First Floor Remodel in Upper Arlington, OH

Having lived in their two-story home in Upper Arlington, OH for about 6 years, Linda and Joe knew they wanted to remodel and expand their kitchen’s footprint and create a new mudroom from the garage entry. They also wondered how the entire first floor of their home could better function to fit their needs.

Our Remodel-Design-Build Team gave them a new floor plan that addresses their busy family’s lifestyle by removing a wall, adding a large pantry, reconfiguring the layouts of the laundry and powder rooms, and adding a new mudroom.

What do Linda and Joe think of their home now and their experience working with The Cleary Company? Read on to find out!

Q & A with Linda & Joe

What was the goal for your remodel?

We wanted to create a more functional floor plan for our family with young children, including a mudroom area to collect their things, as well as we wanted to open up the kitchen to allow for gatherings, making it a fun, beautiful place where we actually want to cook and spend time together!

Kitchen & Dining spaces before remodel

What is your favorite aspect of your remodeled space?

It is hard to name just one! Our top 3 are the mudroom, the bar area of the kitchen, and all the lighting! When we previously entered our house through the garage, it basically went right into the kitchen, so the kitchen became a catch-all for coats, shoes, bookbags, etc. Now we have a very functional mudroom/laundry space that we enter into, and can keep everyone’s things organized.

We have gotten tons of compliments on the bar area of the kitchen, which includes a second island and a seating bench by the window. It is a great space for gathering and adds a little something extra to a traditional kitchen!

Our old kitchen was so dark with very minimal lighting. We love all the new lighting features, including under cabinet lights, recessed LEDs, and pendent fixtures!

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

Have an idea of what you want, but let the designer step in and offer suggestions and improvements to your initial plan. It’s also important to be prepared to be flexible if some things need to change along the way.

The Cleary Company Remodel Difference

Why did you choose The Cleary Company to complete your remodeling project?

They listened to what we wanted to suit our family’s needs. They were also quick to get back to us when we reached out to them and always followed up!

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

Once the project was underway they provided a clear estimated timeline and then remained available for any and all questions along the way. If something didn’t seem quite right they were always responsive and helpful.

Who from our Team stood out and how did they exceed your expectations?

We worked with a number of great people. Laura, our designer that stepped in midway thru our project, really helped us bring the final details together. The carpenters that did a lot of work on the house, especially Justin, Ed, and Dave, were very friendly and made sure we were happy with all the small details of the project.

Just for Fun!

In one word, why did you choose to do business with The Cleary Company?

Expertise.

Would you recommend The Cleary Company?

Definitely. While it wasn’t cheap, the confidence in knowing that things were being done correctly and the open lines of communication were worth it. The end result is truly spectacular!

Basement Bourbon Bar | Dublin OH

Project Spotlight: The basement in Susan & Geoff’s home is regularly used for entertaining and watching tv but there was one area that was definitely underutilized. After discussing many ideas and options, they decided they needed a proper bar to store and display Geoff’s growing bourbon collection. Then they contacted the designer who worked with them on previous home remodeling projects. Jen Sommers, a NARI Certified Remodeler, is now a Project Developer for The Cleary Company Remodel-Design-Build in Columbus, Ohio.

BEFORE Bar area remodel

The Plan?

Add storage, function, design and seating to the existing nook. The demo was minimal but included removing a pony wall, ledge and carpet. A 15″ deep semi-custom cabinet made with maple wood, with a dark stain and a hoop door style was designed and built to fit within the existing walls and maximize usable storage space.

Working with the existing design style of the basement, complimentary fixtures and finishes were chosen and installed. The Cambria quartz countertop combines hues of blue and gray but also features a hint of shimmer. Floating shelves offer more storage but also allow for display of Geoff’s growing collection of bourbon. The brick veneer backsplash is a great rustic accent to compliment the shiny bottles.

Pro Tips for Fixing Minor Drywall Issues
Accidents happen. Whether it was a water leak, an errant toy that left a dent or a small hole, a gymnastic routine with a foot through the wall, or just everyday wear and tear. Often it’s the walls in your home that take the abuse resulting in drywall issues needing to be fixed.

While our Remodel-Design-Build Team at The Cleary Company encourages you to hire professionals to fix the larger, more involved damage (unless you are an experienced DiY homeowner), it makes sense for you to repair smaller issues yourself.

But how does one go about repairing drywall issues?

Tools & Materials

Drywall patch kits are sold in most home improvement stores, like Home Depot, and contain most of what you need for small repairs. Or create your own with the following items.
- Joint compound, drywall mud, or spackle – Look for quick-drying options.
- 3 to 4-inch putty knife.
- Mesh if the hole is larger than a ½ inch.
- A boxcutter is a good item to use to keep the area neat and free from frayed edges of drywall. A clean cut leaves fewer bumps.
- A dust mask is a good idea to wear when sanding the drywall compound.
3 Types of Small Drywall Repairs & How to Do Them

Dents & Dings
- Scrape any loose debris from the area.
- Spread a thin layer of fast-drying spackle over the area, creating a level layer with the drywall.
- Let it dry then sand and apply touch-up paint.
Popped Nail Heads
- Add a drywall screw above and below the popped nail head and secure the screw to the drywall. This will keep the existing nail head from popping out again.
- Sink the screws far enough below the drywall surface to allow spackle to be applied.
- Drive in the popped nail with a hammer.
- Cover the nail and screws with a thin coat of spackle, allow to dry, sand, and apply touch-up paint.
Holes
- Buy a patch kit and put the self-adhesive mesh patch over the hole.
- Cover the patch with spackling (joint) compound in a thin crisscross pattern, and thin the edges so it blends with the wall and doesn’t create a rough demarcation line.
- Let dry and reapply if more is needed.
- Sand smooth and paint. Depending on the size of the hole, you might have to repaint the whole wall.
- A bigger hole requires a few more steps beyond these and since there is more involved, we encourage you to use a repair person or watch some YouTube videos to learn the steps. You’ll need more tools for this as well!

2023 Home Design Trends
It’s a new year, so that means our Design Team at The Cleary Company Remodel-Design-Build in Columbus Ohio is looking at what’s trending in home design. While we love the classics, some trends are worth looking at and incorporating into projects for our clients, especially kitchen and baths. After all, some trends are here to stay!

The NKBA recently released its 2023 Design Trends Report where they surveyed almost 600 industry members. We’ve combed through the information and summarized it below. So, grab a cup of coffee or tea, settle in and spend a few minutes reading.

Storage & Functionality are a Must
- Kitchens and bathrooms are top spaces that need more storage and better function.
- Remove or open up walls to add more storage and define spaces.
- Increase the footprint of a kitchen to add space for a larger pantry, beverage bar, second dishwasher or other additional appliances.
- Larger islands and in some cases two islands, provide better functionality for dining, food prep and homework or work-from-home needs.
- Increase or rearrange the footprint of a bathroom for a larger shower, more closet space, or even a sitting area.
- Incorporate Universal Design principles into your new bathroom. Features such as low or zero-threshold showers, benches, grab bars, and wider doorways are a key part of functionality.
- Keep countertops clear of small appliances. A well-designed pantry can be more than just a place for spices and staples.
- Select fixtures and finishes that are easy to clean for your updated kitchen and bathrooms. Materials like quartz countertops and panels plus large format tiles limit or eliminate grout and are easy to clean.
Oh, We Love Some Color
- Shades of white still dominate, as well as the use of wood tones but color is making it’s way back into kitchens and baths.
- Greens and blues are perennial top choices for kitchens, but don’t be afraid to dip into other colors on the spectrum.
- Incorporate bold accent colors like a non-shiny metallic, matte black or brushed gold.
Be Environmentally Friendly & Connect with Nature
- Choose products made with sustainable materials and by companies whose practices are gentle or help the Earth.
- Fixtures and finishes like LED lighting, VOC-free paints and energy-efficient appliances, head the list.
- Choose more oversized windows and add glass doors to bring views of the outdoors inside.
- Outdoor living spaces create a connection with your indoor spaces and increase the livable space in your home.
Let’s Not Forget About Technology
- Choose technology for your home that increases its function and efficiency.
- Install motion-controlled lighting and touchless faucets.
- Choose appliances that are multifunctional and can do “everything,” making life easier.
- Use mobile devices or voice controls to control appliances, lighting, music and tv’s.
- Smart or programable controls in bathrooms help with shower and faucet temperatures, heated floors, bidet toilets, mirrors, and lighting.
As our Design Team works with clients, we see that kitchens and bathrooms continue to evolve into larger, multifunctional spaces. Many people are still working and entertaining at home, and that doesn’t seem to be going away. Make 2023 the year to remodel your home with our Design-Build Team at The Cleary Company!

Remodeling Your Laundry Room
Where do you do your laundry? Many older homes in the Columbus, Ohio area have the washer and dryer tucked away in the basement, which isn’t very functional for today’s busy families! The Remodel-Design-Build Team at The Cleary Company collaborates with our clients, to develop a floorplan and create a home that compliments their lifestyles.

Moving the laundry from the basement to the first or, better yet, the second floor makes it easier for you to complete laundry tasks!

We’re diving into the information from the 2022 Remodeling Impact Report from The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) Research Group and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). According to this study, Americans spent $420 billion in 2020 remodeling their homes. Remodeling a laundry room is a game changer for improving livability and functionality in the home!

What the Report tells us about Laundry Room Remodels

NAR utilizes a Joy score for each project based on happiness. The Joy score for a laundry room remodel is a 9.5/10! We know that our clients are certainly filled with joy after seeing this project completed! 68% of consumers would have undertaken this project, regardless of the pandemic.

The most important results?
- 60% of those polled report better functionality and livability now that they have created or upgraded their laundry room.
- 79% of people feel a major sense of accomplishment when they think of the project.
- And us, we feel 100% accomplished when we complete a project!
NAR / NARI 2022 Remodeling Impact Report

To learn more, read the full report here.

Functional, Beautiful, & Livable #ImprovingYourHomeLife

We love designing and creating laundry rooms for our clients. The possibilities for a laundry room are endless. The time saved not lugging laundry up and down two flights of stairs creates efficiency, and better organization of laundry as it’s a dedicated functioning room, not an afterthought location in the basement.

Take a look at some of the projects we’ve completed.

Are you ready to upgrade the laundry room you currently have or relocate your laundry out of the basement? Contact us to get started! Call 614-459-4000 or visit our website to schedule a phone call with our Client Relations Coordinator.

Remodel Right – Your Home Deserves It!
The Cleary Company Remodel Design Build Columbus OH knows that beginning a home remodeling project might feel overwhelming, but when you work with the right company it should be a TEAM effort! We aim to take the uncertainty out of your home renovation. With our experience and expertise, we can help make any project seem less daunting. Our Design-Build Team shares some home remodeling tips to help guide and prepare you through your next remodel.

Planning a Design-Build Remodel? So where do you start?

Do your research

Drive around your neighborhood and see who’s working in the area. Ask neighbors, family and friends for referrals. Once you have a list of several companies visit their websites, and narrow your list to those you want to contact.

Hire a professional

Certifications and memberships in local & national trade organizations show that a remodeler invests in continuing education and earns positive customer references. When hiring a professional, it is most important to find a remodeler you can trust and are comfortable communicating with.

Visit a job site

Ask for references and contact them. See what a project in construction looks like. The best remodelers maintain clean & organized work sites and welcome your visit.

Remember the big picture

Be honest and upfront with your desires and expectations. A good design-build home remodeling company’s goal is to produce a product that goes beyond the client’s expectations. They can only accomplish this with your input.

Lifecycle of a Design-Build Home Remodel

Development & Design

Proper planning can help keep your home remodel project on schedule and on budget. The Cleary Company has a thorough Team approach that guides you through each step and decision. It’s a fun, collaborative process!

First, we identify what it is you want to accomplish.
- Do you want or need to add more space?
- Or do you simply want a new floorplan within the existing footprint?
We will help you decide whether it makes more sense to reuse existing space or build an addition to meet your needs. Let’s explore all your options!

Second, we can help you establish a realistic remodeling budget by discussing the investment range you’re comfortable committing to. Through our Design Agreement phase, we’ll collaborate with you on the development and design.

Your Project Developer and Design Consultant can help determine if what you want is in line with the amount of money you want to invest. The goal is to create a functional design that meets your needs and that enhances the look and style of your home.

Pre-Construction Planning

After you sign a construction contract with The Cleary Company you’ll need to allow time for your project’s construction documents to be prepared. Our Team will convert the preliminary designs into detailed drawings specific to your local building and zoning code requirements. They will include calculations and specific details necessary to acquire building permits.

Permit plans typically consist of a site plan, floor plan, foundation plan, elevations, sections, product and material selections, and detailed notes to provide clear communication for a successful project.

Phases of Construction

Building your project is typically the longest part and toughest part of your remodel. The visual below is a simplified version of what happens in your home. For a more detailed description of these phases read our Renovation Lifecycle – Construction blog post.

A fun visual we post on our jobsites!

Home Stretch

Although the details of your remodeling project will be unique to you and your home, there will be several phases from demo to completion you can expect; demolition, mechanicals, and inspections followed by a time when the basics, from walls to wiring, are rebuilt or upgraded as needed and then more inspections. The home stretch begins with the installations of cabinets, appliances, etc. and finally paint, hardware, and other finishing touches will be put in place.

We hope you choose to experience your next remodeling project the way it should be done RIGHT. Contact our Remodel-Design-Build Team today to get started!

What to Expect With a Home Remodel?
Short answer – Expect the unexpected!

Did you put off remodeling during the height of the pandemic? Did you recently buy a home that requires some time and attention to make it your own? Were you going to move, but just can’t find a new place to call home?

Your home has become more than a place to come to after work over the past few years. It’s transformed into the center of most aspects of your life! Serving multiple purposes, such as an office, a school, a safe place to entertain, a gym, and your retreat for self-care. You’ve realized that the community where you live and the home you love is where you want to stay. But it needs to be more than what it is now, for it to function for your family.

We get it—a remodel of your kitchen, first floor, bathroom, or the whole house, needs to happen sooner rather than later—you want to do it now. At The Cleary Company, Remodel-Design-Build in Columbus, OH, we want nothing more than to start your project as soon as we meet with you. But there is a process and the challenges of our industry right now are creating delays in everyone’s timelines.

What do you need to know before you call a remodeler?

The pandemic brought forth many unforeseen issues, many of which, have challenged the construction industry. While we aren’t lacking for clients or new projects, (in fact, we’re busier than ever!) there are many factors right now affecting our schedules. If you have completed a project in the past five to ten years, expect it could now take double the time to complete.
- Supply chain issues continue to cause delays. Appliances, windows, doors, and other vital construction items are taking longer than normal to ship and arrive. The good news is if you’re willing to select an in-stock item vs a custom item lead times can be significantly shorter.
- Manufacturing of materials, as well as the distribution of them is taking longer. The semiconductor chip issue does affect some appliances, but beyond that most manufacturing plants are not at worker capacity, and some raw materials still are still in short supply. All of this means products are not being made at the rate they were before coupled with the higher than expected demands. Luckily, we work with some amazing vendors, that are doing everything they can to get us materials.
- Costs have continued to increase. We have all heard what has happened to lumber prices over the last two years, but other items we need, have risen as well. This means the bottom line for your project has increased. Keep in mind it’s never going to be cheaper than right now. Although some costs may stabilize or even drop slightly, overall most prices will continue at their current rates or even rise further.
- Labor shortages for skilled trades were an issue before the pandemic and since then the problem has only gotten worse and has started to lengthen the time it takes to complete a project. While we feel blessed to have such an amazing Team and trade partners, we are still hiring, as are most remodeling companies. Check out our open positions here!
- Utility companies (water, electric, gas) are suffering from the same issues as stated above. This trickles down to us when we need to do work that involves them. This means we could be waiting on them to come out to the site to take care of what is needed for your project.
- Surging home prices and lack of available inventory has made the decision for many people to just stay in their homes and remodel them, rather than try to purchase a new home.
Our Team will help you through this process.

Remodeling your home is important and we understand! Our job isn’t only to complete your project, but for us all to be a part of the same Team. We take what we do seriously and pride ourselves on having a solid, well-respected reputation.

When you work with The Cleary Company, you can expect:
- Honesty
- Transparency—we will let you know what we are dealing with and how it could affect your project
- Realistic expectations
- A positive working relationship
- An open dialogue
- Timely updates during the construction phase of the project
- Proactive problem-solving to keep your project moving forward
- Innovative ideas
- Your vision comes to life
How can you create a positive remodel experience?
- Do your research – be prepared with a vision and a budget
- Remain flexible and understanding when a problem or issue is discovered
- Be honest and forthright with our Team
- Keep realistic expectations for the timeline
- Be patient
With all this, we encourage you to start a conversation with our Team now and not wait. The sooner we talk, the sooner you get into the queue and the sooner we can build your project. The entire remodeling industry is in high demand, and we want to get your project ready to go. The phrase — “Together, we can accomplish anything” is the standard we work to achieve.
