Since 1987, Doug Klepper has consistently produced one-of-a-kind home estates for like-minded customers with exquisite taste. Their ability to turn your vision into reality through grace and elegance is what has made Klepper Construction such an influential name in the industry. Teamwork Doug’s philosophy is for architect and builder to work so closely with the client during the design/build process that there is a seamless transition from design concept to completed home. Creativity Klepper Construction has been recognized throughout the country for their outstanding & innovative custom building and has been featured in many national publications including Women’s Day, Colonial Homes, & Women’s Day Kitchen & Bath. Attention To Detail There are many factors that distinguish a high quality custom builder. Most noticeable is their attention to details and the method in which a builder is able to carry out the architect’s plan. At Klepper Construction we take great pride in the quality of our work as it is expressed in both interior and exterior details. Granted, much of this detail is directly attributable to the work of skillful craftsmen from a variety of trades; however, the ultimate responsibility for the selection of these craftsmen and establishing the standards of quality lies with the builder and the builder’s oversight. We hope you will agree that the attention to detail in our work represents a significant commitment to the highest standard of quality. Integrity Doug Klepper’s foresight as a builder and his integrity as a businessman, has been the foundation of over 25 years of successful and long lasting customer relationships. He works for you, the customer. Not only is he the owner of Klepper Construction, Inc., he is also your project manager, site manager, and even a hands-on builder. Doug’s not the “suit and tie” type, you can contact him at any time and see him any time of day… as long as you don’t mind him showing up in a T-shirt and jeans. ### Services Provided - New Home Construction - Custom Homes - Home Remodeling - Home Additions ### Areas Served - Manlius ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Klepper Construction Inc | | Address | Manlius, New York 13104, United States | | Phone | (315) 447-5898 | | Website | http://www.klepperconstruction.com/ | | Followers on Houzz | 55 | **Social profiles:** - Blog — https://vimeo.com/286388757 ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Klepper Construction Inc](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/klepper-construction-inc-pfvwus-pf~722049850) - **Website:** http://www.klepperconstruction.com/ - **Phone:** (315) 447-5898 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 4 awards (2018–2022), for Service. **Affiliations** - [National Association of Home Builders](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/national-association-of-home-builders-pfvwus-pf~562065019) - [Home Builders & Remodelers of Central New York](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/home-builders-and-remodelers-of-central-new-york-pfvwus-pf~974010638) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 24 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Mary Anklin, Jan. 2021** > Klepper Construction was a pleasure to work with from planning to demo to completion of our kitchen and family room renovation. > His contractors were extremely hardworking, talented and kind. We actually missed them when their work was completed! > Communication and transparency was constant, making us feel involved and informed every step of the way. > Doug Klepper’s experience made the process seamless, and his high quality expertise and vision created an outcome better than we could have ever imagined. We wish we could give him 10 stars! **★★★★★ — Ali and Betsy Al-Mudamgha, Nov. 2020** > Doug Klepper is a true custom home builder. He is one of the most honest people we have ever met. His craftsmanship is second to none. There are no hidden costs. We would speak to him and his subcontractors every day. We would go to our home every day to see the progress. There were no "change charges" for anything we wanted to add or delete. His pricing and billing is 100% transparent. He quoted us a price for the foundation and the windows, when the cost came in lower, we got the savings. He passed his contractor price to us to use for fixtures, tiles etc. so there was no up charging. Our house was completed in 2006. It looks today like it did 14 years ago. There isn't a crack in a wall, a squeak in the floor, a gap in any corners..absolutely perfect, like the day we moved in. To this day if we call Doug with any questions about any issue, his response is always the same, "I'll be over to look at it", 14 years later!!! He is our Builder for life and we would never think of using anyone but Doug Klepper. He has the reputation of being the Premier Builder in CNY and there is no denying it. Building our home with Doug Klepper was one of the easiest and smoothest things we have ever gone through with in our lives. A true Professional and Craftsman. **★★★★★ — Rich Konys, Oct. 2020** > We had Klepper Construction complete a major home renovation in 2007. The project included the construction of a new garage, converting the original garage into a beautiful, functional family room, and a complete gut/renovation of our kitchen, mud room, and laundry room. > > I must say that we could not have been happier with Doug and his team. They are true professionals that work efficiently to get the job done on time and on budget. But more importantly, they are true artists and so easy to work with. Having built two homes in the area, I can tell you that the quality of Klepper Construction's work is unmatched and timeless. It's incredible to think that our project was completed almost 15 years ago, and it looks like it was done yesterday. > > When you complete a project with Doug Klepper, you develop a friend for life. He becomes a trusted member of your family which is unheard of in today's world, and we can't recommend him high enough. **★★★★★ — gilbertb65, July 2020** > Doug Klepper delivers product quality that is unrivaled. His continued engagement and oversight in the homes he builds is second to none. Doug is trustworthy and honest, he takes the time to understand and listen to exactly what the customer wants. -He stands by his work period. This man answered my phone call on Christmas Eve 3 years after he built our beautiful home! In Doug’s own words “you only get one reputation”. > The team of professionals he oversees are true craftsmen in every sense. > If you want honesty, transparency and above all a top quality professional job he will deliver. **★★★★★ — Ross Stefano, April 2020** > We recently chose Doug Klepper and Klepper Construction to build our dream retirement home on Jamesville Reservoir. The house was designed by Rod Vander Water in an Arts & Crafts rustic lake house style for our beautiful lakefront setting. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the finished product and in our dealings with Doug. He is known for his very high quality work and craftsmanship, and that is reflected in our house. The inside trim work is a like having work of art in every room. Doug has a great design eye and came up with several excellent finishing suggestions. Doug is intelligent, experienced, responsive, and has a great personality. He’s a pleasure to work with. He also attracts and retains outstanding workers and subcontractors. I’ve been hiring contractors for over 40 years for properties that I own and I’ve never seen such high quality workers as Doug has on his team. Without exception, his workers are all professional, polite and know their craft well. We would highly recommend Doug and Klepper Construction to build your full custom dream home. **★★★★★ — Jim Angeli, Dec. 2019** > Working in a home building related company (Roma Tile & Marble), I have had the pleasure working with Doug for over 19 years and have found him to be nothing less than professional thru every aspect of every job. > He and his team of professionals have always gotten projects done with little to no issues and on time. > Rest assured - He'll deliver as promised! **★★★★★ — michael and daisy bongiovanni, Dec. 2019** > We have just finished the process of having our house built by Doug Klepper. The entire building experience was smooth with few surprises. Doug builds in the better details that most plans do not show. > > He often will make suggestions, or make improvements to the plans….making an area in the house work better, look better, and become more useable. He also has the ability to foresee possible problems which allowed us to make adjustments to the plans resulting in a better built home. He will often use stronger/ larger building components in the foundation /framing work, that far exceed the minimum building code requirements and typical plan details, such as poured concrete walls in lieu of masonry block.. or I joist floor framing in lieu of normal 2x dimensional lumber… or attic and girt trusses in lieu of basic trusses. With his suggestions on attic/girt trusses, we were able to have bedrooms and a bonus room where regular trusses would have precluded these features. > > While doing all this, he is always interested in what you, the owners, are thinking and will offer suggestions, if possible, on how to accomplish what you envision. > > The quality of the work that he and his subcontractors perform is outstanding, with a real emphasis on details. They excel in trim work on windows, doors, moldings and built in cabinetry…the workmanship is outstanding! You seldom see that attention to detail in houses anymore. > > For many years we have been impressed by the quality of houses that Doug built. It took about 25 years for us to decide to build a house from the ground up, and we could not be happier to have had Doug build for us. An honest, friendly, first class guy who wants you to love your home. And….he has a really sweet dog! **★★★★★ — kpm4j, Aug. 2018** > Doug Klepper built our house fifteen years ago. The quality was exceptional. We recently completed a basement renovation. Once again the quality was exceptional. Both endeavors created different challenges, which were always resolved by Doug promptly, efficiently and without difficulty. Doug always offers his expert advise but listens to what his clients want without argument. **★★★★★ — Casey and Peggy Ryan, Aug. 2018** > It has been our great pleasure to have Doug Klepper, owner of Klepper Construction, build our custom home! We couldn’t be more pleased with how everything came together so perfectly! > > Klepper Construction is thoroughly attentive to every detail and the communication during the entire process has been truly outstanding. In addition to being an extremely honest builder, Doug was a terrific resource and extremely knowledgeable and competent. We couldn’t imagine working with any other builder… we would highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — rjashenburg, Sept. 2017** > Just completed a major renovation/addition with Klepper Construction in 2017 and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. This is our third project with Doug in 21 years and we keep coming back for more! The workmanship and attention to detail is exceptional from framer to finish carpenter and includes plumbers, electricians, and painters. Doug is extremely easy to work with, listens to your suggestions and concerns and is, above all, entirely trustworthy. He has your best interests at heart and will build you the highest quality project at a fair price. Looking forward to our next project with Klepper Construction! **★★★★★ — atallahn, Dec. 2016** > Very easy to work with. Straigjt forward and honest estimates. Great workmanship and compkete cleanup everyday after work ia done. **★★★★★ — HU-880217, Sept. 2016** > We had an OUTSTANDING house building experience with Doug Klepper.

A: Unfortunatley, that home was built 14 years ago. I would really have to do somee digging through old invoices to get you an answer. Sorry. **Q: Lighting** *(in Photo Questions)* How did you backlight the walls? A: We used LED strip lights on four sides of each opening. **Q: Lakenhouse** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you have the master bath layout ? If so could I get a copy ? A: Hello Rosanna, I built this house 6 years ago. I will have to do some digging. I’m also headed on vacation tomorrow, so it will probably be 10-14 days before I can look at this. . Thank you for your interest. Doug Klepper **Q: What is the name of the stone on the oval island?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Unfortunately, all of that material was selected by a decorator out of New York City. The material actually came from a vendor on Long Island. I will contact my homeowner, and see if she recalls the name of that material. The material is translucent which allows light to come through. We installed LED lighting under the whole slab. . Sorry I can't be of more help at this point but I will do some research . I'm a Syracuse based builder and the home was built in the Syracuse area. **Q: Light fixtures are gorgeous** *(in Photo Questions)* Would you share the lighting resource? Thanks A: Unfortunately, all light fixtures were supplied by an interior decorator out of NYC. I have no invoices or documentation on any of the light fixtures on the prolect. **Q: I love the freestanding bathtub. Can you tell me the manufacturer?** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the freestanding bathtub. Can you tell me the manufacturer? A: Very sorry for the slow response. The tub is a Bain Ultra Cella 7240. Project is 6 years old, not sure if the exact tub is available. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-09.*
