Melanie Staub, Administrative Assistant

Melanie was born and raised in Summerdale, AL and graduated from Foley High School. She received her Associate of Applied Science, Communications and Computer Graphics Technology degree at Faulkner State College. She also received an Art Appreciation Award, for designing a poster that was entered in the “Annual WC Handy Music Festival Poster Contest” by the Art Department. It was the first poster to win 1st Place, in the 11 years Faulkner College had been entering the contest.

Melanie’s passion for helping people led her to become a Certified Medical Assistant. This field is a perfect combination of medical and administrative skills. She hired on with South Baldwin Hospital in Foley, and was positioned at the Gulf Shores Urgent Care Center in 2010. She was then promoted to Clinic Coordinator, and assisted in opening a new clinic in Robertsdale, AL. In 2012 she became South Baldwin Hospital’s Supervisor of Outlying Clinics, over five medical facilities. It was during these years that she not only advanced in her administrative skills, but she realized; the administrative field was what she loved most.

In 2021, she sat down with Nick and Dustin, and they invited her to join them at Fairhope Building Company. She met the challenge and brought her administrative skills to the table. She loves being a part of this team and enjoys helping the company and the team grow.

Melanie and her husband Glenn, live in Silverhill, AL on 20 beautiful acres. They have four grown sons, several grandchildren, many chickens, three fat cats and a high-strung Jack Russell. Living the dream!

“We moved here from the Midwest and fell in love with Nick’s coastal yet traditional style.  He builds gorgeous homes that are as solid as a rock.  It truly is a timepiece!”

“Having never built a house, it was overwhelming to say the least when we started this process. But I must say working with Nick and each and every one of his team members from painters, to masonry, etc. was just an incredible and very enjoyable journey. We all made it a FUN process and shared so many laughs. They walked us through every step of the way, explaining what was going on and what to expect next. We are still in awe that we truly got exactly the house we set out to build. The craftsmanship and attention to details Nick’s team puts into their work is incredible. I remember the quote by John Maxwell, “teamwork makes the dream work”. Well it truly was the collaboration and teamwork under Nicks guidance that made our dream home come to fruition. We couldn’t be more pleased with our new home we now dub “La Maison Gaston” (The Gaston House) and tip our hats, and thank Fairhope Building Company for making our dream a reality.”

“I have had a great experience working with FBC. Whenever you have a construction project going on, it can be very stressful at times. However, Nick does a great job in helping to alleviate that stress by communicating any changes or updates as they occur. His team is very professional, and they take great pride in their work. I look forward to working with them again in the near future. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an experienced, professional contractor with a quality team.”

His attention to detail kept our building process moving efficiently, and our project was completed right on time. We have been in our home for two years now, and love it more every day!”
