Melanie Adley
Lead Designer - Client Relations
Melanie Adley’s journey into construction and design began in 2017. While working in corporate marketing, her and Michael purchased their first flip as a team. The success of that home and the buyers’ praise for Melanie’s eye for finishes and overall design marked a turning point: it was time to pursue design full time.
Since then, Melanie and Michael have renovated over 1,000 homes together. As Lead Designer at Fernstone Construction Group, Melanie leads all design efforts and often steps in as Project Manager on complex renovations, ensuring seamless communication between vision and execution. She designs with both creativity and feasibility in mind, a rare combination that makes her invaluable on large-scale remodels.
Melanie has effortlessly designed kitchens, bathrooms, full floor plans, and entire homes, down to the smallest details, including paint colors, tile layouts, roofing materials, and window selections. Whether a project leans traditional, modern, luxury, historic, or something in between, she brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach that blends beauty with function - every time.
In addition to all that she does for Fernstone, Melanie is also a licensed Real Estate Agent in the state of Georgia and helps clients buy and sell their homes.
