Cleary Const. Inc Custom Builders & Remodelers

Overall, we had an extremely positive experience with our major renovation of our home. We hired Rick Cleary to renovate several rooms including kitchen, bathroom, living and bedroom and to add a second floor dormer. It was nearly a complete interior replacement. We were referred to Rick by neighbors who had also had a positive experience. The entire process from planning to execution was flawless and completed ahead of schedule, quite remarkable considering the complexity of the project and the uncertainties in renovating an older home. Design: Rick has a remarkable talent for design incorporating all important details of construction, lighting, function and flow, and even where furniture might be placed in the renovated room. He presented a professionally drafted plan which we reviewed together and made minor modifications to meet our needs. Budget and Timelines: We started planning late Sept 18 and the actual reno started mid Oct 18 with a goal of finishing before the summer season. The project was completed ahead of schedule in March 19. This was not surprising as every time we visited to check on things, there were members from Rick's team working. Not a day occurred when we visited and nobody was there. The budget was layout out clearly and itemized to cover all aspects including allowances for areas where we could choose. Rick gave us tips on how to save without impacting overall quality. For example, we saved ~10K by buying our kitchen cabinets from IKEA (Rick's team did the installation). We decided to add a few items not in the original plan and the cost of additions was accurately quoted and included. The final cost was within a few percentage points of the original budget. Work quality and team: We are so pleased with the final result and overall work quality. It's like we have a new home. Every detail was included. Rick's subcontractors were all highly professional and made us feel welcome whenever we visited to check on progress. Most have worked for Rick for 20+ years and held Rick in high regards. Special kudos goes out to Lisa, Rick's office manager and "can do everything" person. Lisa came with us when choosing plumbing, lighting, tiles, etc. and made several trips to IKEA (over an hour drive) with us to make sure that process went smoothly. She lent her experience and interior design expertise to help us with the multitude of choices available. As well, she was highly responsive returning emails and texts most within hours and none longer than 24 hours. She was with us all the way through the project acting as our personal concierge. Rick was also available to meet with us when needed. We were never left in the lurch with issues/questions that arose.

Rick Cleary is a gentleman and world class builder. He is focused on saving you money in the reconstruction phase and ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the finished project. We completed a full house renovation/addition in 2006 and Rick remains dedicated to making sure he is there for any issue 13 years later. We agreed on the project with a handshake, you won't find many more who are as honest, straightforward and committed to delivering excellent results.

Cleary Construction is a top-rate builder. What I like best about working with Rick and his team is that you always gain access to the top people in the organization. They might not be the biggest, but my wife and I believe that they are the best on the Cape. Rick and his team were with us from design all the way through final certificate of occupancy. But it didn’t stop there – – if there were any issues or questions, Rick was on the spot to help us. For instance, we had trouble figuring out our new air conditioning system when we first moved in, and Rick dropped by within 15 minutes to give us a full tutorial. I consider Rick and his team to be not only great builders but also trusted partners in executing on our dream home. They completed a huge rebuild of our entire home on time and on budget. We recommend Cleary Construction highly!

Rick Cleary's friendly, hands on approach as a general contractor, combined with his knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail as a builder made for a truly amazing experience. His personal and professional skills are perfectly complimented by his longstanding relationships with local suppliers and especially in his crew of dedicated subcontractors and laborers. All having worked with Rick for years, and more than a few for decades, each one I had the chance talk with said Rick was the best in the business and a pleasure to work for. All that said, his work speaks for itself. Our Cape Cod home was built in the 1820's and has been in our family since the 1940's. After a careful demolition and preservation phase, a full renovation of the original structure and substantial addition were seamlessly incorporated into a "new" home that manages to feel both familiar, timeless and comfortable and yet elegantly functional in its eye towards modern living. Since completing the main house we also hired Rick to build a boathouse and now we are all set to have him start on a two car garage. All the while he has been there time and time again for any needs that have arisen between big projects. Oh, did I mention that Rick has a tree farm! The definition a full service operation, we also used Rick to do all our landscaping, including a major removal of invasive plants, the installation of dozens of native trees, hundreds of native plants and shrubs, and the preservation and relocation of five giant, 60 year old lilacs that were planted by my great grandparents! He even installed a state of the irrigation system and has kept our lawn looking beautiful throughout. What else can I say except Rick Cleary is the real deal! He has forever spoiled us when it come to our expectations of what it's like to hire a contractor. Five Stars+++++++
