Thermador Dishwashers- Important Recall
Dishwashers are the workhorses of the kitchen. Daily (and sometimes multiple times a day!) they mechanically clean and dry your pots, pans, glassware, cutlery and other dishes leaving you more time to enjoy your family and guests. Our Designers frequently recommend Thermador dishwashers to our clients who demand high quality pro performance and require a super quiet wash cycle that won’t intrude family time or entertaining.
In October of 2015 Thermador issued a recall on the following dishwasher models: DWHD64, DWHD65 due to a faulty power cord. As of October 19, 2017 the recall has been expanded to include the following models as well: DWHD44. If you have one of these models, purchased between September 2012 through January 2015, stop using immediately!
Please retrieve your model and serial numbers and schedule a free replacement of the power cord by a authorized service technician by calling 888-965-5813 or visiting the recall homepage.
If you are a current or past Client of The Cleary Company and need help finding the model number of your Thermador dishwasher, please contact us!

New Build Client Testimonial
Kate, Upper Arlington Ohio
Kate has known George and his family for many years. So when she decided to pursue a home addition and major remodeling project project it made sense The Cleary Company Remodel Design Build in Columbus OH was her first and only phone call. Having lived in her home for over 13 years she was ready for a more functional layout to meet her growing family’s needs.
After several meetings with Laura Watson, ASID, UDCP a list was created combining all of Kate’s wants & needs with a proposed scope and design plan. When estimates for the project were calculated into a project budget it was clear the best option was to tear down her existing home and build an all new one. This allowed for the new foundation to be reoriented on her lot creating a private backyard and a circular driveay.

Transitional Kitchen Remodels
Project Spotlight: Transitional in regards to interior design and home remodeling refers to a blend or “marriage” of traditional and modern styles. It’s a timeless contemporary interpretation of elements from a variety of time periods incorporating lines that are less ornate than traditional designs, but not as severely basic as contemporary lines. As a result, transitional designs are classic, timeless, and clean. The transitional style also focuses on comfort and practicality to meet the lifestyle of an active household.
Color palettes are typically neutral and subtle and may be monochromatic, with color in art and accents, not upholstery and floors. Wood finishes are typically warm tones but can range from a natural finish to a high-gloss lacquer. Texture is important and a balanced mix of several textures is often used.
The Cleary Company Remodel-Design-Build, your home remodeling company, in Columbus, OH, remodeled 2 transitional-style kitchens earlier this year that are very different.
Kitchen Renovation Refresh | Dublin, OH
The first home, located in Tartan Fields in Dublin, OH was built in 2000, and features soft warm neutral tones, exposed wood beams, and stainless appliances.

Architectural Digest Features Columbus Ohio Design
Where Clients Become Like Family
When George Cleary founded The Cleary Company in 1994, he began working for clients he had known his entire
life. It was a client base that would lay the groundwork for a philosophy that has permeated his company ever since. “Once clients hire us, they become part of our family,” he says.While his team always explores clients’ personal tastes, budgets and lifestyles, they also gain an in-depth understanding of clients’ greater visions for their homes. “Because we treat every client’s home like our own, we understand today’s decisions will impact tomorrow’s dreams,” he says. “We always design holistically, thinking about clients’ future budgets and projects.”
To help clients navigate the emotional stages of remodeling, Cleary says an in-house project management app and an incredible team of skilled craftspeople foster transparency and customer satisfaction. “The truth about remodeling is that it can be a hard and messy process, but treating clients like family ensures the final product and client experience are exceptional.

Interior Home Maintenance Checklist
This Late Summer To-Do List Will Help Transition Your Home into Fall
Just because most schools in our area are in session, it doesn’t mean summer is over. August in Ohio is usually hot and muggy so with the late summer heat upon us now is the time to tackle some indoor maintenance items. The following checklist will spruce up these often-neglected spaces and keep the dust to a minimum in your home. These tasks can also save you as much as $100 a year on your electric bill if you do them regularly.
- Replace Air Conditioner Filter. It’s important to replace the air filter on your central heating/cooling system every one to three months to keep the system operating efficiently. The arrows on an air filter indicate the direction of air flow. Click here for a DIY video.
- Check Air Conditioner Drain Lines. You’ll want water to move freely thru the line. Sometimes dust and debris can accumulate near the floor drain so cleaning the drain screen is usually all that is needed.
- Clean Bathroom Vents. Removing dust from the covers will help them run quietly and efficiently.
- Clean Range Hood Filter & Fan. You’ll need hot soapy water for this dirty task. Citrus-based cleaners work well as they help cut through grease build up.
- Clean Refrigerator Coils. Use a vacuum to remove dust from underneath and behind your fridge.
