EP #254: Design to Doorstep: How Mae Reedy's All-Female Team is Transforming Home Construction

Good Neighbor Podcast: Frisco

What makes Mae Reedy with Mae Reedy Design + Build a good neighbor?

Meet your good neighbor Mae Reedy, founder of a construction company that's breaking the mold in an industry traditionally dominated by men. Mae leads an all-women team that combines design expertise with construction knowledge to deliver transformative home renovations from concept to completion.
Growing up as a builder's daughter, Mae initially pursued different paths through business, design, and art before an interior design apprenticeship reconnected her with her construction roots. What began as helping a friend evolved into a thriving business when May was handed a full client roster and decided to lean into complex projects requiring detailed specifications. Her unique approach resonated with clients, generating powerful word-of-mouth referrals that fueled organic growth.
Mae doesn't shy away from addressing industry challenges, particularly the lack of contractor licensing requirements in Texas. She advocates for homeowner education, encouraging potential clients to thoroughly vet contractors by examining their voluntary training, business practices, and testimonials. This transparency has helped her build trust with clients, especially women who've had negative experiences with contractors in the past.
The podcast takes a personal turn when Mae shares how a second-trimester pregnancy loss became a catalyst for professional transformation. Through grief, she found renewed purpose and determination to maximize every day—a philosophy that infuses her business approach. Mae's team combines technical excellence with deep empathy, recognizing that living through construction can be overwhelming. They prioritize client comfort throughout the process while still delivering stunning transformations, creating what Mae describes as magical reveal moments that show homeowners what their spaces can truly become.
