About Lael Homes

Formerly known as Lael Building Group, Andrew and Kelly rebranded the business in 2019 to better reflect what they do. And building beautiful custom homes and remodeling well-loved homes is their passion. Their past clients have hired them to:

  • Build New Custom Homes
  • Create Custom Additions
  • For Bathroom Remodel
  • For Kitchen Remodel
  • For Complete Home Remodel
  • Interior Design
  • Add a Secondary Space
  • Home Renovations


There is no job too big or too small. Andrew and Kelly Lael will tackle any project with excellence and decades of experience. It’s why they are trusted and referred to others.

Thanks to the world of HGTV, there are high expectations of a home builder and interior designer. They are, after all, sharing access to their hopes, dreams, and their homes! The industry has long been compartmentalized and somewhat segmented, with clients being sent here and there to hopefully coordinate a final product that is a beautiful reflection of their investment. However, the Laels have been working together for over 10 years. Their skills mesh so beautifully that it enables a better partnership with the clients they serve. Kelly, as the interior decorator, understands the construction aspect of the business and can work as a liaison with the clients. And Andrew – with over 300 custom home builds to his name, has a well-established reputation for excellence and industry expertise.

The Lael Homes Difference

Traditionally, the process of home builders and remodeling requires a lot of leg work on the part of the home owner. While picking out furniture and window treatments can be fun (and Lael Homes will help their clients’ choose quality, complementary pieces), the not-so-fun part is choosing cabinets, counters, and hardware. The options can be overwhelming, but with Lael Homes’ one-stop solution, the choices can be simplified based on their clients’ lifestyle, needs, and preferences. Some of the choices Lael Homes will assist with include:

  • Selections of brick and mortar
  • Roofing choices
  • Room selections
  • Exterior details
  • Home interiors
  • Cabinet design
  • Granite
  • Tile backsplashes
  • Flooring
  • Light fixtures
  • Paint
  • Hardware for cabinets and drawers
