“The quality of the build and attention to detail throughout the home is impressive and has exceeded our expectations.”
“We had a great experience with Flaherty Builders from start to finish, and even after our home was completed.”
We had a great experience with Flaherty Builders from start to finish, and even after our home was completed. We built a few years ago but I called today with a question, and Brian immediately took the time to call me back and fully explain everything in a clear, patient, and professional way. That level of responsiveness and care says a lot about the kind of builder he is. It’s reassuring to know that he truly stands behind his work and is always willing to help. We’re very happy with our home and highly recommend Flaherty Builders to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service.

“We truly appreciate the transparency and care throughout the entire build process.”
We truly appreciate the transparency and care throughout the entire build process. Communication was clear, timelines were respected, and the end result is a home we’re incredibly proud of. Beyond the house itself, Brian has created a beautiful neighborhood and delivered a well-built, quality home that we know will last. We would gladly recommend Flaherty to others looking for a builder they can trust. Thank you Brian & Paulina too!

first time ever building a home and the experience exceeded our every expectation. From selections to closing, everyone was helpful and patient throughout the entire building process. It's a strong house that will last a long time. We love the neighborhood.

“The owner of Flaherty, Brian, is a pretty incredible guy.”
The owner of Flaherty, Brian, is a pretty incredible guy. My home was built over 25 years ago and I needed some structural information to modify some walls in the house. After calling his office, Brian called me back within an hour and knew exactly which house was mine and the model of the house he built. I was impressed because this was so long ago (27-28 years ago). Brian ended up stopping by my house that evening to check out the work I was performing and gave me the information I needed. This saved me a ton of time and money that I would have had to spend hiring a structural engineer. Super friendly guy and was eager to help in any way he could. My in-laws were also super impressed with the townhomes Flaherty is building near Hickory Creek School. When the time comes for us to build, we are definitely going to reach back out to Brian.

“Flaherty Builders built our home in Frankfort and we could not be happier with the final product.”
Flaherty Builders built our home in Frankfort and we could not be happier with the final product! Throughout every phase of our build, Brian and his team were top notch. Not only are Flaherty’s home designs and craftsmanship a cut above what we have seen the other builders in our area produce, Brian and his team excel in their customer service. Flaherty recognizes that for many customers, it is the first time they ever decide to build a home. Because of this, Brian and his team always made us feel like we were a top priority any time we needed them or had questions about our build along the way. We have now been in our Flaherty home for six years and have never once had a problem with anything. If we ever decide to renovate, build an addition, or even build a new home ever again, Flaherty Builders will undoubtedly be our first and only phone call.

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Flaherty Builders to construct our dream...”
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Flaherty Builders to construct our dream home, and we are thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the team demonstrated professionalism, skill, and a deep commitment to quality. The experience was nothing short of outstanding. We read numerous positive reviews before deciding to build with Flaherty. After working with their team, we can confidently say that they live up to their stellar reputation. Their experience really shows in their quality of work and attention to detail. Any issues that arose were promptly addressed. We have been in our house for one month now, and we are absolutely in love with our dream home. From our initial meeting, Brian took the time to listen to us and understand our vision. He was very knowledgeable and had many great ideas to help us with our dream home. Flaherty has great floorplans, but what really set them apart was their ability to customize aspects of the design. Thanks to Brian, we were able to incorporate details and make our home everything we ever wanted and some. We couldn't be happier. Paulina was amazing to work with. She was our right-hand woman. She was there for us throughout the whole process and always guided us with whatever we needed. She went above and beyond to make sure all of our questions were answered, and she made sure we were always in the loop. My husband and I never hesitated to call, text, or email Paulina with our overload of questions that came up along the way. She was incredibly responsive and made us feel at ease. Lara was also great to work with. She made sure we weren't overwhelmed during the selections process. Everything went smoothly; and she was very organized, always keeping us on track. She also had some great ideas for us when we were undecided on what to choose. We highly recommend Flaherty to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced, top-notch home builder. They made the process fun and enjoyable. We knew we were in good hands and put complete trust in them. They truly made our dream home a reality!

“We had the pleasure of working with Paulina for our home purchase, and we couldn't be more...”
We had the pleasure of working with Paulina for our home purchase, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Paulina demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and a true commitment to delivering a high-quality home. Her communication was always clear and prompt, keeping us informed every step of the way and making sure all of our questions were answered. The craftsmanship and quality of work exceeded our expectations, and it's clear that Brian and the Flaherty team takes great pride in their work. We highly recommend Paulina to anyone looking to build/buy their dream home; her dedication, expertise, and passion for what she does truly set her apart. Thank you, Paulina and Brian, for creating a space that we will cherish for years to come.

We just moved into our new home and love it! We were expertly guided through the process by Paulina Balenciaga, the sales manager; Lara Hoster, the selections coordinator: and Brian Flaherty, the builder and owner. The entire staff and crew were amazing. The quality of the work is wonderful. We appreciate all of their hard work and look forward to a future in our new home.

“We had a great experience working with Brian Flaherty and his team, they are a well-oiled machine.”
We had a great experience working with Brian Flaherty and his team, they are a well-oiled machine! We first talked with Paulina who showed us the models they offer, and how each could be tweaked to our liking. She has every lot and house configuration stored in her head! Then we met with Brian, who explained the process of how they build your home. He listens to what you are specifically looking for in a home and with his knowledge of what has worked and what doesn’t, he put our floor plan together. Then last, but not least, Lara, our design specialist, who answered every question and helped with every indecision we had in choosing cabinetry, handles, mirrors, lighting, colors, and so much more. Any issues or concerns we had after moving in were quickly attended to. It is such a wonderful feeling driving into the Jacob’s Field subdivision and pulling up to the beautiful home we built with the help of Flaherty Builders. Thanks, all!
