Company Profile : Our Approach
Our Approach
For more than 20 years, Clemleddy Construction has been building luxury, custom homes and quality renovations that consider and compliment the scenic, natural beauty of the Lake Wallenpaupack region of Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains.

Owner and President Craig Smyth honored the most influential man in his life—his great grandfather Clement Leddy—when he founded Clemleddy Construction in 1986.

His great grandfather’s unwavering sense of duty, honesty and morality forged a clear path for Smyth, who also acknowledges other important life experiences that helped him along the way. These include the work ethic he learned at an early carpentry job, and the confidence he gained while serving in the Army.

The Clemleddy Team of experienced and professional carpenters strives for perfection on each and every project. The many referrals and return customers are proof of our commitment to homebuilding excellence.

Green Building
"Being environmentally friendly is a Clemleddy tradition," says Owner and President Craig Smyth, who is recognized within his industry as a Certified Green Professional (CGP). Clemleddy’s commitment to building green continues throughout each project from framing to appliances.

  • Framing uses manufactured lumber, which reduces wood waste
  • Insulation features products with recycled content
  • Energy efficient air sealing is a priority that creates a tighter home envelope and results in long-term cost savings
  • Clemleddy Construction is an ENERGY STAR Partner
“We consistently build and renovate luxury homes with the best efficiencies available while keeping the environmental impact to a minimum,” adds Smyth.

Benefits of green building include:
  • Lower operating costs
  • Reduced maintenance
  • Increased home value
  • Improved environmental quality
