Clients Tackle Two Dream Bathroom Remodels
“It’s time!” During the summer of 2020, Katie and Mario decided they were ready to remodel 2 bathrooms in their Hilliard home built-in 1991. Both spaces were not only past their prime with dated fixtures and finishes they were also not functioning well for the family’s current lifestyle.

The first remodel completed was the hallway bathroom used mainly by the couple’s two daughters. The footprint remained unchanged but the space was gutted and all of the fixtures and finishes were replaced top to bottom. We needed to complete the hall bath first since the clients would be using it while the primary bath was in construction.

Second, on their list was the primary en suite. This bathroom required a complete redesign of the footprint. This project was completed by our award-winning Design-Build Team.

Q & A with Katie & Mario Hilliard, OH

What was the goal for your remodeled bathrooms?

Our hall bathroom was basic, old, cracked and broken. We wanted a modern beautiful updated space. Although the space limited the size of bathtub we could select, we were delighted to be able to go with a deeper model to be used as a soaking tub.

The goal with our main bathroom, connected to our bedroom, was to create a private, calm Zen-like space. It was a poorly designed footprint with small cut-up spaces and builder-grade finishes. It only had one sink! The existing shower was very small, dark and had several cracked tiles. We were worried about the shower leaking and creating water damage. It was very important to us to have an open floorplan with additional storage, a larger shower and a double vanity with two sinks.

Which feature of your remodeled bathrooms is your favorite?

Everything! The deeper tub in the hallway is wonderful because we can fully soak in it. We also appreciated their recommendation of relocating the shower plumbing to another wall. This makes it much easier to use, eliminating the bending and reaching around the toilet. Both bathrooms feature custom vanities that are taller and shower niches that add much-needed storage.

What advice would you offer to someone who is thinking of remodeling their home?
- Planning – Make sure you are ready to do it—we talked about it for years before we were ready.
- Budget – Be prepared for it to cost a bit more than you think it will because it probably will.
- Schedule – Give yourself time and understand that it may take longer than planned.
- Construction – Be prepared for people in your home during working hours and, of course, the inevitable mess (even though everyone on our project did a great job of keeping our home as clean as possible).
We also learned that a good project manager makes a significant difference, giving us a primary contact with clear information and who is well-organized. I always knew who to call. Go with a company that sets you up with a project manager and the keys for success.

The Cleary Company Difference

Why did you choose The Cleary Company for your bathroom remodels?

We’ve lived in our home for 20 years and wanted it done well! We only had one other company look at our hall bath, but their options were a bit limited for what we wanted. My husband knew George Cleary from Bishop Watterson High School. When I was looking around on The Cleary Company website, I saw the option to use bath2BATH. This made sense for the hall bath since we would not be changing its footprint.

I did talk to some neighbors about their projects with other companies and it seemed like the pricing was going to be similar. When we visited the design center, we talked to George. After speaking with him and everyone else at The Cleary Company, we made our minds up to do it the right and lasting way!

Because we had two construction options available to us, had seen their signs around for years and knew they were a reputable company we didn’t seek out any other remodelers.

What was your favorite part of working with The Cleary Company?

The people! One of our favorites was meeting our design team on a visit to the design studio. We felt welcomed immediately and they showed us all our options. George also popped in to sit and talk with us. Everyone we worked with laid out the process and explained how each step would break down, from start to finish. They helped us understand how long it would take.

Because our construction was during the pandemic, before vaccines were available, we were extremely pleased with the communication, cleanliness and safety precautions each person took while in our home. When my husband and daughter had to quarantine with COVID, everyone was so flexible and friendly when our project was on hold.

If you were asked to explain in one word why you chose to do business with The Cleary Company, what would it be?

Professionalism or Quality (I know it’s two, lol!)

Would you recommend The Cleary Company?

Yes! It was a team effort, and we are incredibly happy with our bathrooms.

Just for Fun!

Who stood out? Name a Team member(s) and how did they exceed your expectations.

The Lead Carpenter for the hall bath project stood out because he basically did everything himself. The plumber and tile cutter helped, but he was a one-man show. His work ethic and talent were impressive.

Justin, the Project Manager for our primary bath, was amazing and kept everything on schedule.

Katie, our Designer, was not on-site, but if there were questions we needed help with, she came out to our home to help out. We appreciated the design plans they created.

All the workers that came into our home worked hard, did the best to their ability, and were able to be flexible. There were big supply chain issues and when we had to wait for products or materials to arrive, they utilized the time they had by doing other parts of the project.

Ready to Ditch Your Garden Tub?!
What once was a “wow” amenity years ago in many new primary bathrooms, now doesn’t hold this same affection. A large built-in garden tub was considered a thing of beauty back in the day but hasn’t stood the test of time.

Built-in garden tubs use gallons of water, are not easily navigated with their large tiled decks (especially as we get older), are difficult to clean, and take up valuable bathroom floor space. Garden tubs evoked the spa-like aesthetic we all craved in the 80’s & 90’s, but for today’s lifestyle, these oversized tubs just don’t cut it for many of our clients who are looking for easy care and maintenance for their bathroom remodels. In fact, removing them is the first request from clients looking to hire our team to design and rebuild their new bathroom.

Why remove it?
- Install a larger walk-in shower with a smaller freestanding tub or no tub at all.
- It could add value to your home, as most buyers don’t want a garden tub.
- To free up space for more storage, a larger toilet area, double sinks, and more.
- For a spa-like shower experience, filled with all the bells and whistles – steam, multiple showerheads, sound, lighting – to make it special. (You’ll never want to get out!)
Design ideas to spark your dreams:

Now that you’ve decided to remove your garden tub, what will you add in its place?
- Consider a large walk-in shower. For living in place design, a zero-entry or low threshold shower eliminates the need for a large edge to step over.
- A larger shower also allows for adding a bench, whether it’s used as a footrest or for sitting, they can be either built-in or removable.
- Installing a larger vanity with double sinks creates more countertop space and storage.
- Add additional storage by expanding a nearby closet, create a new closet, or add open shelving.
- Free-standing tubs are much smaller but can still incorporate some of the functions of larger garden tubs. Our Designers like the Evanescence Collection from BainUltra.
- A “wet room” design, incorporates the shower and free-standing tub in the same area which is typically separated from the rest of the bathroom by a glass partition or tiled wall.
For inspiration, take a look at some of our gorgeous bathrooms after the removal of a garden tub!

At The Cleary Company Remodel-Design-Build in Columbus OH, our Designers and Design Consultants listen to your needs and issues with your space and collaborate on a plan that incorporates fixtures and finishes to solve those problems.

In February, four members of our Team attended the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas. Design Consultants Shannon Tannehill & Margot Sheehan came back excited to share with us and their clients all of their favorites.

What trends are they most excited about?

  - Natufia Smart Garden, grows 32 plants simultaneously with automatic watering and lighting to allow you to enjoy fresh, flavorful, and nutritious-packed plants anywhere, anytime.
  - Kohler bathtubs offer 4 types of bathing features – Soaking, Heated Bubble Massage, Whirlpools, and Vibracoustic. Their signature hydrotherapies create a luxurious spalike experience.

  - Beko Washing Machine – The Eco Recycled Tub is the first washer made from recycled plastic bottles. It uses 30% less energy and features 60 recycled water bottles used to make the drum of each washer.
  - GE Profile Kitchen Hub – An innovative way to have smart home integration. Incorporating U+ connect app and Google Assistant along with a guided cooking app and the ability to stream music, shows and movies.
- Living in Place — This has been at the forefront of design for the last few years. We need cleanable, multi-use spaces that are bigger and more adaptable, to make life easier at all ages. What we loved:
  - Appliances – LG Signature Kitchen French Door Refrigerator. It features reduced depth for easy access, LED lighting for clear visibility and the bottom drawers are interchangeable between freezer or refrigerator storage.
  - Lighting – A well-lit home is a safer home for all. Natural light plays a huge role in mental and emotional health of all, especially those living alone. Motion sensor lights not only conserve energy but are helpful for moving around your home at night. Toe kick lights on bathroom vanities are also helpful.
What sparked their inspiration at KBIS?

Color, color, color

Colors are a true reflection of our environment, and the impact our health has had on us the past few years. We saw color in appliances, cabinetry, knobs and drawer pulls, paint, tiles, and more. The reigning colors included:
- Green—evoking nature, outdoors, organic feel
- Blue—evoking a feeling of trust
- Pink—suggesting calmness
- Taupes—moving us away from grays and bringing earthiness and serenity
Artfulness

Art can make us feel and react in different ways. Our designers were so intrigued by the artful designs they saw that turned sinks, tubs, shower flooring, shower drains, countertops, tile, lighting, and range hoods into pieces of art for your home.

Outdoor living

The options are endless for taking cooking and entertaining outdoors. The days of a grill on a patio have been encompassed by outdoor kitchens complete with refrigerators, waste containers, sinks, cabinets, countertops, and pizza ovens. If you want something from your kitchen outside, it can be done!

KBIS always brings our Team new ideas, excitement and energy! We’re ready to incorporate these new products and ideas into our projects for 2022 and beyond.

Fun & Inspiration from KBIS in Las Vegas!

Bathroom Remodeling | Hilliard, OH

Project Spotlight: The bathrooms on the second floor in our client’s Hilliard home built in 1991 were dated and worn. The primary bathroom floorplan had an odd layout with wasted space. The hallway bathroom was lacking much-needed storage. Both bathrooms received significant upgrades in fixtures and finishes and the primary got a whole new layout with a large double vanity with quartz countertops!

Project 1 – Primary Bathroom Remodel – by our Design-Build Team.

Walls were moved to square off the footprint and add square footage. The entire floorplan was reorganized for better use of space. Locations of the plumbing were relocated to make better use of space and allow for a new double vanity.

Home Addition & Remodel | Upper Arlington, OH

Project Spotlight – An extensive remodel to a modest ranch home in Upper Arlington Ohio. Our clients needed additional living space and more bedrooms. The Design-Build Team at The Cleary Company in Columbus Ohio created a new floorplan.

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.

Personalize Your Style

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.

We encourage you to visit our design showroom in Columbus and create the ultimate look you want for your home. Using our new Modern Glam style as inspiration is sure to bring about some of the most dazzling bathrooms in Central Ohio!

Tile, Design & Home Remodeling
Any innovative design takes advantage of current style trends and although our Team is always on the lookout for what’s new we also try to stay true to classic design principles. Cement, ceramic or porcelain tiles are not only functional elements of your home remodel but can also add color, texture and personality. A hallmark of any good design is balance between function, form & character.

When selecting tile during your home remodel, whether it’s for flooring, backsplash or fireplace, our Design Team at The Cleary Company Remodel-Design-Build in Columbus, Ohio will collaborate with you to find just the right product.

Tile Trends for 2022

Artful tile designs can create beautiful configurations by mixing colors, textures, patterns, sizes, and shapes. Cleary Design Consultants Shannon Tannehill & Margot Sheehan recently returned from KBIS, the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Orlando, Florida. They spent several days taking in all of the new product offerings from plumbing and cabinets to countertops and appliances as well as tile.

Below is a list of the refined trends they found for tile in kitchens, baths and laundry rooms!
- Bringing nature into your home with hues found outside your window and lifelike features such as stone, wood grain textures and concrete all bring the look and feel of natural design to your remodeled spaces. Unexpected shapes for tile likes leaves, waves, feathers, or ribbons can also create a stunning look.
- Using geometric shapes and placing them in interesting patterns makes a layout unique. Examples from Art-Deco designs include triangles, diamonds, chevrons and ellipses. Traditional classic examples include penny tiles, hexagons and arabesques.
- Mosaics are small pieces of tile that are held together in a sheet. They can come in many different shapes, sizes and be made out of glass, metal, stone, real pebbles, porcelain and more. Some designs create a specific pattern and others can be more random. Our Design Team likes using them for pops of color to add interest!
- Prints and patterns used in tile designs and how they are installed have truly endless options and can establish whatever look you desire. Mixing and matching from different types is tricky but our Team’s extensive experience ensures excellence in the design and the installation.
How does tile impact the design?

The most popular remodeling projects that include tile are Kitchens & Bathrooms.

Tile can take an area from boring to beautiful with some careful planning. A laundry room or bathroom floor with a pop of whimsy, a backsplash with some bling, or a bathroom shower wall that takes you outdoors, all can have a place in your design plan.

The words that come to mind when we think of tile design for this year and beyond include serenity, pattern, nature, textures, color, and glamour.
- Choose a different finish on the tile to impact the result of the design. Glossy or matte finishes create visual cues, as well as changing the design aesthetic.
- Let your personality shine by transforming the way a room looks and feels with tile. Using different lay-outs, textures, and color, all help make the space unique.
- Contrast the grout color for even more flair or keep it neutral so that it doesn’t stand out—options abound.
- Keep it simple for the look you want or go bold and unexpected for more flair.
- Use tile in a room to revamp a space, create drama, or just elevate the look.
- As more of us are working from home, why not add tile to a feature wall in the office or just in a space behind or in front of your workstation? Think how that will change the boring background of your Zoom calls!
Where to buy your ceramic or porcelain tile in Columbus Ohio?

With over 27 years of remodeling in Columbus, Ohio our Team has developed relationships with the finest suppliers in our area. Our experienced Design Team knows where to find perfect tile for every project. Although we have displays and samples in our design studio from all of the following they do have their own showrooms.

Hamilton Parker

Our favorite go-to tile studio! When we visit their showroom with our clients, it’s just like going into a candy store. There are so many options to fit every style and taste. They are a distributor of many different tile brands from across the US and around the world. We appreciate the wisdom, guidance, time, and care their dedicated tile consultants give to us and our clients. Randi Garris, HP Merchandising Manager, says sanctuary spaces are a top décor trend, “People want a relaxing, Zen-like vibe. Your home doesn’t just need to look good—it should feel good to be in, too.” We agree!

Emser Tile

Emser is the largest privately-held designer and marketer of tile and stone in the US. They import and distribute tiles from all over the world. Their local showroom has a dynamic selection of fashion-forward products and is open to the public.

MSI

The MSI goal is to contribute to a world where anyone can afford to create a beautiful space to live, work, and play. Like HP MSI has so much more to offer than tile. Whether you are designing a new home or updating an existing space homeowners can explore and select from a vast range of stunning surface solutions. Their website has some great design tools to aid in making selections. Good news their new showroom is opening in summer of 2022 on the east side of Columbus!

Daltile

Daltile is the country’s leading manufacturer and distributor of tile. Their claim is they’re the best-selling tile brand in America. Their local sales center and showroom only sells to trade professionals however consumers are allowed to browse all of their tile and stone products.

Bathroom Remodel in Worthington, OH

A referral from George’s cousin yields great results for a new client’s bathroom remodel. An older home in Worthington, OH with a bathroom that had some minor renovations done to it previously just wasn’t the right style for Amy and Doug. They decided it was time for a renovation of their guest bathroom. Little did they know, but a friend of theirs had a cousin with a remodeling company and made a recommendation to them. That company was The Cleary Company. The rest, they say, is history! Their bathroom didn’t involve changing plumbing, removing walls, or drastically changing the footprint, but they talked with our Team about their remodeling needs.

Client Profile: Q & A – Amy & Doug

Why did you select Cleary for your bathroom remodel?

We have a friend who used to flip houses and had previously done some work for us. We asked him whom he would suggest, and he recommended his cousin George Cleary. We reached out and were impressed with the remove and replace bathroom division. This is a guest bathroom so didn’t need to knock down walls or change the existing footprint, just demo old and replace with new everything.

What did you like best about the process?

Going into it, we knew this was a small project and we had talked to a few other companies before asking our friend for a recommendation. We got the impression from these other companies that we were just a small project and not really worth their time. We understood that, as we didn’t really expect any special treatment, but we wanted someone to care about our project.

We loved the Team as soon as we met. We knew from the first meeting that our small project was a fit. They would help us create our vision and make it what we wanted. They knew our guest bathroom was important to us. We wanted value-added and to come in with our ideas, but we also wanted to hear, “Ok, but have you thought about this?” That is exactly what Coury gave us, his knowledge of materials and design. The process was so easy!

What was your favorite part of working with The Cleary Company?

We appreciate working with them. The bathroom remodeling Team provided us with continuity, accountability, and trust. We connected with them and felt comfortable having them in our house. As the project progressed, we found out one of the guys working on the bathroom went to high school with my son—a fun surprise! Another wonderful aspect about working with them was that with the supply chain issues if something arrived damaged, wasn’t available, or would not arrive in time, Coury was able to pivot and get us other materials that worked as well, if not better, making sure we didn’t lose any time.

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

We wanted it to be more modern and updated, with simple clean lines. We love how it turned out. Coury took our ideas and really made them shine. The glass pivot shower door is one of our favorite parts. It opens up a small space. We couldn’t be happier.

Custom furniture style vanity with lighting underneath.

Tub / Shower combo with porcelain panels, recessed shelf, and ceramic tile accent wall.

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

Talk to The Cleary Company. They make you feel like you are going to get exactly what you want and it isn’t going to be difficult. When you talk to them, you’ll know they understand your vision and what you need. They are the guys you want on your job because they make it a smooth process.

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

Better than expected! We’re not saying we didn’t have good expectations, because we did, but this project exceeded our expectations.

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

Absolutely. They just make you feel like your project is the most important thing to them. They do splendid work and when they are at your house, your project is their priority.

Modern Primary Bathroom Remodel

An older home with a dated bathroom layout and tired fixtures combined with a very tall husband led Jenn to research a remodel. This young couple reached out to our Team for help remodeling their main bathroom. On their list of priorities for the main bath was raising the ceiling, create better flow, add function with more storage, and modernize fixtures and finishes.

This huge transformation will allow them to function better in their home. Thanks for putting your trust in us!

Client Profile: Q & A with Jenn & Jeff

Why did you select The Cleary Company Remodel-Design-Build for your bathroom remodel?

We reached out to five different companies to get ideas and understand the landscape of bathroom remodeling. We are first-time homeowners and really don’t know much about remodeling. Coury Sicker, a Project Developer/Designer with the bathroom remodeling Team at The Cleary Company, got back to us quickly. He sounded so welcoming and flexible with design arrangements, planning, and the budget. We went right away and met with them at their bathroom design studio. Everything worked out from that first meeting. A mixture of the speed of their response to our inquiry, the flexibility, and the welcoming demeanor sold us on choosing them for our remodel.

What did you like best about the bathroom remodeling process?

The best thing was being able to go to the bathroom design studio to see what we could choose from. We aren’t people that can walk into a huge showroom and start picking items from so many options. It was nice to see just a few really great examples and build off of that to create what we wanted.

We liked having a dedicated project manager on site. Dan Irwin, our project manager, was frequently onsite checking on the progress and answering our questions. He is an amazing communicator and gave us a great feeling of confidence with the process.

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

It was the people themselves. There are many companies that do different levels of design and build-out work. We liked the culture of the bathroom remodeling Team at The Cleary Company. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. We even met Russell, their office dog! It was a welcoming process, not a daunting one. They really made the whole process fun for us.

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

My husband is 6’4 and hit his head in our old bathroom. He had to bend over just to take a shower. We were looking for a miracle–to raise the ceiling in not only the shower but also raise the ceiling in the whole bathroom. They were able to do that as well as work with an odd angled nook in the bathroom, creating cabinetry for it. We wanted nice cabinetry and they built us custom cabinetry. Additionally, we added a Broan-NuTone fan with an LED white light and antibacterial violet light to help prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi growth.

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

Have an idea and the look and finish of what you want in mind. But don’t feel married to it–be open to new ideas. Having an open mind makes their bathroom remodeling Team the perfect match. They helped our vision become reality.

Describe your remodeling experience in just a few words?

Custom, Fun & Exciting, Excellent Quality of work

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

Absolutely! We have already recommended them. We never had to worry about anything. We have told everyone how great they are, how easy they are to work with, and what amazing, quality work they do!

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.
