CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Woolsey built an ADU in our backyard and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. Taking on a construction project at home can be stressful, but their team made the entire process feel organized and under control. From the initial planning stages through completion, communication was clear and consistent. They set realistic expectations, stuck to their commitments, and were proactive whenever questions or decisions came up. What really stood out was how well they managed both the schedule and the budget. They finished earlier than projected and came in very close to the original budget, which is rare in this industry.
We give Woolsey Construction the highest recommendation. They are truly the gold standard of construction companies. We’ve worked with others in the past and our Woolsey team was in an entirely different league – they are top tier in quality, professionalism and ability to successfully solve problems. They bring the best combination of expertise, quality of work and clear communication. They were able to accomplish projects that other companies and G.C.’s said were completely “impossible.”
We had the pleasure of working with Luke and Woolsey Construction to transform our first home into our dream home. Their craftsmanship is absolutely flawless, and their attention to detail is beyond meticulous. Despite our initial concerns about starting a project while starting a family, the crew worked efficiently and with utmost respect. We were so impressed and satisfied with their work that we can’t wait to collaborate with them again for all our future home projects. They truly exceeded our expectations and made our home renovation journey an enjoyable one!
We recently had our 1,200-square-foot home renovated by Woolsey Construction and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you know small, Clairemont homes – then you can picture what ours looked like “before.” Essentially, they completely transformed our kitchen and main bathroom, turning our once cramped spaces into bright, open, and beautifully functional rooms.
The new kitchen is everything we hoped for — airy and full of natural light, with a gorgeous 9-foot island that’s become the heart of our home. It feels spacious and welcoming, perfect for family gatherings and everyday life.
