About

Built on a reputation for exceptional quality, service, accountability, and innovation.

A Fully Integrated, Boutique Design-Build Firm Serving Northern Kentucky & Cincinnati

Maile Tekulve & Gray is a fourth-generation, family-owned design-build firm focused on residential construction and remodeling. Since 1960, alongside a devoted team of experts, the firm has been built on a foundation of craftsmanship, trust, and strong client relationships, bringing a thoughtful and steady approach to each project from start to finish.

who we are

For more than six decades, the company has built a reputation for exceptional quality, service, accountability, and innovation—values first instilled by founder Ed Maile. Known as “Grandpa Ed,” he set a lasting standard for craftsmanship and integrity that continues to guide the work today. That legacy lives not only in the homes created, but in the relationships built along the way, reflected in an extraordinary 99.3% repeat and referral rate. Under the leadership of Rich Maile, the company evolved into a fully integrated design-build firm, offering a seamless, collaborative process from concept through completion. Today, the fourth generation is actively involved in shaping the future of the business, continuing a legacy rooted in thoughtful planning, strong partnerships, and work that stands the test of time.

Four Generations of Building Well

our story

Integrity has been at the heart of Maile Tekulve & Gray since its founding, shaping a reputation for quality, accountability, and service. We believe trust is earned through honesty, consistency, and doing what is right for the client. This commitment is reflected in every detail of the process, creating peace of mind and confidence in the work being done.













01 / Authenticity

We believe the best projects are built through true partnership, not a transactional builder-client dynamic. Our approach is collaborative, approachable, and rooted in transparency and shared decision-making. Through thoughtful guidance, clients gain clarity on priorities, budget, and long-term goals, creating homes that reflect how they truly live.












02 / Partnership

The MT&G Standard Carried Forward

our ethos

We provide a comprehensive design-build process that creates a clear path from concept through completion. By investing early in planning, budgeting, and communication, we reduce common challenges and create alignment from the start. The result is a thoughtful, well-executed process that allows clients to move forward with confidence.












03 / Clarity

As a fourth-generation, family-owned business established in 1960, legacy is deeply woven into who we are. We carry forward the values first established by Ed Maile: quality, accountability, craftsmanship, and care. This legacy extends beyond longevity, shaping homes and relationships built to stand the test of time.
