Quality Home Building Services in Paoli
Paoli sits at the center of the Main Line, where commuter rail convenience and Chester County character have drawn families for generations. The homes here range from older Main Line colonials on established lots to newer custom builds on the wooded streets that spread south toward Malvern and east toward Berwyn. 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, and Paoli sits squarely in the Chester County territory we have worked in for forty years.
Building on the Main Line asks for a builder who can read what a property is and what it wants to become. When you build a custom home in Paoli with us, we come in early, evaluate buildability, help you source the right architect, and stay with you from the first conversation to the day we hand over the keys. Every home is one of one, drawn around how your family lives and how you want to feel in your own house. We do not reuse floor plans.
We are boutique by design, and that philosophy runs through everything. We sit down with you and draw the cabinetry specific to how you cook and gather, then build those cabinets in our own shop. When trees come down on your property, we mill them into the floors, beams, and counters of the new home. Those details are not extras. They are how McComsey has worked since 1986, and the second generation carries them forward the same way.
If you want to add on to your Paoli home or remodel your kitchen, the same team and the same standard apply. For renovations where your family stays in the house, we build temporary kitchens, dust walls, and negative-pressure containment so the work happens around your life, not instead of it. Our kitchens come in within 5 percent of the original budget, and we hand over the keys when we said we would.
You also have full visibility the whole way through. Every McComsey client gets a JobTread login with daily field reports, photos, the live budget, and every file. We walk the site with you each week so nothing surprises you. That kind of transparency is not a feature we added. It is how we have always believed a builder should treat a homeowner who has trusted us with their home. The McComsey name is on every Paoli project we build, and we intend to stand behind it the same way the family has for forty years. Licensed in Pennsylvania (PA015145) and an Andersen Certified Contractor.

Forty Years, Second Generation Hands-On

Our History in Paoli
McComsey Builders has been part of Chester County for forty years, and Paoli has always been part of that territory. Bob McComsey Sr. founded the company in Parkesburg in 1986, and his sons Bob and Mike run it today. The Main Line towns, Paoli among them, represent the kind of Chester County work we know best: established neighborhoods where new builds and renovations sit side by side, properties with older bones that reward a builder willing to go slow and read the site carefully.
The area around Paoli carries real history, from the battle that gives nearby Battle of the Clouds Park its name to the estate grounds that became Wilson Farm Park over in Wayne, with the gardens at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens just up the road. We have always felt that building near that kind of permanence is a responsibility. A home built here has to earn its place on the street and hold up for another generation. That is the work we show up for. The same in-house cabinetry, transparent JobTread budgets, and weekly on-site walk-throughs we have brought to every Chester County project for forty years come with every Paoli job. The second generation of McComsey carries that standard forward, the same as the first.
Frequently Asked Questions - Paoli Remodeling
Does McComsey Builders build custom homes in Paoli, PA?
Yes. Custom home building is our core work, and Paoli and the surrounding Main Line are part of the Chester County territory we have worked in since 1986. We evaluate your lot, help you source the right architect, and stay hands-on from the first walkthrough to the keys. See how we approach new construction on our custom home building page.
Can McComsey handle a renovation on an older Main Line home in Paoli?
Yes. Older homes on established Paoli lots often have structural and layout conditions that require careful planning before any work begins. We evaluate buildability early and take on complex renovations other builders pass on, including additions that change how the whole house lives. Our home additions and renovations page covers how we approach that work.
Can my family stay in our Paoli home during a renovation?
In most cases, yes. For kitchens and whole-floor renovations, we build temporary kitchens, dust walls, and negative-pressure containment so you can keep living in the house while we work. We plan the phasing with you before anything starts, so you know exactly when and how your home will be affected.
How does McComsey keep a Paoli project on budget?
Every client gets a JobTread login with daily field reports, photos, the live budget, and every file, plus weekly walk-throughs on the site with our team. Our kitchens come in within 5 percent of the original budget. That is not a marketing claim. It is a standard we have held for forty years. You always know where your money is going.
Does McComsey build barns and accessory structures on Paoli-area properties?
Yes. On properties with the acreage for it, we build horse barns, party barns, car barns, pool houses, and other accessory structures with the same in-house craft we bring to the main house. If the project fits the property, we can build it.
Why choose a Chester County builder like McComsey for a Paoli project?
We are based in Parkesburg and have built across Chester County since 1986. Paoli is not a new market for us, and the Main Line character, older lots, established streetscapes, and clients who know what they want, is the kind of work we are built for. Second-generation family ownership means the same standards Bob McComsey Sr. set in 1986 are the ones Bob and Mike bring to your project today.
