    Managing Your Design-Build Home Remodel

    Offsite, On Mind. Do you ever wonder how much work is done offsite during a home remodeling project? You may be curious what is going on behind the scenes. Or, you might wonder what your contractor is actually doing when not physically on the job site. At The Cleary Company, although our Team may not be working in your home on a particular day, your project is not off our minds! In fact, we are always working on managing your remodel project.

    Design-Build Behind the Scenes of Your Project

    Our Design-Build Team at The Cleary Company in Columbus OH has grown our business on trust, so it is important that we clearly communicate with our clients. How we are planning for their project and more importantly when and why we will not be at your home periodically during the construction phase. Many of the “tiny touches” we give your project are done off the job site. So, even when it doesn’t appear that we are working on your project, we really are managing your remodel!

    Remodeling Done Right Starts with a Plan

    You may have heard the saying “Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance”? We apply this concept to our remodeling projects, home additions and new home build projects everyday. Collaborating and doing the prep work and planning prior to getting to your home will make our team more efficient during the entire construction phase.

    Here are a few things that you may not see our Team doing as we are managing your remodel:

    • Pre-Construction meetings with trades and vendors to review plans
    • Project review meetings with Project Developer, Designer & Project Manager
    • Production Department Meetings with our entire field Team
    • Ordering building materials and products to build your project
    • Scheduling deliveries, inspections and trades
    • Reviewing and approving invoices
    • Budget & Schedule management

    We have industry professionals on our Team, from estimators and designers to project managers and skilled craftsman … oh yeah… Russell too, we cannot forget Russell! They are committed to create a design and scope of work to suite your family’s needs. We ensure the details are taken care of before and during construction of your home remodel. During the entire process, we are properly planning our performance, whether we are on your jobsite or not.

    Remodeling can sometimes be hard, messy and frustrating. However, when you choose to work with The Cleary Company you know exactly what you are getting- Communication, Expert Craftsmanship and Quality from a proud, prepared, and professional Team of experts!

  • Color & Design Trends with Ruthanne Hanlon

    Color & Design Trends with Ruthanne Hanlon

    Ruthanne Hanlon, PPG’s National Color + Design Manager, recently chatted with us about color design trends and what impact this may have on our homes for 2018. Color can create a new vision, a different feel to a room, or just a long-awaited change to the space. We were excited Ruthanne could join us at our February 20th Wine & Design Open House where she presented the 2018 Color forecast to 18 local Interior Designer members of ASID!  We love her insight and are excited to share her thoughts with you.

    What colors are trending for 2018?

    Based on industry shows and consumer requests we’re seeing shades of blue, soft off-whites and warmer neutrals trending in both residential and commercial spaces. Dark hues are in abundance as well, including black or shades of black. The fear of darker colors has decreased drastically and many are embracing the dramatic effects dark colors provide.

    What changes do you see color having in our homes this year?

    Grays have been trending for ten years now. With many people looking for something new and fresh, warmer versions have been on the rise. Dark colors have become widely accepted for walls, furnishings and more. Shifting from cool grays to warmer versions will impact the overall mood of a space, making them less somber and more comfortable and inviting. The introduction of dark colors provides stability and interest.

    What colors will remain popular?

    Warmer grays, mineral blues, soft off-whites and shades of black or near blacks.

     

    What impacts color trends each year?

    World events. Everything from the economy, major national disasters, demographics and the political climate impacts how we live our lives and the spaces we want to surround ourselves with.

    What do you think is important when choosing colors for a home?

    Color schemes should be based on personal preference and which feel best to us. Referencing trends helps edit our choices but it’s critical we make our final selections based on which we like most and compliments the other elements in our spaces; flooring, furniture, etc.

    What colors should we avoid in our homes and why?

    There’s no such thing as a bad color. If it compliments and coordinates with the other colors in the space and appeals to you, it’s the right color.
