ABOUT US
JAY Maher
Founder & Principal
With over 25 years of experience in hospitality, construction, and property management, I have built my career on a foundation of hard work, strong relationships, and a passion for bringing projects to life. From owning and managing businesses to leading complex real estate developments, I’ve gained a deep understanding of what it takes to turn a vision into reality—balancing thoughtful design, functionality, and long-term value.
J. Maher was founded on more than just a passion for development; it was built on the belief that great projects start with great relationships. I take a hands-on, client-first approach, ensuring every project—whether a renovation, new build, or consulting engagement—is managed with precision, transparency, and a commitment to excellence.
For me, success isn’t just about completing projects; it’s about building trust, fostering meaningful connections, and creating spaces that leave a lasting impact. From our first conversation to final completion, I treat every client like family and every project as if it were my own—because the best projects don’t just transform spaces or help businesses grow, they bring people together and create lasting value for generations to come.
