About Cedar Grove Construction

.

Family-Owned Construction, Remodeling & Renovation Experience Since 1980

Cedar Grove Construction has been helping homeowners improve, remodel, restore, and reimagine their homes in Utah County and Salt Lake County for more than 40 years.

Founded in 1980 by Scott Cleverly, Cedar Grove Construction was built on quality craftsmanship, honest work, and respect for the homes and families we serve. Today, the company is owned and operated by Scott’s son, Shannon Cleverly, carrying forward the same family standard of care, detail, and lasting results.

From brand-new builds and home additions to kitchen updates, bathroom remodels, basement finishing, whole-home renovations, ADUs, detached garages, decks, pergolas, patio covers, and outdoor living spaces, Cedar Grove Construction brings experience and practical construction knowledge to every project.

We believe a good remodeling project should do more than improve how a home looks. It should improve how the home works, how it feels, and how well it supports the people who live there.

A Family Construction Company With Deep Utah Roots

Cedar Grove Construction began with Scott Cleverly in 1980. Over the decades, the company has worked on homes across Utah County and Salt Lake County, helping homeowners build, remodel, update, restore, and improve the spaces where their families live.

That history matters.

Home remodeling is personal. A contractor is not just working on a structure. They are working inside your home, around your family, your routines, your budget, your property, and your long-term plans. A good contractor needs more than tools and materials. They need experience, communication, care, and the ability to think through how each part of a project affects the rest of the home.

As a family-owned and operated business, Cedar Grove Construction treats each project with the kind of attention we would want in our own homes. That means being thoughtful about planning, clear about expectations, respectful during construction, and focused on results that last.

Carrying the Craft Forward

Today, Cedar Grove Construction is owned and operated by Shannon Cleverly.

Shannon continues the work started by his father, Scott, with a focus on honesty, detail, craftsmanship, and helping homeowners feel confident through the remodeling process. The company’s background in home building, remodeling, renovations, and restorations gives Cedar Grove a practical understanding of both older homes and newer homes across the region.

Some projects are straightforward updates. Others involve structural planning, multiple trades, permits, utilities, phased work, occupied-home remodeling, and careful coordination between new and existing spaces.

Cedar Grove Construction is built to help homeowners think through those details before construction begins, so the finished project feels intentional instead of pieced together.

Built Around Planning, Communication and Craftsmanship

A successful project starts before construction begins.

We take time to understand what is not working, what the homeowner wants to improve, what the home and property will allow, and what details need to be addressed early. That may include layout, materials, access, structure, utilities, permits, budget expectations, timing, finish selections, and how the work will affect daily life.

Our approach is built around:

We know remodeling can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to make the process easier to understand and the finished result worth the investment.

Respectful Work in Occupied Homes

Many remodeling projects happen while the family is still living in the home.

That means the construction process matters. Homeowners need to know what areas may be affected, when decisions need to be made, how access will work, and what to expect as the project moves forward.

Cedar Grove Construction works efficiently and respectfully in occupied homes. We pay attention to communication, scheduling, cleanliness, access, safety, pets, children, parking, and the daily disruption that construction can create.

The finished project matters, but so does the way the home is treated during the work.

Experience With Newer Homes, Older Homes and Major Renovations

Northern Utah County and Southern Salt Lake County include a wide variety of homes.

In newer-growth communities like Eagle Mountain, Saratoga Springs, Lehi, Herriman, and South Jordan, homeowners often want to finish basements, improve builder-grade kitchens and bathrooms, add outdoor living space, build detached garages, or expand homes as families grow.

In established areas like Draper, Sandy, Alpine, Highland, Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Midvale, and Cottonwood Heights, projects may involve remodeling older layouts, updating dated finishes, improving primary suites, replacing older decks, expanding kitchens, or coordinating larger whole-home renovations.

Cedar Grove Construction helps homeowners plan improvements around the actual home, property, and household — not a one-size-fits-all template.

Why Homeowners Choose Cedar Grove Construction

Over 40 Years of Utah Construction Experience

Founded in 1980, Cedar Grove Construction has decades of experience in home building, remodeling, renovations, restorations, and major residential improvements throughout Utah County and Salt Lake County.

Family-Owned and Operated Company

Cedar Grove Construction was founded by Scott Cleverly and is now owned and operated by his son, Shannon Cleverly. That family history shapes the way we approach communication, craftsmanship, and care for each home.

We help homeowners think through how the space will actually be used. A remodel should be attractive, but it also needs to function well, hold up over time, and fit the rest of the home.

Clear Communication

Homeowners should not be left guessing during a project. Cedar Grove Construction focuses on clear expectations, practical planning, and communication that helps the process feel more manageable.

Respect for the Home

Whether remodeling a kitchen, finishing a basement, building an addition, or creating an outdoor living space, Cedar Grove Construction treats the home and property with the care you expect and deserve.

Our Remodeling Process

1. Consultation

We start by learning what you want to build, remodel, improve, or change. This helps us understand your goals, priorities, timeline, and concerns.

2. Site Review

We review the home or property, existing conditions, visible constraints, access, layout, utilities, structure, and how the project may affect the rest of the home.

3. Planning and Scope

We help define the project scope, layout direction, materials, priorities, permit-related needs, and the practical construction path.

4. Estimate and Project Direction

Once the scope is better defined, Cedar Grove Construction provides an estimate based on the planned work and discusses what decisions need to be made before the project moves forward.

5. Construction

During construction, we coordinate the work, communicate with the homeowner, manage the project details, and focus on quality craftsmanship through each phase.

6. Final Walkthrough

At completion, we review the finished work, address final details, and make sure the space is ready for use.
