Upward Construction

"The guys had no easy task renovating our 1926 Craftsman-style home, which hadn't been updated in many, many decades. From sloping floors to hidden asbestos and knob and tube wiring, they handled every challenge like pros. I found out I was pregnant shortly before the reno started, and they were great about revising our schedule and figuring out how we could get back into our home earlier. My husband and I were blown away with the results of our renovation, which included a new kitchen and bathroom and open concept living space. I recommend Upward to anyone looking for trustworthy contractors who are a pleasure to work with -- and deliver excellent results."

"Thanks for meeting with us recently to review the state of our house build. As we've mentioned to you a, a key difference with your firm is that you personally "care" about the projects you undertake as well as the client's well-being which we've learned is paramount in any development project.We're writing this letter in order to assist your potential clients as we've learned a valuable lesson through our own house build. When we initially met in the summer of 2011 and you had provided us a quote on our project (pre-plans drafted), there was a notable variance in price with your budget versus the builder we ended up selecting; however, as the project commenced we quickly learned that his projections were grossly underestimated in order to win our business. Ultimately, the entire cost of the project is significantly higher than anticipated, thus your budget was very much in line with the "true" costs. If we had known this from the start, in a heartbeat we would have selected your company as we would have been 100% confident in the quality of construction and enjoyed the outstanding customer service we would have received. We would highly recommend Upward Construction and Renovation to any prospective clients and please do not hesitate to have them call us if they wish to receive a better understanding of our experience. Good luck with your business and thanks again for all your help!"

"As designers with some familiarity with the construction business, my wife and I were looking for a dependable contractor with a commitment to quality when we embarked on what we knew would be a challenging interior renovation and exterior envelope upgrade to our home. As is typical with most renovation projects, our project turned out to be a “voyage of discovery” as the layers of the 30 year old house were peeled back. Through the process, Michael Upward’s ongoing care and unflappable attention to our project was instrumental in achieving the results we were looking for. We would highly recommend Upward Construction to others, evidenced by the fact that we will be commencing another renovation with Michael in the near future."
