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.

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.

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.

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.
