If we could give Clemco Construction 10 stars, we would! From the start, Tom went above and beyond to source the unusual live-cut wavy lumber to replicate the original siding on our Tudor house. Then he & his team did a fantastic job installing the boards. Everyone was so courteous and friendly. The attention to detail was amazing. They took so much care to get everything exactly right. Tom is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He and his crew are expert craftsmen. Finally, the clean-up was perfect. We are completely delighted with the results. 10 stars!! -

I was looking to restore a few rooms of my historic home, while being rejected by many contractors, I found Tom and he far exceeded my expectations. Tom does beautiful work and a very patient demeanor that allowed me to feel comfortable working with him. No job is too intricate or difficult for Clemco and the price was fair.

And Tom said: “I can honestly say I’ve done the best job I can” i.e patchwork that doesn’t match and wasn’t even sanded, sloppy paint job, and big patches of missing polyurethane, one coat in places we asked for two. We had told him we wanted black floors in July, he says he never saw any of the images we sent him and that it was our fault for the delays because he had to do two test rooms. He did keep saying he had 42 years of experience…but it seems they didn’t even fully vacuum before applying the paint, and there’s dust in the paint. So….images speak louder than words…and Dear Tom, people have a right to know this. Had we known what you’re really like we would have gone with someone else. I also wouldn’t work with him if you’re lgbt+ or a woman.

Very Professional. Highly recommended. After reaching out to several contractors to perform restoration and construction work on my 1884 home, I hired Clemco to build a replacement two floor wrap-around porch with slate roof and to construct a separate belvedere with a roof top cupola and finial. I wasn't disappointed. Tom's blend of craftsmanship, restoration knowledge and work experience resulted in a finished project that exceeded all my expectations. Tom's advice and insights led to incorporating design and construction changes that enhanced the appearance and historical accuracy of the finished project. The workmanship was superb. His pricing is fair and he and his crew are a pleasure to deal with.

My wife and I have hired Clemco Construction and Restoration for several jobs at our home and have been nothing short of amazed each time. Tom and his guys do a stand up job, are on time, and clean up after each work day. Tom leaves no questions unanswered and comes up with a plan that far exceeds expectations of a homeowner. I'd be lying if I said there is another person in this field of work who is more knowledgeable. We will continue to call upon Clemco Construction and Restoration for all of our construction needs!

Tom and his crew have done work at our 1901 Victorian home on several occasions. They have rebuilt our chimney from the roofline up in brick, installed windows throughout our home, repaired “yankee gutters” on our bay window, and recently refurbished our front porch. Tom is a true craftsman. He designed and cut moldings for our front porch that have enhanced its beauty. He has a “great eye.” He sticks to the historic accuracy of a home and offers great advice with design and colors. His prices are always fair, and the quality of his work (and his crew) is excellent. We feel grateful to have found him. We highly recommend him.

Tom and his team at Clemco were fantastic. We initially reached out to Clemco for advice when we were given an astronomical quote to fix and restore our 19th century Queen Anne chimney stack. Tom visited the site and was able to quickly assess the situation, and propose an estimate. Clemco offered a realistic timeline for project start and completion. The work crew on-site took extra care during and after the project. Clemco’s restoration experience was evident throughout. We fully trust Tom and team, and look forward to using him again and again with any restoration work our home will need!

We have known Tom Clemmens and his team for many years, and he has done numerous projects for us.

For each and every one he brought distinctive designs, beautiful materials and extraordinary workmanship, from the building of our redwood deck, to his unique stone and brick work on our façade to his rebuilding and raising ceilings, hewing beams, constructing moldings and shelving to renovating bedrooms and windows and bathrooms, redoing roofing and revamping our entire drainage system.

He is a true artist with the eye and the skill to create gorgeous structures. We let him design everything, and every day we love what he has created for us.

To top it all off, he is a kind, considerate, respectful and unbelievably modest person, and his prices are more than fair.

We feel very fortunate to have met him.
