Testimonials From Our Clients

Our bathroom and closet renovation was in the superb hands (and creative minds) of Dan, Matt and the entire Clar Construction team including an outstanding group of subcontractors for tile, electric, plumbing, etc.

Working with Clar from concept through completion was seamless and truthfully, fun. Dan and his team ensured exceptional and clear project communication throughout the entire process; the budgets were followed, meticulously reviewed, and importantly met at the project’s completion.

Our renovation included moving walls and taking the existing bathroom space to the studs. Remarkably, we never had to move out of our bedroom throughout the entire job. Everyone on the job cleaned up at the end of each day, which made living in the midst of construction remarkably easy. Importantly, the project workmanship, attention to every detail, and creative problem-solving were outstanding, whether it was anyone on the Clar crew or the various subcontractors. Having “additional folk” in our home every day could not have been easier.

The working relationship and quality of work exceeded our expectations. The entire Clar Construction team receives our high praise and recommendation.

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.

Thank you so much for orchestrating and producing such a lovely renovation at our house. The floors and cabinets are works of art, and your staff are professional and competent.

Along the way, we’ve appreciated your vision and adaptability as the project changed. Also, thank you so much for the time you invested in small things that took forever, like knobs and the faucet. It made such a difference.

Good morning, Dan. As you know, Carolyn and I are very pleased with the bathroom. It came out so well. A perfect blend of design and execution. You have been the maestro of the symphony and everyone in the orchestra played their parts excellently.

Ron & Carolyn F.

We purchased our wonderful historic 1895 duplex on Sibley Ave back in the summer of 2019. The front porch had long-lived out its lifetime and needed a total restoration and after researching local contractors it was clear the Dan Clar Construction was at the top of the list. We wanted a historic restoration with attention to detail and Dan’s track record for excellent craftsmanship, expertise and passion for historic preservation made it quite clear that he and his crew was the one for this project.

Overall from the initial planning process throughout the entire project, Dan was always available for consultation, advise and was extremely helpful, respectful, and had wonderful ideas and solutions when unexpected problems arose as they always do when you are working with a building that is 125 years old house. Throughout the project, I was in Portland Oregon and unable to travel to Montpelier because of covid-19 and never once did I worry or fret because I knew my project was in the hands of the best. I have been involved with historic preservation and house renovation for over the past 30 years and never in my journey have I ever had such a positive and perfect outcome.

Dan Clar and his crew are the absolute best!

Dan does beautiful work. During covid, he worked with me (at a distance) to plan major renovations to a condo, coordinated the work remarkably efficiently given the circumstances, responded to my queries and changes quickly, and did his best to address any concerns I had. The result is all I had hoped for.

I was also pleased to hear from employees and others who worked with Dan that he is an exemplary employer who does his utmost to keep his employees and clients safe, provide good working conditions and benefits, and makes employees feel valued and respected. Renovations are costly, to be sure, but with Dan one can be confident that they will be done very well.

Mary W.

We were very pleased with Clar Construction from the outset. They were very responsive and professional throughout the process, from the initial communications via email to the planning phase to the actual completion of the work.

Furthermore, and most importantly, the work was done skillfully. We look forward to our next home project with Clar Construction!
