Looking for custom homes in San Mateo? ODL Construction is a licensed Bay Area general contractor serving San Mateo and the surrounding Peninsula — from San Mateo Park, Aragon, Hillsdale and beyond. Ground-up custom homes and teardown rebuilds, designed and built to last.
Building a custom home in the Bay Area is the ultimate project — and the one with the most ways to go wrong. Between hillside geotechnical requirements, design review, Title 24, and the sheer coordination of a ground-up build, it demands a builder who manages the whole thing as one disciplined process.
For San Mateo specifically, it comes down to local realities: San Mateo's mix of period San Mateo Park homes and mid-century neighborhoods rewards remodels that match the era — generic finishes underperform here. San Mateo's building department is established and consistent; older neighborhoods can add character and tree considerations on exterior work. We design and permit your custom homes around exactly those conditions.
