    Transform Your Space | Stunning Bathroom Design That Blend Style and Function

    Some might say a bathroom remodel is pretty straightforward. Of course, it must be functional, but how creative can you get with tile and towel rack design? While most new bathrooms seem to all look alike, our Designers and Design Consultants like to think outside the box, mixing and matching materials and finishes. Like this design template, a Modern Glam style is anything but standard and predictable. 

    Add a Bit of Bling 

    Do you crave more vibrant design with a touch of shimmer? We don’t think sparkle should be reserved for main entertaining areas only! Whether you hope to remodel a small guest bathroom or your owner’s suite, our Modern Glam design brings a hint of Hollywood to your home. 

    Turn up the wow-factor with bold hues, gold accents and slightly softened edges. Let our Modern Glam design style serve as the inspiration for your own personalized spin on a ritzy, contemporary bath. In this design, warm, wood-feel floors anchor the deep teal cabinetry. Strikingly veined countertops and shower panels by Cambria stand out behind brushed gold fixtures and hardware from Kohler. The Modern Glam design style exudes sophistication and glitz for any size bathroom remodel!

    The Midas Touch 

    One of the most striking features of our new Modern Glam design template are the gold components. Over the past few years, this style element has become one of the hottest trends in home design. Our bathroom fixture and hardware options in gold include a sleek faucet, towel ring, robe hook, toilet paper holder, towel bar and shower trim, all from Kohler’s “Purist” collection. Additional finish options include shiny, gold drawer pulls from Top Knobs and an elegant LED sconce from Ferguson that can be mounted in different ways to suit your ideal bath layout.

    One of the things we’re most excited about in creating new design plans is to see just how special our clients will make them. No two baths are ever the same! Indeed, they always are personalized to your unique taste and include quality, streamlined installation by the best professionals in the business.

  • Why Should You Buy Fixtures from Your Contractor?

    Why Should You Buy Fixtures from Your Contractor?

    Have you ever wondered why prices for a plumbing fixture can vary so much? What may seem like a terrific opportunity to save money on your remodeling project is often not the case. Although there are some materials our clients can purchase and supply for their projects, plumbing is not one of them. Occasionally, we will get asked “Can I purchase my own plumbing fixtures? I found a great deal online!” Our answer is always, “Sorry, no you cannot.” Sound harsh or inflexible? Maybe, but consider these scenarios:

    • What if items arrive defective or damaged?
    • What if the specifications don’t work with the beautiful countertop and vanity you selected?
    • How will you deal with items which cannot be exchanged or returned?
    • How will this affect your project’s completion date?
    • What will happen if the product is discontinued before the warranty is up?

    Our Team and the professional plumbing trade partners we work with are equipped to handle all of these scenarios and more. When we purchase and supply plumbing fixtures for our clients, we own all of the management of those materials. More importantly, our professional plumbing trades, nor The Cleary Company CANNOT warranty any installation of plumbing products or materials purchased from superstores, discount warehouses and/or online retailers.

    Where You Purchase Plumbing for Your Remodel Matters!

    So why are retail and sale prices at plumbing supply distributors higher than the superstores (Home Depot, Lowe’s etc.) and online retailers (Amazon, Wayfair, Overstock, etc.)? Read on to learn the top 3 reasons, provided as a courtesy, so that you can make the best decision for your home improvement project.

    1. Volume. Superstores and online retailers derive a portion of their profits from manufacturers’ rebates based on sales volume and can recover a portion of their discounted consumer prices. They however assume no liability and pass on the manufacturer’s warranty.  What this means to the homeowner is if you experience a problem with your purchase you will deal directly with the manufacturer via email or phone to resolve any issues.
    2. Customer service! Our relationships with local reps can get most issues resolved quickly and efficiently and in some cases, get product replaced at no additional cost to our clients. Note, when purchasing products on Amazon remember you’re not necessarily buying it FROM Amazon. Who do you contact for help then?
    3. Quality. There is a difference! Products and materials purchased from plumbing supply distributors are made with original ceramic disc valves, all brass construction, threaded connections, metal drain assemblies, etc. Those same fixtures at a big box retailer are going to be DIY friendly with quick connections, which could include plastic parts.

    What Can You Purchase and Supply for Your Remodeling Project?

    Good news, there may be some materials and products that you can purchase for your project. Some more common examples are ~

    • Lighting fixtures – pendants, chandeliers, etc.
    • Bathroom accessories – mirrors, towel bars and robe hooks
    • Kitchen appliances – ranges, cooktops, microwaves, etc.

    But, before you run out to the store, make sure you have all the specifications and measurements in hand for your space. While that large chandelier may look beautiful in the store, it may not work in your home. Doors will still need to open and it will need to provide clearance for those walking underneath it. These are just a few of the many things you will need to consider when you are making your purchases and providing your own materials. When our experienced Design Team specifies and orders products for your home remodel, we can ensure all your selections meet the requirements for the entire project.

    Our professional relationships with our suppliers and manufacturers’ representatives give our Team access to the most current information on trends, new or discontinued models, finishes, and more. Contact our Team to Get Started on your next home remodeling project!

  • Timeless Charm Meets Modern Living: Transforming a Bathroom in Dublin, OH

    Timeless Charm Meets Modern Living: Transforming a Bathroom in Dublin, OH

    Throughout Central Ohio, there are many beautiful neighborhoods with homes established prior to the turn of the century. In order to keep these homes functional and updated for years to come, more families are choosing remodeling to modernize high-traffic spaces, such as bathrooms. A local couple recently reached out to see how we could help them with their Dublin bathroom remodel.

    Client Profile: Julie and Dan contacted The Cleary Company and their remodeling Team to renovate their family’s outdated bathroom. How did they feel about the remodeling journey, the work of our Lead Carpenters and Craftsmen, and the final result? We recently asked them to share their thoughts and experience working with our bathroom remodeling team in their home, especially during a pandemic.  

    How did you first hear about The Cleary Company? 

    We live in Dublin and receive Dublin Life magazine. The Cleary Company had an article in the magazine, so I went to their website and found their bathroom remodeling page. We liked what we saw on the website, so we called them. Now we have a new bathroom! 

    Why did you choose The Cleary Company to remodel your bathroom? 

    We liked their approach for remodeling a bathroom. I wanted something really nice but I didn’t have time or energy to look for everything – I don’t want to look at hundreds of types of hardware, faucets or paint colors. We were able to see the various collections, choose one, and then do some customizations to choose what worked for us. We weren’t doing anything extensive, like removing walls or moving plumbing, so this really worked for us. 

    If you could describe your remodeling experience in three words, what would you choose? 

    Communication, Detail, and Ease of Process   

    What surprised you during the remodeling process? 

    I was pleasantly surprised by the level of attention to detail, not only with the work itself, but during this time of the pandemic, they wiped down doorknobs and work surfaces, and wore masks when interacting with us. All of the workers were very conscientious.  

    We were impressed with their excellent communication. If they happened to be running late he would text to let me know. They even took the time to learn all four of our dog’s names and would greet them by name (correctly!) every day. Our interactions with everyone on the team were very positive. 

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

    I definitely would. In fact, after the sign went up in our yard, several neighbors asked about our experience. All of our homes are about the same age and we aren’t the only ones ready to make some upgrades. We have let them know how impressed we were with The Cleary Company’s attention to detail, the quality of the work, their courteousness, the price, and our overall positive experience.  

    Grateful for clients like Julie & Dan

    It’s humbling to hear from such satisfied clients as Julie and Dan. Our Team is grateful for each new opportunity to help homeowners personalize their homes. We pride ourselves on installing stylish bathroom designs with high-quality materials and detailed workmanship. It’s a great feeling when you know clients like Julie and Dan enjoyed the process and love the final result!
