Clar Construction - Montpelier, Vermont

Catherine B.

Where to begin. From start to finish, and i mean that literally, Clar Construction provided the BEST possible experience i could have hoped for.

The design and ability to help me clarify my vision (including Annika Cooper from RK Miles! AND Dan Clar!); the transparency of costs, time lines, and issues (because EVERY build has issues); the quality of workmanship and the communication and attention to detail (including Sherman Plumley, the project manager! a man of few but concise and relevant words)...all aspects of the build were detailed, comprehensive, fun!

Nothing is perfect and neither was this build. From additional costs due to plumbing and electrical needs (could not have been forseen), a broken discontinued countertop (replacement is even BETTER!), and handpainted tiles that went awry (not their fault!). Dan Clar, Sherman Plumley and Annika Cooper handled it all with compassion, grace and care.

It starts and ends with Dan Clar. Dan is involved from beginning to end, but empowers his employees to to do what they do best! He know when to sit back and observe, and when it's time to jump in and help, both his people and his clients.

I am beyond grateful, so much so that a second project is now underway. Thank you Clar Construction, for making my house my forever HOME!

Our project cost more than expected, but that was because I didn't know what things really cost. As work progressed I saw what was involved. Dan, Jared & the fabulous Meg are real professionals.
I'm glad we chose Clar for our home renovation.

Clar Construction is my family's go to for home construction. The team has completed a number of projects in my home that have not only improved the structural integrity of the home but also created a beautiful space for our family to share. Not only is the Clar Construction team the most talented group of carpenters I have ever worked with, their attention to detail and cleanliness exceeds even my high expectations. There simply aren't enough stars available to align with my exceptionally high review of this construction company.

Dan and the people at Clar Construction are great! We were trying to get some work done to a house we were moving in to and called a few places to talk through the project. Dan's attention to detail during the walkthrough and for all the steps afterward leading up to the work commencing was reassuring and made us feel at ease when getting work done while we were remote. I had a general idea of what I wanted, but Dan and his team were able to make suggestions based on my rough drawing on how to make things even better.

During the renovations, his carpenter and team had the same attention to detail constantly keeping us updated on things that were going on, any issues that popped up (1 tiny issue for such an old house was great!) and when we could be in or out of the house.

The work was finished better than I could have imagined and right on time. We love the extra room and allowed our family to fit everything we wanted! Already have another project in mind for Dan and team next year!

The Clar team undertook significant structural and remodeling work on our old farmhouse. Dan's great planning skills helped the project go smoothly, even though it was technically complex and involved multiple subs. Each member of the Clar team was very personable and invested in the work. We're pleased with the end results and look forward to working with the team on our next project.

Dan and his team completed a major kitchen renovation at our home this winter. From start to finish, his communication was excellent. Dan helped us develop a design for the project; he promptly returned emails and he patiently and thoroughly answered all of our questions. Dan reviewed every last detail of the renovation and he and his team worked collaboratively with us any time there was a variation along the way. The whole project flowed smoothly and efficiently and stayed within our planned budget and timeframe.

During the construction phase, the Clar team paid close attention to detail and craftsmanship, and they were respectful and kept the job space clean. Our lead carpenter was particularly dedicated to the project and always made extra time to communicate with us while managing his team, the subcontractors and the project as a whole.

We are now living in our new kitchen and couldn’t be happier about how team Clar made our original conceptual ideas come to be a reality.

Excellent to work with and excellent work! It was awesome to be part of the entire process of design, defining a budget, and material choice so the end result was exactly what we wanted. Tweaks/options along the way as the build progressed were clearly communicated; no surprises. Highly recommend for any project if you want a very high quality result. We are super happy with our beautiful backyard deck! We are recommending Clar to all of our neighbors and friends.

Dan and his team built a beautiful desk/hutch in our kitchen. During the design process, Dan listened to all of our wishes and worked with us to create the exact piece we wanted. His team was great when they were working in our home- very friendly and tolerant of the kids and dog running around. They installed it in a timely manner and the finished piece is better than I hoped for! It really makes our kitchen look much better. I would be sure to hire Clar Construction again.
