What Clients Are Saying

“We ended up in our dream home within the overall budget we set, and the result was magnificent.”
 
We used CLE Consulting to build our Forever home in 2024. Working with Dawn and Mylinda, we had an amazing team. It started with them working with us to solicit requirements in what we wanted. We had some unique requirements including space for each of our 3 adult girls, a handicap friendly home throughout, and of course it still had to be within our budget. Both met with us at the architect’s office at he beginning and we designed the home from the ground up. Their attention to detail was present throughout the design and build. Dawn has amazing taste and gives great recommendations, but the best part is that she is also a builder and knows the value of the dollar. Frequently, she was able to steer us to better options at each of our selection appointments making sure that we maximized our investment dollar. Each of the subcontractors and partner suppliers they use are all top notch and is clear that Dawn and Mylinda’s relationships with them makes all the difference. Overall, we ended up in our dream home within the overall budget we set out and the result is quite magnificent. I would highly recommend CLE to anyone interested in a custom home!

“We put off renovating our home...until we met Dawn!”
 
"For years, my hubby and I put off renovating our home because we weren’t connecting with any of the contractors, until we met Dawn! She was the right person for the job which included creating a master bedroom ensuite, moving our laundry room to the main floor, installing new lighting throughout the house, and repainting every square inch of every single room. Thanks to Dawn, Mylinda and crew, the renovations went off without any hiccups and we are now living in and loving a brand-new old house! Dawn really is the best!"

Salli & Loren, August 2024

“The schedule was exactly as promised and very well communicated”
"CLE performed at a high level of expectation and was very flexible with any changes I made during my renovation. The schedule was exactly as promised and very well communicated. I would recommend Dawn and her team to anyone that wants a cost conscious, easy to work with contractor that knows how to get your job done the way you want it. CLE puts the customer first.
I love my new master bathroom and laundry and would highly recommend CLE for any renovation project."

Pam Keiner, June 2024

"Dawn made the process easier than I ever expected"
"Dawn McIntosh with CLE Design Build did a wonderful job with our remodel project. We redid both bathrooms, a Landry, kitchen updates, carpet and paint and many other things. Dawn is very organized and walked us thru out our choices for fixtures, tile etc. Dawn made the process much easier than I ever expected and was able to finish the project as scheduled and the bonus was that happened while we’re gone in Florida. She gave lots of updates by mail or call. If things came up during the remodel she took care of them. For the few items at the end to take care of after she handled them promptly.

We really love our new remodel and highly recommend Dawn for any remodel or building projects.

Thanks Dawn for the care and attention to detail you brought to our project."

Dennis & Pat, June 2024

"Dawn dared to think beyond our initial ideas"
"Dawn impressed us from the very beginning. We were already capable of renovating a space, but we wanted someone who could envision the space beyond what we thought was possible. Dawn was the only designer we met with who dared to think beyond our initial ideas for the space. She was also very flexible during the project and did not push specific products or design choices on us. Dawn and Mylinda were always responsive to our communications. It felt like a true collaboration."

Derek & Kristin, June 2024

"We had a smooth and seamless experience"
"We had a tremendous experience working with Dawn, Mylinda and the rest of her team. We were out of town during most of the demo and renovation of our master bath and had a very smooth and seamless experience. Dawn is very easy to work with, is very responsive, and in the end, helped us create a beautiful bath!"

Linda & Jim, June 2024

"It's rare to find such a combination of professionalism, expertise, and genuine friendship"
"I chose Dawn and her team to build our parade home because they came highly recommended, and I am so glad we made that decision. It turned out to be one of the best building experiences I have ever had. Not only did we end up with an amazing home, but we also formed a valuable partnership. Dawn and her team have become more than just builders; they have become friends and collaborators. We are not only enjoying our beautiful new home but also working together to support each other's businesses and share in our mutual success. It's rare to find such a combination of professionalism, expertise, and genuine friendship in the home-building process, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome."

Kerry Kane, January 2024

“We were working with people we could trust”

"From the first time we met with Dawn and Mylinda to discuss our ideas for our remodeling/addition project to the time we moved back into our beautiful new space, we felt that we were working with people we could trust. They listened to us, guided us through challenging decisions, tactfully offered sound suggestions about function and design at key times, resolved issues, reassured us, and worked hard with their highly-skilled team to make our dreams an even better reality. We could not have asked for a better experience in working with a contractor! You will all be in our hearts forever."
