Quality Home Building Services in Kennett Square
Kennett Square sits at the center of the Brandywine Valley, a borough where historic homes line tree-shaded streets, working farmland wraps the edges, and Longwood Gardens draws visitors from across the country to see what careful, patient cultivation can become. The homes here have character, and the families who live in them tend to know what they want. 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. For forty years, we have designed and built custom homes, additions, and kitchens for families across Chester County, and Kennett Square is the kind of place we build best.
Building in this area asks for a builder who can read a property. Older stone homes need a team that understands historic materials and how to add on without losing what made the original worth keeping. New construction on the larger rural lots outside the borough rewards a builder who can site a home for the light, the view, and the land, not just the lot lines. When you build a custom home in Kennett Square with us, we come in early, study buildability with you, help source the right architect, and stay with you from the first walkthrough to the day we hand over the keys. Every home is one of one, drawn around how your family actually lives.
We are boutique by design, and you feel that at every stage. We sit down with you and draw cabinets specific to how you cook and how you gather. We build that cabinetry in our own shop. When trees come down on your property during site preparation, we mill them into the floors, beams, and counters of your new home, so a Kennett Square house can be built, in part, from the land it stands on. If you want to add on to your existing Kennett Square home or remodel your kitchen, you get the same attention, plus dust walls, temporary kitchens, and negative-pressure containment so your family can keep living at home while we work.
Every client also gets a full view of the project as it happens. Your JobTread login gives you daily field reports, photos, the live budget, and every file, and we walk the site with you each week. Our kitchens come in within 5 percent of the original budget. We hand over the keys when we said we would. That is what forty years in this part of Chester County has taught us to deliver. If you are also thinking about a barn, pool house, or other accessory structure on your Kennett Square property, we build those too, with the same craft and the same family name behind the work.
Our Kennett Square 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 Kennett Square
McComsey Builders has worked across southern Chester County since Bob McComsey Sr. founded the company in 1986. His sons Bob and Mike run it today, building the same way their father did: tight communication, in-house cabinetry, trusted trade partners, and a small team that takes on serious work. Kennett Square and the surrounding Brandywine Valley have always been part of our territory, a stretch of Pennsylvania where the older stone homes demand careful handling and the newer construction on farmland lots rewards thoughtful siting. Near Anson B. Nixon Park and the open fields south of the borough, families build homes meant to last for generations, and that is exactly the kind of work we do best. The McComsey name has been on every project since 1986, and we bring that two-generation standard to every Kennett Square home, addition, and kitchen we build. We are licensed in Pennsylvania (PA015145) and Andersen Certified, and we partner with leading local architects when the project calls for it.
Frequently Asked Questions - Kennett Square Remodeling
Does McComsey Builders build custom homes in Kennett Square, PA?
Yes. Custom home building is our flagship work, and Kennett Square is part of the core Chester County territory we have built across since 1986. We build on the lot you have chosen or one we help you find, and we treat every home as one of one. You can see how the process works on our custom home building page.
Can you renovate or add on to a historic stone home near Kennett Square?
Yes, and it is some of our most satisfying work. Older stone homes in the Brandywine Valley ask for a builder who knows how to integrate modern systems and new square footage without erasing what made the original home worth owning. We have done this work across Chester County, and we take it on when others do not. Learn more about our approach on our home additions and renovations page.
Can my family stay home during a Kennett Square renovation?
In most cases, yes. We build temporary kitchens, dust walls, and negative-pressure containment so you can keep living at home through the project. We plan the phasing with you before any work starts, so you know exactly what to expect and when.
How does McComsey keep a Kennett Square project on budget and on schedule?
Every client gets a JobTread login with daily field reports, photos, the live budget, and every file, plus a weekly on-site walk-through with our team. Our kitchens come in within 5 percent of the original budget, and we hand over the keys when we said we would. Transparency is how we build every project.
Does McComsey build barns and outbuildings on Kennett Square properties?
Yes. On the larger rural and semi-rural lots common in southern Chester County, we build horse barns, party barns, car barns, pool houses, and other accessory structures with the same craft and family standard we bring to the main house.
Why should a Kennett Square homeowner work with a builder based in Parkesburg?
McComsey Builders has worked across southern Chester County for forty years. We know this part of the Brandywine Valley well, including the older properties near the Kennett Square borough and the newer builds on farmland outside it. Distance within the county is not a factor. We walk every job weekly, and you can follow the project daily in JobTread. Read more about who we are on our about page.
