Our Team - Luxury Custom Home Builder in Maryland

About Us

Assembling the Team

Mueller Homes approach to the construction process begins with assembling the team of individuals and companies that can best serve your needs. A typical team is comprised of a project supervisors, a client concierge, and master carpenters with an average tenure of 15+ years with our firm and decades of experience in the home building industry.

We assemble an internal and external team for collaboration and transparency. Each client’s team typically includes:

Architect
Interior Designer
Project Manager
Client Concierge
Landscape Architect

Assembling the team early in your design process ensures that your budget and your vision are aligned from the start. This also provides opportunities for value engineering, clear communication, and realistic expectations as the project progresses. Meet the members of our team below.

Meet the Team

Each member of our team provides a wealth of construction industry experience and commitment to our company’s core values of integrity, craftsmanship, and client experience. Our culture of collaboration helps ensure personal and professional fulfillment while exceeding client expectations. We believe this kind of pride is evident in everything we do and helps us provide memorable building experiences, every day.

Paul Mueller, Jr.

President

For most of his life, Paul Mueller, Jr. (PJ) has been involved in the home building and construction industry. He literally grew up in the family business, and was mentored by his father and founder, Paul Mueller, Sr. This mentorship provided him the foundation of a culture that still adheres to a strong set of core values, hard work ethic, and the business acumen necessary to deliver a handcrafted luxury custom home.

After attending college at the Penn State’s Pennsylvania College of Technology, and obtaining a Bachelor of Science Degree in Construction Management, PJ explored a career opportunity with a large construction and paving company. After 7 years and numerous promotions, he decided to rejoin the family business – holding virtually every position in the field from digging foundations to pouring concrete, placing drain tile, framing, cabinetry, punch-out, and more. In recent years, PJ became more involved with the daily operations of running a business and served as the primary point of contact for client engagement and construction development.

In 2017, Mueller Homes celebrated it’s 25th anniversary. As President of Mueller Homes, Paul Mueller, Jr. plans to carry on the family business for many years to come.

About Our Founder

Paul Mueller, Sr.

Founder

Paul Mueller, Sr. artfully combined over 40 years of construction expertise with a solid foundation of core values to create Mueller Homes.

For Paul, the concept of building things goes way back. In high school, he attended a vocational school where he learned fundamental construction trade skills. He began his career as a carpenter, project superintendent, and eventually served as the VP of Construction for a regional production builder. Along the way, he developed systems and processes and set out on his own, in 1992, to launch Mueller Homes. His goal was very clear – to create a luxury custom home building experience that would be memorable and rewarding for his clients.

Paul reflects, “The building industry has seen many ups and downs over the last 40 years. I believe that navigating through economic cycles, while maintaining quality and integrity, are key components for long-term viability and reputation. Our attention to the build side of our business and doing the right thing at all times is what truly sets us apart. Our clients trust in us and our abilities, and in turn, the overall building experience is enhanced.”

Paul has created a legacy and reputation that is now being effectively carried on by his son, Paul Mueller, Jr. who serves as President of Mueller Homes. Paul continues to serve Mueller Homes as an advisor for long-term strategy and business operations.
