ClayWoods Homes Inc.

We needed to finish our basement to increase our living space including 2 bedrooms, a family room, a kitchenette, and a full bathroom. We met with 5 different contractors but liked James and Ian from the start. They were professional, courteous, knowledgeable and friendly from their first visit to when the job was completed. We liked that not only are they the owners, but were here working with their crew as well. We were impressed by every member of their team. They respected our home and cleaned up everyday. They finished on time and on budget. Their communication with us was exactly what we were hoping for and they answered any questions we had promptly. The finished product is absolutely stunning and we love that they thought of things that we didn’t but are really enjoying in our new space. We highly recommend ClayWoods Homes Inc and will definitely be using them for future projects.

Claywoods exceeded our expectations from start to finish. We have had bad experiences with contactors in the past. We were hesitant to hire someone to do our basement but James assured us the end product would be as we hoped.

James, Ian and their team are extremely professional, organized, worked cleanly and had great communication throughout the whole process.

The timeline was spot on! They were willing to stay late and work extra to ensure everything got done on time.

We are really satisfied with the finished product and would recommend them to anyone! My father and neighbors are already asking for Claywoods information for projects of their own!

Thank you Claywoods for transforming our disaster of a basement into a masterpiece!

James Ian and James2 were very professional, knowledgeable and helpful with the kitchen design. My dream kitchen was built right before my eyes. I will recommend their Company to my family and friends. They are the best.

Based on our search for a company to renovate our kitchen, with quality workmanship at a competitive price, we found Claywoods....and we are glad we did! A one stop shop company that looked after everything! James and Ian were great through every step, from planning to execution. We now have a beautiful kitchen.

We will definitely contact them again for future work.

James and Ian were great to work with on this commercial project which included leveling floors, carpet tile, two bathrooms, office space, kitchenette, and electrical upgrades. They were very professional and excellent communicators throughout the process. They finished early and under budget - what more could you ask! Their quality of work and knowledge was superb and I will certainly choose them for future projects. Highly recommended with no reservations!

We are thrilled with the kitchen that James and Ian from ClayWoods Homes created for us. We wanted a brand new and larger kitchen. ClayWoods provided really helpful advice on getting the permit required to knock down the wall which allowed us to expand the kitchen. After we got the permit, they managed everything else with the project. We talked about our needs and wants and they provided a plan for us to think about. Since we are new to renovations we valued their ideas and design advice. We discussed the plan throughout the project and we were able to make minor changes without issue.

James and Ian are very hard workers and were dedicated to our project. We really liked how our project was the only one they were working on at the time. This allowed the project to finish ahead of schedule and on budget. I appreciated how they cleaned up each day and did everything they could to keep us comfortable throughout such an invasive renovation. It was a big renovation which involved our entire main level, yet we had good space to relax each evening at the end of our work days.

We highly recommend ClayWoods Homes for renovations.

Extremely happy with the quality and service received. Jamie and Ian were very professional and were very helpful. Very knowledgeable in all aspects of the renovation. I would highly recommend their services and look forward to working with them again.

Thanks Guys.

We were very lucky to have found ClayWoods Homes Inc. on the TrustedPros website. ClayWoods Homes Inc. did an AMAZING job on our main floor renovation. From the first time we met James and Ian we knew we could trust them and our home would be in good hands. The quality of work was amazing and the job site was always kept clean. They did an excellent job of communicating with us during each step of the process.

We had them install new flooring, pot lights, new doors, trim, baseboards, paint throughout the main floor, wainscoting in two rooms, some structural changes, construct built-ins around our fireplace and all plumbing and electrical that needed to be addressed.

Both James and Ian were very knowledgeable about products and design. They were ready to do anything that was asked but also offered very valuable suggestions that made our vision better than we first thought. We are very lucky to have dealt with ClayWoods Homes Inc. and we are looking forward to having them back to help us with our next project.

James was extremely professional an returned my request for a quote very quickly. The quote was the exact amount of the job and it was completed within established time-frames.

The work was excellent, timely and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend ClayWoods Homes Inc. to anyone looking for quality work by a professionals.

Claywoods was the winner in our research for a contractor to redo our kitchen. They were courteous, their plan was great and the workmanship was top notch. They made changes as we went along and they came back when the job was finished to fix minor issues. We highly recommend them. Call them and come over to see their work.

I just want to thank ClayWoods Homes for an excellent professional job done to our home. James and Ian are such great guys. They communicated concerns and ideas with us every step of the way. They were timely and very neat workers. They continued to give us support during the whole process and made excellent recommendations on design and style of the renovations. They were very friendly to whole family and would recommend them to anyone. All a very positive experience. People are in awe when they enter our home and see such a beautiful transformation done. Going to miss their smiling faces and their humor.

Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for a wonderful job, James and Ian.

I have had two basements finished by ClayWoods Homes Inc. James and Ian really took the time to understand the vision for both basements and created a final product that reflected my vision. They were committed to working on my project before starting any others. The budget was respected and the work was completed well within the financial limits. I look forward to having ClayWoods Homes Inc. complete my next project and would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of renovation, small or large.

The following is our review for the KITCHEN REMODEL, August 2017 by Claywoods Homes :

We are very proud to write a review concerning CLAYWOODS HOMES, the contractors for our Kitchen Remodel, August, 2017.  When we requested a quote for our extremely outdated kitchen we were met with immediate enthusiasm and attention.  Jamie and Ian came over to assess the potential job within a couple of days.  During the assessment they both listened to our vision, concerns and in turn, asked questions as to what we expected out of the job that was to be done.  We were then happy to note that there were excellent  added suggestions that we could ponder.  Within a couple of days we were given a detailed quote in writing as to what to expect in terms of the job, the costs, what would be included and what we would be responsible for.  It was laid out nice and neat and without dispute.  We accepted the terms of the contract and right on time, the job was started, continued daily and finished in the allotted time.  The job site was always kept neat, clean and out of harm's way for us when they were not at the residence on the job.  The end result was exactly, perhaps even better, than what we had envisioned.

We would have no trouble at all, in fact, would highly recommend, CLAYWOODS HOMES to anyone, even strangers, as they will get quality work at a fair price with a finished product that will stand up to the test of time. 

Thank you Jamie & Ian for your expertise, ideas and quality of work and your pleasing personalities!!

James and Ian were amazing. Their communication was clear and timely. They were kind, knowledgeable, and patient, and followed through on what they said they would do and more! They offerred to work longer days in order to accommodate a tight schedule for the project and then not only did they do this, but they finished ahead of schedule - something that doesn't seem to happen much in this industry. They were also helpful in providing contacts for other trades for our project. We couldn't be more pleased and have no reservations in recommending them. We will be using them for future projects! Hire them - you will not be sorry.

Thank you both!

I hired ClayWoods homes to complete my entire basement with laundry, bedroom, hallways, small bathroom, and a common area with kitchenette. Ian and James were prompt to come look at the project even though they still had other projects on the go. What stood out most to me was their ability to communicate ideas and solutions in a very effective manner without trampling on my vision or hopes. I have hired contractors before but never for a project this large so I made sure to occasionally throw a few mind bender issues their way; I could not stump them and every problem got resolved very quickly and without frustration. I particularly liked Ian and James' common sense of knowing when to deviate from the plan without having to ask; or when to ask before deviating from the plan; they can really read their customer's mind. I did ask for a few small revisions after the framing and they had it done in no time without any fuss. They gave me complete transparency throughout the project and am extremely happy with the finished job. In fact, I'd say it turned out even better than was promised. Will definitely call ClayWoods Homes again for my next project.

Ian and James at ClayWoods Homes were fantastic. When it comes to getting the job done these guys don't mess about. Our attic was refinished swiftly and with precision. They are professional and personable. Great to work with.

The team was amazing, on time, quick, cleaned up everything. Guys were polite and a pleasure to have around, would use them again in a heartbeat!

We recently bought a 25 year old home from an older couple. The home was original and needed a lot of work. We contracted ClayWoods Homes to replace all floors, remove and install a new kitchen, paint the entire house, renovate a master bath and a 3 piece bath. Workmanship was stellar. The entire crew were friendly and professional. They went above and beyond what was required and agreed upon. I was expecting to have extra costs creep up on us but instead we received more than we had originally agreed would be included in the cost. We highly recommend this company for jobs of any size. Was a breath of fresh air over other contractor experiences.

When my family unexpectedly found the house of our dreams 2 years ago, we were faced with the sudden realization that we needed to prepare, list and sell our existing home... and we had to do it fast. I called James from ClayWoods Homes, and I couldn't be happier that I did. James came to my house the very next day to look at the work I needed to have done, and provide a quote. First and foremost, I was impressed with how professional James was. He took the time to listen to what I wanted to have done, but then went above and beyond to offer his suggestions based on his years of experience. James made suggestions based on what would look amazing while giving me a big return on my investment. James and his crew quickly went to work replacing all the baseboard trim through-out the house. They added the most elegant crown molding through-out all levels of the house, and finished all the doorways (and archways) through the main level of my house. I didn't even think the archways needed to be done, but maaaaaan, their workmanship was second to none. I really couldn't believe how much attention they paid to details. I consider myself a fairly handy guy, but these guys measured and cut everything to perfection. There are literally no cracks, spaces or seams in any of their work. We ended up selling out house FAST and got over our asking price. The ClayWoods Homes team did such an incredible job on our old house, that my wife insisted they install the same crown-molding in our new house.

Really, we couldn't be happier with the work these guys have now done on two of our homes. I don't often take the time to complete reviews, or even refer a business (or person), but for ClayWoods Homes... I really have no choice. They really are THAT good! If you need work done, and you want it to be professional, at a fair price... Look no further. Do business with confidence.. these guys are the real deal.

Thank you, James!

Very professional work. Always on time. Work was completed as discussed and approved.

Thank you to Ian and James for an exceptional job renovating our home. We couldn't be happier with the results. Both Ian and James were professional and courteous throughout the process. It was great to have understanding contractors who were able to give us advise and help with planning while staying on budget. They went above and beyond our expectations. Would highly recommend Claywood Homes to anyone looking to renovate their home.

This is the 3rd time I have used ClayWoods Homes Inc. to complete work in our home and wouldn't hesitate to use their services again in the future. They completed my entire basement renovation exactly to my specifications (even undoing and redoing minor work when something wasn't quite as i envisioned) and worked with my budget to do it. They were tidy, courteous, and keep me informed during the entire process and I was completely comfortable with them in my home as much of the time, they worked when no one was home. Their attention to details and desire to ensure I was completely satisfied with the finished project has ensured I will continue to recommend them!

ClayWoods professionalism and attention to detail was outstanding. Extremely helpful from the first inquiry through completion of the project. Always willing to provide input and design ideas to make our dream renovation even better while keeping our budget and original vision intact. Their attentiveness to cleanliness, organization and reliability could not go unmentioned as it made for a seamless renovation with minimal to no impact to our daily lives. A project on budget, on time and with no surprises. Highly recommended.

Ian and James did a good job. They have a creative eye with quality craftsmanship. We are pleased with the way our basement turned out.

James and Ian did an exceptional and quick work in framing our basement. Their work made the work of the other trades (plumbing and drywall) go very smoothly. They also provided creative suggestions during the project as opportunities arose.

The Team at ClayWoods Homes did a fantastic job on our recent renovations! They started & finished the project within the timeline promised, they came in on budget but most importantly to us, they were not afraid of offering an opinion. Far too often contractors will complete the job they are hired to do, but if there is a better way or an idea they think would work, we have found that this rarely gets shared. James, Ian & Team understand that the job is important, but the interaction with the client is just as important, because you have to love the finished project!

Putting our trust & home in their knowledgeable hands was an easy decision. We will definately use them again for our future projects & would not hesitate to recommend them!

Ian and James were extremely efficient and courteous. They were on time each day for the entirety of the job and even offered to pick us up a coffee on their way in some mornings.

There were a few minor reno-related snags along the way and they each came up with multiple viable options and ran them past us to ensure our satisfaction.

Their Communication and professionalism were what stood out for us.

10/10 would hire again.

I'm very happy with the recent work done in our basement by Claywoods Homes Inc. The communication by James and Ian kept us informed of everything from time lines to payment schedules and any minor plan adjustments along the way.

They stayed on budget throughout the project and completed the work in the time they said they would.

The workmanship of our newly completed basement is amazing. It was a pleasure to work with James and Ian and I would gladly do so again. The guys were always friendly, courteous and easy to deal with. I'd recommend Claywoods to anyone who is looking for a professional job by a trustworthy contractor who offer great attention to detail.

Ian and James were fantastic! They were professional, worked quickly, where reasonably priced, and they cleaned up daily. They also put great attention to the fine details. For example they included crown molding in the basement and even in the closets. And most importantly they stayed within the budget. I am extremely impressed with the work they did and would highly recommend them!!!
