About The McCarthy Company

A Practical Approach to Residential Construction

The McCarthy Company is a general construction and design-build contractor focused on substantial residential projects throughout Woodside, San Mateo County, and the surrounding Peninsula communities.

The work begins with understanding what the homeowner wants to build, how the property is used, and what the site requires. From there, the company helps define scope, coordinate design and engineering when needed, and manage the construction process with steady communication and careful attention to the details that matter.

  • Major residential scope. New homes, ADUs, additions, remodels, and decks are at the center of the work.
  • Clear coordination. The team works through planning, trades, and construction in an organized way.
  • Built for long-term use. The goal is thoughtful work that fits the home and holds up well over time.

A Different Kind Of Care

Construction Guided By Listening And Coordination

We begin by understanding the goals behind the project, the condition of the property, and the practical details that will shape the work. That gives us a better foundation for planning than a one-size-fits-all approach.

As the project develops, we stay focused on communication, coordination, and the details needed to keep the work moving in an organized way. Homeowners know what is happening, what is being addressed next, and how each step fits into the larger project.

That approach is especially important on new homes, ADUs, additions, and major remodels where many pieces need to come together cleanly over the course of the job.

Common Questions

We handle residential construction projects ranging from new homes and ADUs to additions, major remodels, and deck construction. We also take on foundation and concrete work, structural and rot repair, roofing, kitchens, bathrooms, and other related construction. If your project involves several different trades, we can help coordinate the work as part of the overall job.

Yes. We offer design-build services and can help coordinate the different parts of a project, including design, engineering, architectural work, subcontractors, and construction. Every project is different, so we start by looking at what you already have in place and what still needs to be done.

Yes. New home construction and ADU construction are two of our main services. We can help with the project from the early planning stages through construction, including coordinating the design, engineering, trades, and other work needed along the way.

Yes. We handle complete remodels, whole-house renovations, and home additions. Larger remodeling projects often involve structural work, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, finishes, and several different trades. We coordinate those pieces so the work is approached as one project rather than a collection of separate jobs.

No. You can contact us whether you already have completed plans or are still figuring out what you want to do. If you have plans, we can review them with you. If you are earlier in the process, we can talk through the project and help determine what design, engineering, or planning may be needed before construction starts.

We’ll start with a conversation about what you want to build or change, where the property is located, and how far along you are in the process. From there, we can determine the next step, whether that means looking at the property, reviewing plans, discussing the scope of work, or figuring out what needs to happen before the project can move forward.

Good communication matters on any construction project, especially when there are several trades and decisions involved. We keep homeowners informed as the work moves forward, discuss decisions that need to be made, and address questions or changes as they come up. The goal is to keep everyone on the same page throughout the project.
