Lori Hailes

Houston native, passionate about bookkeeping and construction, I graduated from Bellaire High School in 1990. After discovering my love for bookkeeping during high school, I pursued a BS in Sociology with a minor in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University in 1995.

In 1997, I started my bookkeeping career at Vallone Restaurant Group, handling accounts payable for the Grotto restaurants. In 2000, I became the Office Manager/Bookkeeper for Scott Frasier Homes, dedicating 14 years to the company and falling in love with job cost bookkeeping in the construction industry.

With nearly 24 years of experience, I continue to bring my commitment to excellence to every project. Personally, I am a proud mother to my 15-year-old son, Phill, and enjoy long walks, time with my son, our dogs, Ferb and Roscoe, and cooking. Outside of my personal life, I am grateful to work with wonderful people who contribute to the success of our projects.
