    BBQ, Bikes, Family & Pelotonia

    2nd annual “Riding for Chipper” grows it’s participation and dollars raised!

    On Saturday, August 28, 2021, George and his family hosted a Ride-Run-Walk event to raise money and awareness for cancer research. A humid but beautiful day welcomed 125 participants to The Cleary Company’s headquarters located in northwest Columbus Ohio. Among them were many family members and friends of the Clearys and Greenlees who came together to volunteer, ride bikes, run, walk, eat and celebrate Chip’s spirit.

    After the isolation of the past two years, “Riding for Chipper” was a wonderful opportunity to rebuild a sense of community, reconnect with friends and family, get our bodies moving and have fun while supporting innovative cancer research. Participants and guests were also treated to a barbeque picnic. On the menu was smoked pulled pork, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, chips and cookies.

    The BBQ masters responsible for the delicious food were also dear friends of Chip. Sincere gratitude and thanks to Rick Keeler, Ron Scott, Dan Fronk & Mike Kreider. Also lending behind-the-scenes support was Bill Greenlee, Andy Shaffer, & Jim Schrim. They all agreed, “It was an honor & privilege to use Chipper’s smoker & serve those who helped raise money for cancer research. Chipper was there with us in spirit & proud for what it was we achieved.”

    Thanks to everyone’s efforts over $3,500 was raised that day! Winners for the Trek E-bike raffle were also announced:

    • EBike – Alex S.
    • Helmet – Marshall S.
    • Jersey – Peg B.

    Jeremy Holmes, George’s nephew, said, “For those of us with youngsters, this event was great for the variety of activities so that all ages could feel fully engaged. My nine-year-old and I rode 12.5 miles. He couldn’t stop telling people that it was his personal record. My five-year-old was so proud that he was in charge of the water bottles.”

    Kudos to Team Cleary Cyclers

    The Team Cleary Cyclers peloton, a riding group George created in 2020 to honor his brother-in-law Chip, was 19 members strong this year. Their combined Pelotonia fundraising goal of $28,350 was nearly tripled to $85,328. Thanks to a generous donor who anonymously gave $25,000 with an additional matching commitment of up to $25,000! The camaraderie of training, riding and fellowship that come from the Pelotonia community is such an uplifting experience for all who participate. Meet our peloton!

    • Riders: George Cleary Sr, Betty Cleary, George Cleary Jr, Sara Greenlee, Chase Greenlee, Mary Greenlee, Jeremy Holmes, Walt Betly, Aaron Enfinger, Margot Sheehan, Andi Simpson, John Hamlett, Jen Sommers, Ron Sima, Markus Sachtler, Stephen Sauer, Mark Mason
    • Challengers: Susie Wroble
    • Volunteers: Jenn McNeil

    Who is “Riding for Chipper” named after?

    Chip Greenlee was George’s brother-in-law & friend of nearly 30 years. He fought Gioblastoma – an aggressive type of cancer that begins in the brain. Sadly he lost his battle on August 22, 2020. To know Chip was to love the guy. He lived a full, energetic, joyous life, cut short after a valiant battle with brain cancer. It was only fitting that we would gather to honor his memory by celebrating some of his favorite things: Barbeque, Bikes and Family.

    For some of us, “Riding for Chipper” was an emotional memorial to a dearly missed husband, father, brother, cousin, uncle, and friend. For others, it was an opportunity to have fun and do a little bit of good on a Saturday. No matter our motivations, we’d like to think Chip was with us that day and would have approved!

    Pelotonia: One Goal – End Cancer!

    Team Cleary Cyclers continues to raise funds through October 31, 2021 to achieve the ONE GOAL – END CANCER! Donate today to Team Cleary Cyclers OR Visit pelotonia.org for more information and to find out how you can help support Pelotonia’s mission.

  • Dublin Couple Finds Perfect Partner for Bathroom Remodel

    Dublin Couple Finds Perfect Partner for Bathroom Remodel

    After meeting with several companies at their home and not being satisfied with the information presented, a sighting of a sign in a neighbor’s yard changed the narrative for Mike and Paula of Dublin. They now love to show their remodeled main bathroom to anyone who wants to see it!

    How do they feel about their remodeling journey, the quality of the work and the end result? We asked them to share their thoughts and experience so you can understand why they love their new bathroom!

    Bathroom Remodeling with The Cleary Company

    Why did you hire The Cleary Company for your bathroom remodel?

    After meeting with a few companies and reviewing some estimates, we just weren’t pleased with what we’d heard and seen. Coincidentally, Aaron Enfinger, (Chief Operations Officer for The Cleary Company) is our neighbor. He had a sign in his yard and we talked with him about our needs.

    We visited their bathroom design studio. The materials were the quality we were searching for, and we really liked the people. A key difference for us was being able to see and touch all of the materials we selected. The other companies we talked with had just come to the house with photos of the materials.

    What did you like best about their remodeling process?

    The quality of products our Designer proposed was exactly what we wanted for our bathroom. A no-pressure sales tactic was a welcome change and being able to easily select from the curated materials and design we wanted sealed the deal!

    What was your favorite part of working with their bathroom remodeling Team?

    We really appreciated their attention to detail. The team taped off the areas of our home that needed protection for the remodeling of our main bathroom that is off of our bedroom. They took care of everything!

    As messy as a remodel can be, they kept everything neat and tidy. The managers came to check on the progress of the project. Everyone that worked in the house was very professional, polite, and even greeted our dog every day. From the first time visiting the showroom to sitting and talking with Thomas and the team, everything was handled professionally.

    The entire process was excellent!

    Describe your bathroom remodeling experience in three words?

    Oh My Gosh!! We’d do it again. That is more than three words, but it’s how we feel! Here are three more words we would use to describe our experience – Quality, Professionalism, Timeliness.

    Would you recommend their bathroom remodeling Team to your friends and neighbors? Always. We have already recommended them to four or five neighbors. We also have three more bathrooms we might have complete.

    We have no hesitation recommending or showing our bathroom to anyone who wants to see it. The attention to detail and the quality of work is impeccable. Every morning when we go in the bathroom, we are so happy! We love the bathroom!

    What advice would you offer to someone considering a bathroom remodel?

    We moved into our guest suite during the remodel. It’s great to have other usable spaces in your home separate from the remodel if you plan on staying in your home during the remodel. They blew our entire bathroom out and moved the drain for a tub.

    Successful Results

    We are thankful for happy clients who love their new bathrooms and share their remodeling experience and The Cleary Company name with others. Providing an exceptional remodeling experience, high-quality products, and being able to personalize the bathroom for each and every client is not something we take lightly. We thank them for their trust in us!

  • Full Bathroom Remodel in Grandview, Ohio

    Full Bathroom Remodel in Grandview, Ohio

    Client Profile: As Sean’s kids get older, updating their shared bathroom took center stage. A bigger shower/tub combo, double sink vanity and better function were needed. Modernizing the bathroom with a hint of mid-century adds to the home’s overall look with the other updates he’s making. Some of the special details in the Grandview, OH bathroom were porcelain panels wrapping the entire shower area, exposed brick and a European shower screen for the shower glass.

    Why did Sean choose the bathroom remodeling team at The Cleary Company in Columbus, Ohio and what was his experience like? As he says, it was like working with family–in the best way!

    Q & A with Sean Grandview Heights, OH

    Why did you select The Cleary Company for your bathroom remodel?

    I had heard about The Cleary Company from my friend and neighbor. She had them complete a gorgeous kitchen remodel.

    Being a busy working parent, I know how much work it would take to manage all of the parts of a project. I needed someone to be able to remodel the bathroom from beginning to end–from demolition to design, from the construction work to the finishing touches. I wanted the white glove treatment and to work with a partner who, because they handle every part of the remodel, could complete this in a quick timeframe. It bathroom my kids use so it needed to be a timely remodel. Their Team has a great reputation. I knew they could handle everything the way I wanted it to be completed.

    What did you like best about the bathroom remodeling process?

    Their Team made it seem easy. They came to my house, looked at the space and talked through my options. I went to the bathroom design studio to look, touch, and feel all of the components I might use in the bathroom. I was presented with drawings, 3D pictures, and everything I needed to be informed and be part of the process. They followed up with clear processes– timeline, costs, written documentation. I knew who the team members were and who would be in my house. They made it easy to make decisions and get on with the rest of my life.

    What was your favorite part of working your bathroom remodeling Team.

    They made it enjoyable! Coury, Pete and everyone are really nice people. They were pleasant to work with and made the remodel an easy process. It was a serious project but we had fun doing it. It felt like I was dealing with family, they just didn’t stay overnight, ha! They are such a good group of people with great attitudes and that makes all the difference. I was also very impressed with how clean they kept the working area every evening and the rest of the house wasn’t affected at all by the dust or demolition!

    Were there any unique features or changes you desired for your bath remodel?

    I can think of two stories to tell. The first one is that they knocked out a wall to get to a closet in my son’s room that wasn’t being used. But it was diagonally sloped. We made it into a unique bath/shower that works really well in the space.

    Stealing floorspace from an adjacent bedroom closet created enough room to install a custom double sink vanity.

    The second story involves the fact that this home is very old. When they were knocking out the low soffit over the existing shower ceiling, they found a 100+ year old water tank produced by the Flint & Walling Mfg Co. It was removed and the extra cost was exactly what was written after the verbal assessment. Since it is part of the history of the house, I’m saving it for use in my outdoor landscaping in some way.

    What advice would you offer to someone who is thinking of remodeling their bathroom?

    By choosing a team that could handle all phases of the project, we were able to share multiple viewpoints/skillsets from everyone involved and discuss design and functional elements that might have otherwise been overlooked. Is the towel rack in the right spot, what kind of waterproofing do we need, where do the light switches need to go, which way does the door need to swing so as not to bump someone standing at the sink? Coury and the design process prevented me from making little mistakes in my choices or requests. Everyone is so experienced and we could all communicate our thoughts and not make any missteps. We made little adjustments without compromising the overall timeline or cost.

    Describe your experience in three words?

    Professional (I can’t say it enough), Perfection, and Fun (family-oriented)

    Would you recommend The Cleary Company to your friends and neighbors?

    Yes! If someone wants to take on a project like this…managing it yourself, the contractors, etc., and save money, could you do it cheaper? Sure, but with risk, delays, and stress. But if you want a high-quality project and feel like you are being taken care of, things being done right the first time, I will absolutely recommend them. For me, I know I will use them again!

    It was great to work with them. I had other little projects I was working on around the house and they were always willing to offer advice or answer questions that I had. They felt like family and went above and beyond while they were here. They clearly hire people who like what they do and are good at it. The other thing that plays into my recommendation was the timeline. It was a realistic timeframe for the bathroom remodel to be finished. They weren’t rushed, materials were on site when needed, and everyone was able to get their work done in a timely manner. That takes planning and experience to have every part of the project come together on time.

  • Mid-Century Whole House Remodel in Upper Arlington

    Mid-Century Whole House Remodel in Upper Arlington

    Project Spotlight – Midwest suburban home gets new life as contemporary California ranch and wins NARI of Central Ohio Contractor of the Year award.

    Single story homes, most commonly known as ranches, for the most part, have recognizable characteristics such as low rooflines, deep overhangs, a covered entry, typically are one room deep and integrated to nature with backyard patios. The most common subsets of this architectural design are Suburban, Tract, Modern and California style.

    The California ranch was originally designed by the Californian architect, Cliff May, and built in 1932. The inspiration behind the design of the California ranch was taken from the Arts and Crafts Movement. In fact, similar aspects can be seen in these homes that were borrowed from the bungalow-style homes.

    Main features of the California style ranch home include:

    • Wide eaves with one or more rooflines
    • Open concept floorplan with a “U” or “L” shaped layout
    • Expansive outdoor living spaces with multiple patios and/or decks
    • Large windows and sliding glass doors – connecting indoors and outdoor spaces
    • Minimal interior and exterior decorations
    • Vaulted ceilings in main living spaces, can also be in bedrooms
    • Casual, informal interior layout
    • An attached garage

    In 2019 we were hired to design and remodel an entire 3000sf single-story home built in the late 1950s in Upper Arlington, OH. Our clients requested an open concept floor plan with vaulted ceilings and modern finishes. After several months of design, planning and estimating, the decision was made to tear off the roof and demo all of the walls so only the basement and foundation remained of the original home.

    The result is a contemporary California-style ranch home customized to a family of four’s busy lifestyle. In October of 2020 this home was featured on the NARI of Central Ohio’s Fall Home tour.

  • Why Lead-Based Paint Safety is Important

    Why Lead-Based Paint Safety is Important

    Lead-based paint is poisonous! It was commonly used on the interiors as well as the exteriors surfaces and many homes built before 1978 have lead-based paint in them. Lead has also been used for many years in products found in and around our homes. What makes Lead-based paint so dangerous?

    The smallest lead dust particles cannot be seen but they can get into the body. The dust and chips from lead-based paint are dangerous when swallowed or inhaled, especially to small children and pregnant women. Lead can affect children’s developing nervous systems, causing reduced IQ and learning disabilities. In adults, high lead levels can cause high blood pressure, headaches, digestive problems, memory and concentration problems, kidney damage,
    mood changes, nerve disorders, sleep disturbances, and muscle or joint pain. A single, very high exposure to
    lead can cause lead poisoning. Lead can also affect the ability of both women and men to have healthy children.

    Beware, all home repairs can create even a small amount of lead dust which is enough to poison your child and put your family at risk. For more information, read EPA’s guide that describes why you should hire a lead-safe renovator.

    Common renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb lead-based paint (like sanding, cutting, replacing windows, etc.) can create hazardous lead dust and chips which can be harmful to you and your family. As contractors renovating residential homes, The Cleary Company Remodel-Design-Build in Columbus Ohio plays a critical role in helping to prevent lead exposure. Our Team of experienced professionals can test for the presence of lead and if found will prep a jobsite and follow all lead-safe work practices. These steps can prevent lead hazards in our clients’ homes.

    Our Team is committed to education and certification for this important safety requirement in our industry. The Lead-Safe Renovation certification is required for contractors remodeling structures built before 1978 by the US EPA and Ohio Revised Code.

    Team members who have completed training and hold US EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm credentials:

    • Jonathan Neely, CLC
    • Pete Mossman, CLC
    • Thomas King
    • Ian Dyer
    • Joseph Hamlett
    • John Hamlett 
    • Luis Martinez

    Excavation for this project began in February 2020 just a few weeks before Ohio’s Stay at Home order. Thankfully the home construction industry was deemed an essential service by Governor DeWine and the project moved forward. Only a few minor supply chain delays due to the pandemic arose but the project was completed in early summer 2020. This project also included an exterior remodel of the 2-story suburban home along with a new stamped concrete patio and custom pergola.

    George Cleary – Why I Ride

    Pelotonia was never just about the ride. It’s always been about setting and achieving goals to fight a disease that impacts all of us. Cancer has affected everyone’s life. I can’t think of a single person I know that has not either lost someone or has been touched by this disease. That’s why I ride!

    Pelotonia is truly the most enthusiastic, positive experience that I have ever been part of. My brother-in-law, Chip Greenlee, encouraged me to get involved. We rode together for many years on Stephanie Spielman’s Team of Hope peloton. Over the last 11 years, I have had many of my friends (Tim, Adam, Sheila, Rick, Henry, just to name a few), die from cancer and when my mom, Betty, lost her battle with Leukemia in 2013 I kicked up my commitment to ride on the 2-day 180-200 mile route. I wanted to show her that I could do more by grinding through a second day even though I’m tired and don’t want to get back on that little bike seat.

    Since 2008 George has personally raised almost $37,000 for cancer research for Pelotonia!

  • Renovation Lifecycle – Construction

    Renovation Lifecycle – Construction

    Making the decision to hire a remodeler into your home is exciting and rewarding! It can also feel overwhelming but with our Design-Build Team at The Cleary Company in Columbus OH as your remodeler, you will feel at ease through the entire renovation lifecycle. Our process ensures organization, timeliness, communication, and a high level of quality craftsmanship. Here is what you can expect once construction begins on an average-sized Design-Build home remodeling project.

    Jobsite Pre-Construction Meeting (1-2 hours) – Meet the Project Manager and Lead Carpenter assigned to your project.

    • Review project’s schedule
    • Discuss your family’s weekday routines
    • Daily access to home
    • Communication – How best to reach you?
    • Meetings – How often do you want updates?
    • Placement of dumpster and/or port-a-john
    • Parking

    After this meeting, you can start to clear out the areas in your home where we’ll be working. Next up construction begins!

    Phases of Construction in the Renovation Lifecycle

    Demolition (1 week) – Our Production Team takes special care to protect your home during the demo phase. Visqueen plastic walls are installed to minimize dust & dirt from other areas of the home. We also carefully remove all appliances, cabinets, fixtures etc. that can be reused and donate them on behalf of our clients to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore. The donation keeps items out of the landfill and gives our clients a receipt for their taxes. We also save any metal for recycling.

    Foundation & Framing (1-2 weeks) – Details matter and a good remodel starts with a solid foundation and proper structure. Our Production Team uses only the highest quality construction materials and industry best practices.

    Mechanicals & Insulation (2-3 weeks) – It’s the stuff you can’t see when the project is complete. It’s important to know what’s behind your walls and under your floors. Our Production Team documents your project by taking photos and entering job logs into BuilderTrend. This is not only for future reference but so you can be informed of your project’s progress even when you’re not home.

    Drywall (2 weeks) – It’s the messiest phase! This is probably the most frustrating stage of construction for most homeowners. In addition to using Visqueen & ZipWalls to protect the areas of your home, our Production Team takes additional precautions to minimize construction dust. Our Lead Carpenters regularly check your furnace air filters and will replace or clean them if needed.

    Almost there You’re in the Home Stretch!

    Cabinets & Trim (2 weeks) – Since a majority of the cabinets we purchase are custom designed for your project, our experienced carpenters are able to minimize or even in most cases eliminate filler strips that maximize your storage space. Once your cabinets are installed our fabricators can measure and template for your countertops.

    Floors (2 weeks) – Before any new flooring is installed our Production Team assures proper “floor prep”. This is the first and most important step of any new floor installation. Whether you choose new or refinished hardwood, carpet, tile, carpet, etc. we will ensure what’s underneath follows best practices for proper installation.

    Paint (1 week) – Painting can easily eat up almost any budget and is usually the first thing clients want to cut when trying to save money. However, in our experience, this can be a mistake, since most homeowners do not realize all the steps needed for a flawless paint job. The Cleary Company hires only the best painters in the business ensuring our clients have a finished product worthy of our expert design and construction.

    Wall Tile (2-5 days) – All good installations require the proper preparations and underlayment for backsplashes, showers, wainscotting, and more. And, as the saying goes, measure twice and cut once. Putting in the time to plan and prepare each layout before installation can save time and money as well as avoid any product shortages.

    Doors, Windows & Siding (1 week) – Proper installation ensures full energy efficiency and guarantees all warranties are valid.

    Final Cleaning (1 day) – After substantial completion of your project, your Project Manager will schedule a professional thorough cleaning of the remodeled and/or newly constructed spaces.

    Punch List (2-5 days) – The end of the Renovation Lifecycle is finally in sight! Our Production Team goes over every detail of your job and walks through the project with you to ensure a complete job as specified in the contract scope and any additional change orders. Our goal is to ensure satisfied clients and raving fans!

    Time to Enjoy!

    While a home remodeling project might seem like an inconvenience for your family and occasionally feels like it will never end, before you know it, you are enjoying your renovated spaces and wondering why you waited so long to renovate your home. Our goal is to provide you with the best information, the most positive experience, and the outcome you expected. We take remodeling seriously and want to give you the very best, from the best! Are you ready to jump in with both feet and remodel your home?
