Testimonials

We recently decided it was time to upgrade our kitchen.  We talked to several companies about handling this renovation.  We have known Woody and Gayle for almost 15 years and have seen quite a few of the homes built by Claris Building Company.  They are well-planned, well-constructed and tastefully designed.

We are very glad we selected Claris Inc!  Woody did an excellent job managing all elements of the work and his sources and subs were good and dependable.  Woody completed the kitchen inside his projected timing and was on budget.  It was a great experience.  We highly recommend Claris Inc. for any renovation you might want to undertake.   Dick & Susan Dennis


Woody Claris is a class-act builder! 

We moved to Chapel Hill from San Diego and bought our wonderful Claris-built country house, thoughtfully placed in a mix of forest and lawn on a sunset-facing hill. We had Woody come back many times and had a screened porch added, a fine custom fireplace-entertainment system in the master bedroom designed, built, and installed, and we had Woody and his team make additions to our kitchen. The design work, the initial sketches, the scheduling and follow-through were all accomplished by Woody Claris. We definitely recommend Woody Claris to build or remodel your home.

Although it had been a year since Woody Claris remodeled our kitchen/downstairs, we are as thrilled today as the day that the job was completed. As our first major remodel we were quite trepidatious, but working with Woody truly felt like teamwork. Throughout the 10-week job, Woody was always readily accessible and willing to discuss every detail with us. He was always willing to address our concerns and to help us think through unanticipated aspects of our remodel, providing a range of options and suggestions. The timeline and budget for our job was right on target, and Woody made certain we were thoroughly satisfied. Best of all, we have maintained a friendship with Woody and his wife and hope to count on him for future projects!  Jeff and Francesca Eischen

Woody Claris built a custom house for my wife and me in 2006.  We met Woody right after we bought our lot in Chapel Hill, and knew right away that this was the builder that we wanted to build our house.  Woody made the building process easy for us, while allowing my wife and I to participate in decisions and choices that were important to us and interested us.  Building a custom house means lots of moving parts with a lot of decisions and Woody was flexible when we wanted to make changes, but always reminded us of the budget considerations too.  We have thoroughly enjoyed our house and plan on living in it for a long, long time.  Hence when it came time to finish the basement, we made sure to contact Woody and see if he would be able to work with us on the basement.  Luckily for us, Woody was available.  Once again our experience with Woody and the basement was great.  Not only did everything turn out wonderful in the timeframe that he estimated, but he was also able to keep us under budget.  We have had two major projects with Woody and two great successes.  We would recommend him to anybody looking to remodel, add additions or build a house.  Eric & Rebecca Dingfelder

"Woody was great to work with - we met almost every day.  The attic space that we finished was a big challenge and required a lot of design as you go to achieve the results we wanted.  We were more than pleased with the final product."

Susan and I want to sincerely thank you for the care, skill and integrity you demonstrated throughout our renovation.   Our home is now a warm, welcoming and magnificent place thanks in no small measure to your expertise.   All this was accomplished with our request for an eye to economy, which you consistently honored.   And if that wasn't enough, you are also a pleasure to have gotten to know personally as well.    You can be certain we will recommend you in the future to anyone who may be in need of your services.

I would like to recommend Woody Claris to you.  This is a man of integrity who provides quality work on older homes needing repair or updating.  My home, outside terrace, and porch have all benefited from Woody’s eye for beauty and quality in the work he does.  I am very pleased with the outcome of his advice and efforts.

"We have known Woody from community activities for many years.  We selected him over several other possible builders for our home.  From the start he was creative, accessible and focused on providing exactly what we wanted in our new home.  We could not have been happier with the results."
