    A native of Columbus, OH, George Cleary has been in the remodeling business for over 35 years. He founded The Cleary Company in 1994 with $10,000, a computer, a truck, some tools and a few of his buddies. He attributes his success to his honesty, integrity and his ability to build such a wonderful team. George is happy to be part of enhancing properties in the neighborhoods where he lives and works.

    “The thing I love most is being part of the emotion of a remodeling project. Translating a customer’s vision into a design and then building their dream is the best part of what we do. This coupled with working with great friends makes what I do so rewarding”.

    George is active with the local chapter of National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), and nationally with Remodeler’s Advantage (RA). The company has always maintained an A+ excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).  By volunteering his time and enthusiasm to various community, church and school activities George feeds his passion of connecting with people and having fun.

    A 1984 graduate of Bishop Watterson High School, he’s also the proud father of 3 BWHS graduates, who all went on to earn their college degrees at the University of Dayton. George has been happily married to his bride, Cathy (Brownlee), for over 30 years. His hobbies are camping, fishing, enjoying live music and spending time with his large Irish Catholic family and many friends. He enjoys having his best pal Russell, his 13yr old Golden Retriever, in the office each day.

    Hired in 2014 to manage our Production department, Aaron’s eye for detail, commitment to excellence and client satisfaction, are why he was promoted to his current position as General Manager in 2017. Since the addition of 2 new divisions – bath2BATH in 2018 and Home Services in 2020 – Aaron’s role has evolved into Chief Operating Officer. He’s George’s right hand man and together they’ve orchestrated a plan for continued manageable growth for the company. He began his career working as an interior woodworker, mostly in high-end custom homes. He has over 26 years experience in carpentry, residential construction and remodeling.

    Aaron pushes our Team towards exceeding our client’s expectations on every project. He’s an active member of NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) and serves on committees for both the local chapter and national delegate. He’s passionate about recruiting new talent to the trades and has put that into action by serving on local and national committees charged with increasing recruitment into vocational trade programs. In 2015, Aaron earned his Certified Remodeler (CR) accreditation. He encourages everyone he comes into contact with to continue learning and growing within their industries. In March 2020, Aaron began writing articles for NARI on education and business practices that will be published quarterly in Qualified Remodeling Magazine. Read his first one here.

    Aaron, his wife and their 2 beautiful daughters live in Dublin. When not working, he stays busy throwing the tennis ball for their Labradoodle, Sasha. She has an insatiable desire to play fetch! Aaron also enjoys biking and, of course, doing remodeling projects around his house.
