M.A. Conley Construction

They turned our dream home into reality!! Fantastic to work with in every aspect of the construction process. They support you through the whole process from clearing land to the last light bulb!! The beauty of the finished house is beyond our expectations! Highly recommend!!!

Going through from the initial appointment to the finish of the build has been very smooth.
Mike, Lisa, and Corey aways respond back to any questions and have been very ope and honest about every step of the build. We got to be at the site daily and watch the Conley team work. The guys they have working really care about what they are doing and they show great pride in the work. The home they built for us was built better than we ever imagined. Thank you.

We have a beautiful new home thanks to MA Conley Construction. We love our new home and really liked working with Lisa and Mike. They were willing to let us tweak the design and truly make it our own. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to build a new home.

Mike and his amazing team were tremendous throughout all facets of our basement remodel. From the brick backsplash, to the custom bar and cabinets--everything turned out better than we could have ever imagined. He and his staff possess impeccable vision, communication, and attention to detail, and I look forward to working with Mike on all future projects.

Been in my new home for almost six months now. Very well built home and I'm extremely satisfied. I would highly recommend MA Conley Construction. Lisa was very helpful during the purchase process.

Working with Mike and his family to build our home in Richmond, KY was great. We built a new home and the details are stunning. Their selections were great and willingness to work with us on some personal selections such as cabinets and brick made it even better. We've been here almost two years and still absolutely love it. Some details such as bullnose corners and tray ceilings are things every guest noticed. The wood-working on our hardwood stairs is exceptional. When people come over we get so many compliments on our home. It's nice to work with someone that also lives in the community. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a newly constructed home

My wife and I cannot begin to say how happy we are with our experience with M.A. Conley Construction. From the initial meeting armed with only thoughts of a floor plan in our head, Mike would develop our dream forever home. We then would witness M.A. Conley Construction bring it to reality. Mike, Lisa and Cory were all great to work with. Lisa is amazing at what she does. She will help guide you through each phase and make it as less stressful as possible. We never felt forced or pressured into making decisions, but were encouraged to make decisions about our home that we would enjoy. It was evident that hard work was being put into our home. M.A Conley Construction has gone above and beyond with giving guidance, answering questions, and just making the building process less stressful and exciting. I would highly recommend M.A. Conley Construction to anyone looking to build a new home. You will be 100% satisfied with your decision! We LOVE our new home!

We just built a new home with the Conleys in SouthPointe. We wanted similar square footage to other homes and a walk out basement for less than the others, eliminating expensive granite and fixtures. What I got was a house of much higher quality! Mike came up with an awesome floor plan (I believe it was one of their new ones). We made a few tweaks and it’s great. The workmanship looks great, the subcontractors were super nice and many of them offered up good words for Mike and Lisa. I like that the home is energy efficient and the details are fabulous. I’m not a decorator but Lisa was a huge help in choosing much of materials. We were told 6 months to build and we were just a few weeks ahead of schedule. Mike, Lisa, Cory and Cody were all great to work with and I’m super excited about the quality of my new house. Not just the appearance but the structure and quality. I’m so happy we chose them.

My husband and I recently purchased a MA Conley home. We are in love with the home, especially the high quality finishings. The Conley’s worked quickly to finish last minute touch ups to expedite our closing. Lisa and Mike gladly answered all questions we had about the home during the walk through and took the time to give us recommendations for other services. Lisa even came over during our fencing quote to clear up an issue. We would definitely recommend purchasing a home built by the Conley’s!

We had windows leaking for the two years we have lived in a home built by M.A. Conley. They spent several days over here over the years replacing, and changing things to remedy the situation. They finally fixed it by simply sealing the windows. In the meantime his roofer reshingled around my fireplace chimney, and left a couple of shingles just laying up on my roof that finally blew off. I also noticed yesterday a shingle was loose in the area his roofer worked. It appears he just forgot to nail it down because it's flapping in the wind. I texted the Conley's and am no longer getting a response. His roofer left nails and trash in my yard which I didn't complain about. My family has also recommended the Conley's to several folks looking to build. We will no longer in good faith be able to do that. Now I am going to have to pay someone to crawl up on the 3 story side of my home and fix what his roofer did.

M.A. Conley is an average homebuilder (no better or no worse than most others in the area). I could certainly point out builders that I would recommend over the Conleys as well as recommend the Conleys over others. It would depend on the circumstances and project budget, but simply put, I have reservations about recommending M.A. Conley for a custom home build.

Pros:

- The Conley’s made an attempt to go up and beyond the residential code as it pertains to energy efficiency, though I am not sure if the net results are significant compared to homes built to the minimum requirements of the same code.
- The trim carpentry is typically neat and clean.
- Quality of hardwood floor and tile work is very good.
- The exterior concrete work is among the best I have seen in residential construction.
- Can build economically if you are trying to maximize your $ per square ft by using competitive material sources.
- The Conley team seems to be educated about the construction industry and tries to keep up with the times, though Mike was often slow to respond to emails/texts. The Conley’s were generally easy to talk to and as long as we were meeting in person, we were usually able to resolve most issues.

Cons:

- Very unorganized which led to errors and omissions throughout construction. We would have meetings scheduled with Mike and he would often forget and we would drive out to our project and wait for him only to find out he was not going to be able to make it.
- It often felt like they didn’t review our contract and finish schedule and reverted back to their standards where we had custom items.
- The construction process was very slow and seldom kept any dates. Our project was completed almost 2 ½ months beyond the contract date for no obvious reason. It was commonplace to be told that our completion was set for a certain date and then it would get pushed weeks. In speaking with other clients of M.A. Conley, this was a common trend. I would attribute it mostly to them trying to build too many projects, using limited subcontractors, and poor planning/organization. This is fairly common in residential construction so it would likely be a knock against most builders.
- “Builder’s Standard” materials were cheap and often limited in selections. Many are probably unacceptable for higher end custom homes. We were often limited to just a few options or told that a specific fixture was going to be used.
- Absolutely horrible earth work. Granted we had bed rock excavated for our basement, but most of this ended up getting piled up under our deck area and around our house including planting beds. After the first good rain, hundreds of large rocks were exposed all over the building site area. Many rocks were several hundred pounds and required to be broken down just to move. Subsequently this caused issues with the sod and landscaping. The grading around our house was left with rather steep slopes in areas and we had areas where rainwater would collect and sit without draining for days.
- In general, the masonry/brick work left something to be desired. We requested a brick brand outside of their standard offerings with a custom mortar color in hopes of curbing some issues we saw on their other projects. Several of their projects have very noticeable color inconsistencies within the mortar in the brick work which makes the walls look splotchy. The final look and color of the brick on our project is inconsistent. The mortar in particular ranges from white to brown in areas on our house. It was a very frustrating issue and there was nothing we could do or offered to us to remedy the situation.
- Our time involvement in the project was fairly intense. After many errors and omissions early on, we felt like we had to review project almost daily to make sure we were getting what we stipulated in the contract and finish schedule.
- It took longer than expected for the punch list of items to be completed after we closed on the home. Some items were resolved almost immediately, but several lingered on for a month and a half.
