I’m CJ McClave, owner and founder of McClave Builders LLC, a custom home building and construction management firm serving Chester and Montgomery Counties, Pennsylvania. My journey in construction started early, working alongside my dad – a skilled carpenter who taught me the value of precision, hard work, and pride in every detail.

After spending time with a framing crew in Colorado, I realized building homes was more than a trade – it was a calling. That path led me to AmeriCorps, where I spent a year in Hawaii managing Habitat for Humanity projects. Those experiences strengthened my leadership, patience, and commitment to building with purpose.

Today, I bring that same hands-on approach to every project. I believe the builder-client relationship is a true partnership built on trust, communication, and craftsmanship. My clients appreciate honesty, efficiency, and a process that keeps them informed from concept to completion. We may not be the lowest bid, but we deliver lasting value – skilled tradespeople, quality materials, and complete transparency in every phase of the build.

At McClave Builders, I stand behind every project we take on. Each home we create is a reflection of collaboration, craftsmanship, and care – values that continue to define our work throughout Chester and Montgomery Counties.
