Quality Home Building Services in Glen Mills
Glen Mills sits just east of the Chester County line, on large wooded lots that back up to the trails of Ridley Creek State Park and the rolling Delaware County countryside. It is the kind of address where the setting is part of the investment, and where building right matters as much as building at all. McComsey Builders is a second-generation, family-owned custom home builder, founded by Bob McComsey Sr. in 1986 and run today by his sons Bob and Mike. We have been building across this corner of the region for forty years, and Glen Mills is the kind of town we build best in.
The homes here tend to sit on acreage, surrounded by preserved open space, with the Tyler Arboretum and Ridley Creek trails within a short walk of many properties. That setting shapes what good building looks like. A custom home or a substantial addition needs to be sited for the land, designed for the light, and built to last in a place where the neighborhood itself is part of why people chose to live here. When you build a custom home in Glen Mills with us, we come in early, evaluate buildability, help you source the right architect, and stay with you from the first walkthrough to the day we hand over the keys.
We are boutique by design. Every home and every kitchen is one of one, which means we sit down with you and draw the cabinets around how you actually cook and gather. We build that cabinetry in our own shop. When trees come down on your property, we mill them into the floors, beams, and counters of your new home. That is the level of specificity we bring to a home addition or renovation in Glen Mills, and it is why families who have done their research tend to call us before calling anyone else.
If you want to remodel your kitchen, we bring the same process: dust walls, negative-pressure containment, and a temporary kitchen so your family can keep living at home while we work. You also get a clear window into the whole project. Every McComsey client receives a JobTread login with daily field reports, photos, the live budget, and every file, plus weekly walk-throughs on site. Our kitchens come in within 5 percent of the original budget, and we hand over the keys when we said we would. For Glen Mills homeowners who want a barn, pool house, or car barn on their acreage, our accessory structures work brings the same craft and the same transparent process. We are Licensed in Pennsylvania (PA015145) and an Andersen Certified Contractor.
Our Glen Mills Remodeling 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 Glen Mills
McComsey Builders is based in Parkesburg and has built across the western Philadelphia suburbs and Delaware County for forty years. Glen Mills has been part of our territory since the early years, when Bob McComsey Sr. first established the company’s reputation for complex, one-of-one residential work on the larger lots east of the Chester County line. Bob’s sons Bob and Mike run the company today, and they bring the same standard to a Glen Mills project that their father brought to the first ones: in-house cabinetry drawn specifically for the homeowner, transparent budgets built in JobTread, and a small team that does serious work.
The preserved open space around Glen Mills, from Thornbury Park to the meadows and woodland trails that edge many of the neighborhoods here, gives this part of Delaware County a character that is easy to underestimate from the road. The homes sit back from the street on longer drives, with mature trees and room to build thoughtfully. We have built additions, kitchens, and custom homes in this area that respect the property’s natural setting, using materials and systems that will be as sound forty years from now as they are on the day we hand over the keys. The McComsey name is on every job we have ever built, and we treat every Glen Mills home like it is part of that legacy.
Frequently Asked Questions - Glen Mills Remodeling
Does McComsey Builders build custom homes in Glen Mills, PA?
Yes. Custom home building is our flagship work, and Glen Mills is one of the markets we have served since 1986. We build on lots you have already chosen and on properties we help you evaluate for buildability. You can see how we approach the full process on our custom home building page.
Can McComsey handle a large addition on a Glen Mills acreage property?
Yes. The larger lots common in Glen Mills are well suited to substantial additions, and we are experienced building on properties with established trees, varied grades, and mature landscaping to work around. We evaluate the site before drawing a single line. Our home additions and renovations page covers how we approach this work from first walkthrough to move-in.
Will my family need to move out during a kitchen remodel in Glen Mills?
In most cases, no. We build temporary kitchens, dust walls, and negative-pressure containment so your family can keep living at home while we work. We plan the phasing with you before the project starts so there are no surprises about what each week will look like.
How does McComsey keep a Glen Mills project on budget?
Every McComsey client gets a JobTread login with daily field reports, photos, and a live budget they can check any time. We walk the site with you each week so you always know where the project stands. Our kitchen projects come in within 5 percent of the original budget, and we hand over the keys on the schedule we agreed to at the start.
Do you build barns or pool houses on Glen Mills acreage?
Yes. The larger properties around Glen Mills are a natural fit for horse barns, car barns, party barns, and pool houses. We build accessory structures with the same in-house cabinetry and craft we bring to the main house, and we manage them as a single integrated project when the work is happening alongside a renovation or addition.
