FOUNDERS

Woolsey Construction was founded in 2007 by San Diego natives Luke & Leah Woolsey. After working in general construction for several years, Luke acquired his General B license and started in the construction industry through real estate investing and residential construction.

We care about each and every one of our clients and ensure the quality of our work is always top-notch.

"I would highly recommend Luke Woolsey and his team for any construction or remodeling job. From bid to final inspection they were great to work with. His bid package included everything that we requested which was just the first indication that Luke pays attention to the details. His sub contractors do high quality work and Luke is there to make sure everything is perfect. He kept us informed throughout the project and in the end we love our casita!"
