Clemleddy Construction

"The Lakehouse We bought a 27-year-old cottage on a cliff that was built for someone else’s life. With the guidance and support from Clemleddy Construction, we totally reconfigured it into a contemporary home that is not only open and airy but also cozy and comfortable and as close to maintence-free as possible. With their help, we created both a serene retreat and an active home base for family and friends — a home built for our lives. The designers, mindful of the home’s location, added walls of windows and balconies inside and out to allow the light through the forest to sparkle like a French Impressionist painting as it enters the home. The two-story main living space uses an open staircase of oak railings and clear glass to add a variety of grand vistas from almost any line of sight. The kitchen, once a cramped space within which more than one person was a crowd, has become a gathering place for many around a long island with plenty of seating. Two sinks serve both the guests and the chefs as conversation and drinks flow in this culinary center. The crisp white cabinets are offset by the sparkling copper and siena facets of the countertops and are pleasing to all the senses. The addition of a glass-enclosed dining room with vaulted ceiling and high windows right off the kitchen expands the views and provides a dining experience “in the treetops”! The design staff extended our vision by adding a dramatic two-story stone fireplace to anchor the living room and enhance the expansive white walls with a column of soft earth tones. As the design work continued, the search for the perfect flooring took time and was resolved only when Alison found her solid Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring. The warm color from the polished cherry floors throughout highlights the architectural features and ties the clean, white, modern look together. Our experience with all the Clemleddy staff was overwhelmingly positive. It became clear to us as soon as we started working with Clemleddy that these were people we could trust and who had our best interests at heart. While the project became much greater in scope than we anticipated, Clemleddy’s eye for safety, craftsmanship and thoroughness assured us of our renewed home’s integrity. Many changes come with any large project, but we were always given choices as well as sound recommendations. We wish we had a fraction of Craig Smyth’s energy, sense of humor and expertise! Finally, a big shout-out to the many others we saw, and didn’t see, who worked tirelessly to make our vision a reality. This labor of love and Clemleddy skill took a 1900 square foot high-maintenance cabin in the woods and a two-bay detached box of a garage to a nearly maintenance-free classic 2600 square foot contemporary home with an oversized three-bay carriage house that would charm any New York designer. Clearly a home built for life... on the edge! Alison & Tom Samph"

"I contacted Clemleddy to do a total renovation of a lake house than we owned. We had used the house as a vacation home for about 15 years and now wanted to fix all the things we liked about the house while keeping the things we did like so we could retire there. Craig and his team did a fantastic job of doing just that. They also suggested a number of things that made the house even better. They did a wonderful job and many people comment on how great our house looks. Also even after a year or more, if we discovered something that was not quite right, Craig would send his team back to make it right, and no charge. Thanks Clemleddy we are still just loving our home!!"

"My wife and I have worked with Clemleddy on 5 different projects from small to huge over the years. Imagine working with a building company that shows up to your project on time every single day. Then imagine that the company does exactly what it says they are going to. Follow that up with transparency and true ease of communication. If you want your project to be managed and executed by professionals, stop looking. You've found them."

"Clemleddy Construction has completed 2 projects for us in the past few years. They handled opening our Living Room to the front entry, removing a leaky fireplace for replacement with a wood pellet stove and put in a lovely new staircase and banister. The whole flow of our home was improved. A second project entailed updates to our kitchen. With design help from Susie we chose new flooring, granite counter, sink, faucet, and cabinet pulls. Susie suggested an accent of molding on the top of the cabinets which made it all look new, updated, and cohesive. With each project the work team was friendly and professional and all our expectations were met and exceeded. Our small projects received their full attention and effort. We wholeheartedly recommend Clemleddy Construction for all your building and remodeling needs."

"Project Date April 2015: When people see my house for the first time they always ask who was the builder and would I use them again? The answer is Clemleddy Construction and an unequivocal yes. Like most people looking for a builder, I did my research on a number of firms in the local area. I looked at the builder’s reputation, depth of experience, previous projects and references and most importantly, company integrity. No matter how good my research and follow-up interviews are, there’s a chance the firm you select just might not meet all your expectations. In my case, Clemleddy exceeded my expectations and built a wonderful home. From the owner to the entire Clemleddy crew, I saw dedication to their respective crafts and a willingness to listen to my ideas, and when we ran into challenges, I listened to their guidance and I was never disappointed. Clemleddy Construction is an excellent firm and highly recommended."
