    Home Remodeling Clients for 25 Years | Columbus OH

    In the spring of 1994 George Cleary established The Cleary Company at the urging of his wife, Cathy. He began by promoting himself and his new business to not only his family and friends but to the families of his friends. It wasn’t long before he secured his first clients, Luke & Gail, the parents of a classmate from Bishop Watterson High School. The project? Build an addition on the back of their home in Upper Arlington! A 15′ x 19′ screened porch with 2 skylights and a ceiling fan. Plus a 28′ paver patio, a concrete pad, cedar steps and landscaping for their new hot tub. 

    An Interview with Luke & Gail – George’s First Clients

    Why did you first choose to hire George to build your remodel? And why did you continue to choose The Cleary Company for all your future renovations?

    George and Rob were classmates of our daughter and her husband so we knew them and liked them. We had a problem and they were able to solve it. After the project was completed we could not have been more pleased. Everything came out just the way we wanted and more importantly just as he said it would. Later when we purchased another home we had George and his crew back to remodel that home as well. When we eventually sold that home the new owners were so impressed with the craftsmanship they hired The Cleary Company for several remodel projects.

    Who is your favorite Team member and how did they exceed your expectations? 

    Rob has unique skills of craftsmanship. He fabricated a beautiful mantel for us and every time we had a fire in that fireplace we remarked at his artistry.

    What advice would you offer to someone who is looking to remodel their home?

    Hire George and his team. They can build dreams into reality!

    If you could use one word to describe why you choose to do business with The Cleary Company, what would that be?

    There isn’t one word! Dependable, caring, careful, creative, problem solvers. They are a great company to do business with.
