General Construction in Burlingame, CA

Serving Burlingame, CA, The McCarthy Company helps homeowners plan and build substantial residential projects with clear coordination and careful execution. We work with people who are considering a new home, an ADU, a major remodel, an addition, or a deck project that needs to be handled thoughtfully from the start.

If you are comparing contractors for an important project, the next step is usually a conversation about your goals, your property, and what kind of construction path makes sense. The McCarthy Company is based in La Honda and serves Burlingame along with San Mateo County and the San Francisco Peninsula.

Local service calls

Burlingame homeowners often reach out when a project goes beyond a simple repair and needs a contractor who can manage scope, structure, and sequencing. That may mean building a new home, adding an ADU, enlarging a house, or reworking an older residence so the final result feels solid, practical, and well integrated.

As a general construction and design-build contractor, we coordinate the moving parts of residential work so the project stays organized. That can include early planning, site review, design coordination, engineering input when needed, trade scheduling, and the day-to-day management needed to move the work forward carefully.

When homeowners call

• They are planning a substantial residential build and want one contractor to coordinate the work.
• They need help shaping the scope of a remodel, addition, or new ADU before construction begins.
• They want a deck, foundation, roofing, or structural scope handled as part of a larger project.
• They prefer direct communication and a clear construction process from start to finish.

Projects we handle

In Burlingame, The McCarthy Company focuses on the kinds of residential construction projects that call for planning, sequencing, and close attention to the existing property. New home construction and new ADU construction receive the strongest emphasis, followed by complete home remodels, additions, and deck construction and replacement.

We also handle related construction work that often comes up during larger residential projects. That includes whole-house renovations, design-build services, kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, foundation and concrete work, rot repair and structural repair, and roofing. When a project needs several scopes coordinated together, that kind of organization matters.

Burlingame homes

Burlingame projects often call for a contractor who can work carefully within an established residential setting while still delivering modern function and durable construction. Some homeowners are expanding a house to create a better fit for daily life. Others are starting from the ground up or turning an underused area into a new ADU that supports long-term flexibility.

For these kinds of projects, the important questions are usually practical: what is already on the property, what needs to be preserved, what should be rebuilt, and how can the work be coordinated so the finished project feels intentional. We approach those decisions with a focus on structure, layout, and how the home will be used over time.

Common project paths

1. Build from the ground up: For homeowners planning a new residence, we help evaluate the site, scope the work, and coordinate construction details.
2. Add usable space: Home additions can change how a property functions while keeping the existing house connected and balanced.
3. Create flexible living space: ADUs can serve a range of household needs when they are planned carefully and built as part of the property.
4. Rework what is already there: Whole-house renovations, remodels, and structural repairs can bring older spaces into better alignment with the way a family lives.

How we work

As a design-build contractor, The McCarthy Company can help keep the design and construction conversation connected. That matters on larger residential projects, where decisions about layout, structure, materials, and trade coordination affect the final result.

The work usually begins with understanding what the homeowner wants the property to do. From there, we evaluate the existing conditions, discuss the scope, and plan the project in a way that supports practical construction. When needed, we coordinate engineering and trades, manage the build, and keep communication active through the work. The goal is a finished project that is carefully built and appropriate for long-term use.

What the process includes

• Understanding goals, priorities, and how the property is used
• Reviewing the site and existing conditions
• Planning scope, layout, and design direction
• Coordinating engineering and trade work when needed
• Managing construction and keeping the work organized
• Completing the project with attention to detail

Materials and structure

Many residential projects need more than visible finish work. Foundation and concrete work, roofing, rot repair, structural repair, siding, windows and doors, electrical panel work, plumbing, HVAC and heat pumps, retaining walls, and water treatment or filtration can all affect how a home performs and how well the larger project comes together.

We handle those related scopes as part of a bigger construction plan when they are needed for the project. That approach is especially useful on remodels, additions, new homes, and deck replacement work, where structure and sequencing are just as important as the finished appearance.

What to expect

Homeowners looking for a contractor for a significant project usually want a straightforward experience. They want someone who will listen carefully, evaluate the site honestly, and keep the work moving in an organized way. That is the kind of approach we bring to Burlingame projects.

When you contact The McCarthy Company, expect a direct conversation about your goals, the scope you have in mind, and the current condition of the property. From there, we can discuss how the project may be approached, what trades or engineering input may be needed, and how the work can be sequenced with care.

We serve Burlingame homeowners as part of a broader service area that includes San Mateo County and communities throughout the San Francisco Peninsula. If your project is still in the planning stage, that is often the right time to start the conversation.
