MAC O’BRIEN

OWNER, ANNAPOLIS LEAD


Mac O'Brien is a lifelong Annapolitan, born and raised in the historic seaside city where he now resides with his wife, Rebecca, and their two children. A proud double degree alumnus of the University of Maryland, Mac's path took him through stints in Alexandria, Virginia, and Bethesda, Maryland, before he ultimately returned to his beloved hometown.

For Mac, construction is quite literally a family affair – Great Eastern is a third-generation company, and he was exposed to the trades from a young age. This early immersion instilled in him a passion for rolling up his sleeves, leading to taking over the company's reins in 2016.

Under Mac's leadership, Great Eastern has thrived, tripling its workforce, quadrupling gross sales, and expanding its footprint into Washington D.C. and Virginia. His three-year tenure as a registered real estate agent and realtor in Maryland further augments his industry expertise and comprehensive understanding of the real estate landscape.

In an industry where reputation is paramount, Mac takes tremendous pride in his work and is committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for every client. His personable nature, technical proficiency, and keen business acumen make him an ideal partner for projects of any scale.

Away from the job site, Mac's favorite pastimes include golfing, boating, and, most importantly, spending quality time with his wife and children, cementing his deep roots in the Annapolis community that he has always called home.

Wes Steschner

OWNER, D.C. / VA LEAD


Wes Steschner is a lifelong resident of Montgomery County, born and raised in Potomac, Maryland. From a young age, Wes was immersed in the world of construction, working in his family's custom home building business and growing up on job sites.

After graduating from the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business with a degree in Operations Management, Wes gained valuable experience as the General Manager of his family's event rental company. In 2017, he joined Great Eastern, where he played a key role in expanding the company's footprint into Montgomery County, Washington D.C., and Northern Virginia.

Wes's deep roots in the area and extensive industry knowledge make him an invaluable asset to clients undertaking construction projects in the region. He is passionate about delivering exceptional results and ensuring a smooth and seamless experience from start to finish.

When not on the job, Wes enjoys spending time with his wife, Jackie, and their two sons. He too is an avid golfer, but also loves shooting pool with his family and vacationing at their beach house in Fenwick Island, Delaware.

With his local expertise, commitment to excellence, and personable demeanor, Wes Steschner is the ideal partner for anyone seeking a trusted and skilled contractor in the greater Washington D.C. area.

From Our Clients

  • Judy & Andrew:

    What can we say? We love this crew! Good communication and trust are at the heart of any great relationship and key to how Great Eastern Contracting operate. As promised, they delivered our kitchen with connecting great room and front door arrival renovations in a timely fashion and with very fair pricing. And dare I say that we had fun with this group proving that renovations do not have to be painful.

    This was not our first home renovation. We were prepared for surprising discoveries after walls and ceilings come down and unexpected supply delays arise. And you never really know how it's going to go once you sign that contract. Great Eastern always operated in a timely open manner with creativity, excellent craftmanship and non-budget busting solutions. All without sacrificing our vision.

    From the ever-present design team to the contracting team, we could not have been happier with the people, the process and the results. If you are looking for reliability, a passion for excellence and making some new friends, do not hesitate to go with Great Eastern Contracting!

  • Mary Sue B:

    “Great Eastern, with Mac O'Brien in charge, built a second-story deck on our house. From start to finish, they were first rate. Their proposal was detailed and professionally prepared. Their price was fair. They handled all the permitting. The construction was solid, and the finish carpentry was carefully done. Best of all, Mac kept us informed of progress and promptly returned all calls. We will engage them again, with confidence.”

  • Arthur M:

    "I have a rental property in Maryland that has been a challenge over the years because I moved across country. Recently, the tenants reported a leak in the ceiling and after going through several failed attempts at identifying and correcting the source of the problem, Mac at Great Eastern Properties took over. He got a team down there, coordinating the dry wall rip out, mold remediation, multiple Plummer trips, re-drywall and painting. He kept the price down on everything but most of all communicated with me via email and phone calls throughout the whole process. I couldn't recommend this company enough and I will definitely be doing business with them moving forward. Thanks Mac and Great Eastern Properties! "

  • Liz E:

    "Mac was such a great contractor to work with. Incredibly responsive. No problem too big or small to tackle. We had two bathrooms remodeled and we are extremely satisfied with the completed job. Will be lining up my next project with Great Eastern and would highly recommend. "

  • Susan B:

    "I help to manage my elderly parents' rental property, and in so doing, heard about Great Eastern Properties. I began working with Mac directly on some exterior work that needed to be done in a hurry in order to meet inspection. I talked to him on a Wednesday and that Saturday he had his crew out there getting all the work done, which was rather extensive. He and his crew did a really quality job and went above and beyond! In addition, I felt that he gave us a very fair price. Since then, I have called on Mac to do interior work, as well--again for inspections. I like that he is pleasant and patient, and after working with him twice now I highly recommend him and his crew. I do feel that I can completely trust Mac to do a high quality job in a timely manner and with fair pricing. "

  • Charles:

    "I have worked with Mac at Great Eastern Properties for several projects at my rental property. I live out of state and Mac did excellent jobs in communicating over the phone or email. He made extra efforts (e.g. taking pictures or describing the issue over the phone) that I would have all the information that I needed to make a decision on repair or improvement projects. He was also very easy to talk to and bounced some ideas around. I will definitely reach out to him whenever I need help. Thanks."

  • Steve & Allison:

    Great Eastern Contracting was absolutely phenomenal to work with. Mac, Becca, Rachel, Hamilton and the entire crew were professional, nimble to accommodate changes, and incredibly responsive. They worked to understand the vision we had, and the end result was a remodel that completely transformed our home - and delivered ahead of schedule! Thank you GEC team!

  • Gary F:

    Mac and his crew from Great Eastern Contracting did a total remodel on my basement so we could set it up as a short term rental unit. The entire project went very smoothly. From initial meeting through design and construction and then final delivery. The group is very efficient and offer competitive pricing, the quality of their work and they’re willingness to make changes made them extremely good to deal with.

    I would absolutely refer them to you for any home project that you may have.

  • Mike R:

    Mac and his team remodeled our kitchen, and they did an outstanding job. The communication throughout the project was excellent; Mac was always quick to respond to any questions. His team worked efficiently and effectively, completing the project on time and to a high standard. We are more than excited with the results and are certainly looking forward to using his team again for future projects.

  • Deborah R:

    My husband and I recently moved from NJ to Annapolis purchasing a beautiful, older home.

    We were in quick need of a contractor for some remodeling and repair work. Mac O'Brien from Great Eastern Contracting has been instrumental in helping us settle into our new home in a new state. We have had issues ranging from emergency well repairs, leaks, electrical issues to the installation of new hardwood floors and remodeling projects both inside and outside of the house. Mac has been super quick with resolution, honest, fair quotes and quality work. Mac has a network of service people that can tackle any problem no matter how big or small. It has been truly refreshing working with a genuinely nice, contractor who really cares about his clients!!

  • Leslie J:

    My home is my happy place. It’s where family and friends gather to celebrate our blessings. So, when I was considering a company to remodel my home, I looked for someone with integrity, reliability, and a reputation for caring about the quality of work performed. I found all of this and more with Mac O’Brien and Great Eastern Contracting. The work is impeccable! Each person involved in the project was a specialist with outstanding talent, a great work ethic, and a pleasant personality. I felt like not only my home but my family was cared for. These are the only people I want to work with.
