Michael O'Leary Design & Build Inc: Your Expert Local Construction Company
We’re the best crew to run your operations for a no-regrets project from start to finish. We’re a group of skilled building contractors with decades of collective experience and practice. Licensed, certified, and insured for our customers’ protection as well as our own, we approach every project with one goal in mind: to deliver beyond expectations in a safe and positive work environment.
Building Contractors Who Go Above and Beyond
Rather than cut corners or take the easy way out of tricky situations, we devise solid and durable solutions for any building issue. When construction takes an unexpected turn or meets a surprise bump in the road, we stick to our standards to ensure an uncompromised final result. We’ve built trust in the Woodland community by being forthcoming with unexpected issues as they arise and resolving them fully before moving on with the project. The result is a sturdy, solid build that wasn’t rushed.
What a General Contractor Does for You
When you take us on to oversee the entire project, you benefit from having a constant partner in your project who is able and willing to oversee every aspect. When we’re brought onto the project, we enter the first phase wherein we plan, hear your vision, understand your tastes, answer your questions, and decide on your timeline and budget. We develop a realistic and fair estimate based on the craftsmanship we can provide ourselves and who we need to bring on for specialization.
Organized, Efficient Onsite General Contractor
From day one of work onsite, we’re responsible for ensuring everyone knows what to do and to whom to report. We create as much of a stress-free environment for you as we can by handling all the scheduling, ordering, payments, people, and project management.
Organization is critical to a successful build, and that’s where we shine. At all times, we’re the only ones involved in the project who communicate with you directly. We relay your concerns or comments to the subcontractors and vice versa so that you can maintain a big picture view of the project. At the end of the day, we provide a walk-through and an informal meeting to share progress and projections.
Working with Expert Subcontractors
Michael O'Leary Design & Build Inc.’s crew does much of the work, including preparing the site, concrete work, drywall, and much more. Though we’re there every day and provide all the materials, we sometimes outsource to construction companies specializing in different parts of the build.
We consult with our network of professional experts and hire the best fitting subcontractors to deliver stellar workmanship in their realms, such as:
- Electricity
- Plumbing
- HVAC
- Fire protection
- Carpentry
- Framing

Frequently Asked Questions
Need more information? Our most common questions are answered below.
What Is a General Contractor?
A general contractor oversees construction or renovation projects, including hiring and managing individual subcontractors. Property-owning clients will often hire and deal only with the general contractor, who in turn supervises all other departments such as electrical, plumbing, landscaping, flooring, carpentry, masonry, etc.
What Does a Michael O'Leary Design & Build Inc General Contractor Do?
After hiring all the subcontractors, a general contractor will manage scheduling and payment for all workers. They supply all materials, tools, machinery, and often a work crew of their own for less specialized aspects of the job. They monitor cash flow and safety for the duration.
How Does a General Contractor Prepare an Estimate?
A general contractor will use specialized software to compile a detailed cost estimate for a project based on expected labor costs, materials, equipment, and timeline. If you have an idea of what you want, preparing a list of the expenses for, say, cabinetry or flooring will help expedite the time of estimate preparation.
Are You Insured?
Yes! It’s in our and the client’s best interest to be insured, so of course, we are. Our coverage protects all parties in the unfortunate incident of a worksite accident causing property damage or human injury.
Are You Licensed?
Yes, we’re construction industry professionals with all necessary trade training, safety certifications, and licenses under our belts. Protect yourself by always hiring a licensed, insured general contractor, or be prepared to pay out of pocket for unexpected incidents, including years of workers’ compensation should an injury be sustained.
Does My Remodeling Job Need a Permit?
We recommend erring on the side of caution and getting a permit for any remodeling or renovation project. A permit proves your upgrade was legitimate, correctly done, and up to code. As these things can take time, it’s important to start researching requirements early. Without a permit, you risk being fined and shut down at any point in the construction process. Re-coordinating schedules could delay the project’s end by months, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
At What Point in the Planning Should I Hire a General Contractor?
The sooner, the better. You want to ensure you find a general contractor you feel comfortable with, who shows you past work that appeals to you and is knowledgeable and easy to reach. A reliable, reputable general contractor will likely have several projects on the go, so you want to book them early to secure the time you hope to spend building. For example, you’ll want to start looking for referrals in the previous fall for a spring renovation. The good news is, if you’re here, you’ve already found a reliable, reputable general contractor at Michael O'Leary Design & Build Inc.
How Do I Find Out How Much My Project Will Cost?
As a rule of thumb, once you have your estimate in hand, there’s usually a possibility of unexpected costs being added to the projected total. A project rarely runs without surprise situations that have to be handled—perhaps at an additional cost—before the crew can get back on course.
