General Contractor Serving Worcester County, MA
Building trust through quality craftsmanship and unparalleled service in Massachusetts.
Meet Douglas Mourao, Founder
Douglas Mourao founded Maverick City Builders to bring honest craftsmanship and reliable communication back to home remodeling in Worcester County. After more than a decade working on residential projects across Central Massachusetts, Doug built MCB around three commitments: show up when you say you will, communicate clearly throughout the build, and finish what you start at the quality you promised.
MCB works to a written contract with a fixed price agreed before any work begins. Every project — whether a $5,000 carpentry add-on or a $200,000 whole-home renovation — is treated with the same level of care, communication, and respect for the homeowner's space.
Doug lives in Worcester County and runs MCB as a local owner-operator. When you call (508) 656-7436, you reach Doug directly during business hours, not a call center.

Meet Douglas Mourao — Founder of Maverick City Builders
Douglas Mourao founded Maverick City Builders to bring a craftsman-first approach to Central Massachusetts homeowners let down by contractors who over-promise and under-deliver. Based in Lancaster, MA. Built on three non-negotiables: show up when promised, communicate proactively, finish what gets started.
Every project treated as if Douglas's own family were going to live in the home. Shapes material selection, subcontractor vetting, daily cleanup, change orders explained and approved in writing before extra work begins.
Written Contracts on Every Project
Maverick City Builders works to a written contract on every project. Pulls every permit required by the local building department — Lancaster, Worcester, and every Worcester County town served — and walks every inspection.
Where We Build — Worcester County and Central Massachusetts
Primary service area covers Lancaster, Sterling, Clinton, Bolton, Berlin, Harvard, Hudson, Leominster, Fitchburg, Worcester, Lunenburg, Shirley — Worcester County and Central Mass towns within roughly 25 miles of Lancaster operating base. Full team and tooling brought to each job rather than subcontracting to whoever's cheapest.
Every project starts with a no-pressure consultation. Douglas or one of our project managers visits the home, walks through the scope, takes measurements, and provides a written estimate within 5-7 business days. No high-pressure sales tactics, no inflated bids designed to leave room for negotiation — just an honest assessment of what the work involves and what it costs. If the scope changes during the project, every change order is documented and approved in writing before any extra work begins, with the cost difference explained line by line.
