Maile Custom Builders, Inc. (dba Maile, Tekulve & Gray), is a family owned and operated design / build business established in 1960 in Edgewood, Kentucky. Our reputation for exceptional quality, service, accountability and innovation began 65 years ago with Rich Maile’s Grandfather, Ed Maile. “Grandpa Ed” set the standard for accountability and workmanship that drives Maile, Tekulve & Gray to this day. He would be very proud to see how Rich, Mike and Michael have built upon the foundation he laid and how they continue to lead the industry in all aspects of the trade, illustrated most poignantly by their record of 99.3% repeat and referral business.
