Accurate grading is essential in excavation projects to prevent water pooling, soil erosion, and foundation instability. We carefully shape and level the terrain to direct proper drainage flow away from structures, helping protect your investment from long-term damage. Every grading and excavation project is completed with precise slope calculations, soil compaction standards, and strict adherence to local building codes.
Our experienced team operates efficiently while prioritizing safety and environmental responsibility. Whether excavating for a residential foundation, utility trenching, or a large-scale construction site, we deliver precise, reliable results that meet structural requirements and keep your project moving forward with confidence.
Excavation and grading not only prepare your property for construction but also improve overall site functionality and accessibility. Removing excess soil, reshaping uneven terrain, and preparing designated build areas create a stable environment for foundations, utilities, and structural development. Our process ensures the site is properly excavated and construction-ready while minimizing disruption to surrounding areas.
By investing in professional excavation services, you reduce the risk of costly delays, drainage failures, and long-term structural complications. With modern heavy equipment, experienced operators, and detailed project planning, we deliver reliable site development solutions designed to support your project safely and efficiently—from the ground up.

Posted on Cheryl WillsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The work that Collin does is beautiful. He checks everything out and shows you exactly what needs to be done. The workers he has do exactly what their told. If there is any question he answers them and makes sure you know what is going on then proceeds the best way to complete the job. I have had him do many jobs for me and all of them are done correctly. I rate him as 1-10 a 10+. Give him a call because you have the decision on the best to help you out.Posted on Julianna MoschiniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We partnered with Upstate Construction and Renovation on several large home projects, we’re so pleased with the results! The owner is easy to work with, an expert builder and craftsman. My kitchen and primary bathroom are my favor rooms in the house because of his tile work.Posted on Liz VogtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Colin Allan and his crew did a great job of repairing and remodeling our two bathrooms, as well as fixes to the piping and flooring. He always answered phone calls and messages and showed up on time. He is by far the best contractor with whom we’ve worked. We definitely recommend his business and will be using him again. In an era when you can’t get contractors to show up and do what they’re supposed to, he’s a pleasant surprise.Posted on Applebee's SenecaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Colin and his crew did a fantastic job replacing our roof. They were punctual and worked tirelessly to get the job done all while we were still operating our restaurant. We highly recommend them for any reconstruction projects and will be using them in the future.Posted on reid heinertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The quality of craftsmanship was excellent, and every detail was handled with care. What stood out most was their reliability, honesty, showing up when they said they would, keeping the job site clean, and finishing the project on schedule. If you’re looking for a general contractor who is honest, skilled, and takes pride in their work, I highly recommend Upstate Construction.Posted on Jeffery CopelandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Colin is very professional, timely, excellent communication, knowledgeable and a man of his word! I would highly recommend him!Posted on Mike ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Colin’s team worked tirelessly on our 200-year-old farmhouse, while other contractors were hesitant to take on the project. I am incredibly grateful for Colin’s intervention and collaboration in restoring the farmhouse to its former glory. They began by renovating the foundation and gradually progressed to installing a new roof. I am truly thankful to have met Colin; despite our frequent changes of mind during the remodel, he always maintained a positive attitude and offered reassurance, saying, “I can do it.”Posted on Julia YatesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Colin and his team did an outstanding job remodeling my MIL’s master bathroom to make it more accessible for her. He converted her tub/shower into a walk-in shower with handheld faucet. He did a perfect job, tiling the walls, replacing the flooring, and completing all the trim work as well as installing the toilet. The work was done timely and professionally. I would highly recommend them for any renovation work!Posted on Ryan BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best builder i know! This group does excellent work at a reasonable price.Posted on albert citroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My initial experience was with Upstate as a carpenter subcontractor on a major/complex renovation of our home during which time we were still residing in the home. Colin, (the owner) is a licensed GC. He and his primary employees, John and Matt far exceeded my expectations: 1. Work Ethic - arrived every morning as scheduled and worked an entire 8+ hour shift until the daily goal was reached. 2. Communication - always provided situational awareness of what their work entailed and provided timely updates for required deviations to the plan. 3. Ability and Competence - bottom line up front is these gentlemen are capable, experienced, intelligent/competent craftsmen. 4. Veracity - the experience was stress free and I was quick to realize these folks were not proffering BS over actuality. They welcomed our input and truly tried to provide what we were asking but always offered an honest assessment on cost, proficiency and aesthetics. 5. Cleanliness - They are clean and respectful of the home and always properly prepared the area around the work location to prevent unwanted dust and debris while continuously cleaning throughout the day. 6. Referrals - most importantly, we never hesitate to refer Upstate to our friends and neighbors. Thanks again fellas.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
