We love these guys and are about to hire them again for a third project. They did a major addition to our home which we are thrilled with. Very professional, responsive and on top of every detail. We had neighbors stop by who were amazed at the quality of the work and the products used. They were also amazed at the work ethic: no early starts - just on time, worked a full day., never left a mess at the end of the day, and always willing to help you move something if necessary.
They do all the permits and even know the rules for our community - no rework. Design work is on target demonstrating that they really listen to you. Nice people, polite and respectful of your home. We felt like they were part of our family during the first project, were happy with our 2nd project and look forward to continuing to engage them on future efforts.

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.

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.

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!

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.

AWFUL! AWFUL! AWFUL! DISHONEST! We hired Craig Smyth "owner" of Clemleddy to provide us with plans to build a small 1000 -1200 sq foot house with handicapped features for my diabilities. The signing fee was $1,800.00. We were told that he would supply us with as many designs as we needed until "we were happy even if it took 100 drawings". We signed the contract and gave him the payment in late September 2016.
We received 3 drawings by October 25, 2016. One bigger than the next. Not one was under 1,400 sq.ft. We sent him an email with the changes, we wanted explaining that the designs were to big and to please make the necessary changes to the existing plans to make it the square footage we wanted. He email me "no problem". On December 2, 2016, We had to emailed Craig to find out what was going on.
We had no contact from him for 6 weeks. We received an email with an apology, and that we would receive a drawing by the end of the week. We received nothing. We got an email on December 10th saying he was really busy and we should meet after the holidays. We called the week of Jan 1st to find that he was on two week vacation but made an appointment for the Saturday after his return.
We had to cancel this appointment for personal reasons and rescheduled for Feb. 11, 2017. We arrived at his office to meet him and the draftsman, PJ. At this time, Craig did not even bother to show up until our meeting was over. In light of the designs, we received, we were not confident that PJ was given the correct criteria of what we wanted to build.
My husband made a rough drawing of what we wanted to build and gave it to them. On March 2, 2017 we received a "we can't satisfy you letter". If he can't design a 1000 square foot home with a drawing done for him, it's pretty sad. We asked for a $900. refund. Now, he won't return our calls. We felt half the payment was more than fair for the work he did. However, he gave us nothing we asked for.
In return, he gave us what he wanted to build. Our experience with Craid Smyth was nothing but dishonest! Don't waste your money. I am thankful to have found out the character of this man, before I gave him $200 to $250 a square foot to build a home. If this is how he treats his customers during the design phase, I am glad I did not find out how he builds a home. He wasted 6 months of our valuable building time.
