Quality Home Building Services in Avondale
Avondale sits in the quieter, more rural stretch of southern Chester County, where the roads run between farm fields and woodlots, and the properties give a builder something real to work with. This is Brandywine Valley country, close to Kennett Square and not far from Va La Vineyards on Gap Newport Pike, and the homes here tend to sit on land that invites careful, thoughtful building. McComsey Builders is a second-generation, family-owned home builder, founded by Bob McComsey Sr. in 1986 and run today by his sons Bob and Mike. We are based in Parkesburg, and Avondale falls naturally within the southern Chester County territory we have built in for forty years.
The homes we build in Avondale are one of one, every time. We are boutique by design, which means we never carry a floor plan from one client to the next. We sit down with you, sometimes on lawn chairs in your empty house, and draw the home around how your family actually lives. When you build a custom home in Avondale with us, we evaluate the lot, help you source the right architect, and stay with you from the first conversation to the day we hand over the keys. We are Licensed in Pennsylvania (PA015145) and an Andersen Certified Contractor.
In-house cabinetry is part of what separates the McComsey process. We draw it with you and build it in our own shop, specific to how you cook and gather. On properties where trees come down to make room for a new home or an addition, we mill them into the floors, beams, and counters of the finished home, so your house is built in part from your own land. If you want to add on to your Avondale home or overhaul a kitchen, you get the same craftsmanship and the same process, including dust walls, temporary kitchens, and negative-pressure containment so your family can keep living at home while we work.
Every client, for any project, gets a JobTread login with daily field reports, photos, the live budget, and every file. We walk the site with you each week. Our kitchens come in within 5 percent of the original budget, and we hand you the keys when we said we would.

Our Avondale Home Building Services
Custom Home Building
A home built around how your family lives, on the lot you have chosen or one we help you find. We come in early, evaluate buildability, source the right architect, and stay with you from the first walkthrough to the day we hand over the keys. Every home we build is one of one.
Home Additions and Renovations
More room, better flow, modern systems, and a home that finally feels like your own. We build temporary kitchens, dust walls, and negative-pressure containment so your family can keep living at home while we work, including whole-home and major historic renovations other builders will not take on.
Kitchen Remodeling
Cabinets we draw with you and build in our own shop. New layouts, structural openings, stone counters, and a kitchen that finally fits how you cook and gather. Our kitchens come in within 5 percent of the original budget, and we hand you the keys when we said we would.
Accessory Structures
Horse barns, party barns, car barns, pool houses, and the structures that turn a property into the place your family wants to spend the weekend. We bring the same craft and transparent process to an outbuilding that we bring to the main house.
Commercial Construction
Tenant fit-outs and full ground-up commercial builds. We work directly with building owners, scope every line transparently, and protect the move-in date so your business opens on schedule.

Forty Years, Second Generation Hands-On

Our History in Avondale
McComsey Builders has served southern Chester County since Bob McComsey Sr. founded the company in 1986. Avondale and the surrounding New Garden Township have been part of that territory since the beginning, an area of open land, working farms, and properties large enough to do something ambitious with. Bob and Mike McComsey, the second generation, bought the company from their father and run it today with the same standard: a small, trusted team, in-house cabinetry, transparent budgets, and no project treated as anything less than one of one.
The rural character of Avondale draws families who want space, privacy, and a home built for the land they chose. Anson B. Nixon Park anchors the Kennett Square side of the area, and the wooded trails and open ground throughout New Garden Township give a builder like us the room to site a home properly and build it to last. We bring the same forty-year Chester County craft to every Avondale project that we bring to the borough towns, and the McComsey name is on every one of them.
Avondale Home Building FAQs
Does McComsey Builders build custom homes in Avondale, PA?
Yes. Avondale and southern Chester County are part of the territory we have worked in since 1986. We build custom homes on lots in New Garden Township and the surrounding area, from the initial site evaluation through to handing over the keys. See our custom home building page to understand how we approach the process.
Can McComsey handle a large addition on a rural Avondale property?
Yes, and the lot sizes common in Avondale give us real room to work. We plan additions carefully from the start, including phasing so your family can stay in the house during construction. Dust walls, temporary kitchens, and negative-pressure containment are standard on occupied homes. Our home additions and renovations page covers what that process looks like.
Do you build barns, pool houses, or other accessory structures near Avondale?
Yes. On the larger properties throughout New Garden Township, we build horse barns, party barns, car barns, pool houses, and basketball courts. Every accessory structure we build goes through the same design attention and in-house craftsmanship as the main home.
How does McComsey keep our Avondale project on budget?
Every client gets a JobTread login with daily field reports, photos, and the live budget updated in real time. We walk the site with you each week so there are no surprises. Our kitchens specifically come in within 5 percent of the original budget, and we hand over the keys on the schedule we committed to at the start.
Why hire a builder based in Parkesburg for a project in Avondale?
Parkesburg is a short drive up Route 10 from Avondale, and southern Chester County has been our home territory since 1986. We know the ground, the building conditions, and the character of properties in this part of the county. More importantly, we are a family-owned boutique builder, not a volume contractor. Bob and Mike McComsey are hands-on from the first walkthrough, and the McComsey name is on every project we build.
Does McComsey Builders do kitchen remodeling in Avondale?
Yes. Kitchen remodeling is one of our core services, and we bring the same in-house cabinetry and transparent process to Avondale kitchens that we bring to custom homes. Cabinets are drawn with you and built in our own shop, and the project comes in within 5 percent of the original budget.
