan functionality, modern design aesthetics, and the construction details that elevate a home in today’s competitive market. His exposure to development and design sparked a passion for how thoughtful building can shape communities and improve quality of life.

As a co-founder of Covalent Homes, Jose brings a forward-thinking perspective to residential construction. He is committed to creating an exceptional client experience rooted in communication, transparency, and strategic design. His focus is ensuring every project — whether a remodel, custom build, or renovation — is purpose-driven, well-crafted, and aligned with the evolving needs of Houston’s neighborhoods.
