Despite the stress of dealing with the insurance company, it was a pleasure working with you. We look forward to working with you on future projects. **Comment from Uprising Builders, LLC:** > Thank you Carla! It was a pleasure working with you on your project! **★★★★★ — Scott Baumgartner, Sept. 2018** > Uprising Builders did an amazing job renovating our tired kitchen on a shoestring budget. We invited Moses and Alyscia over to consult with us on what was possible with the space, and in every way they exceeded our expectations. They worked with us to understand our style and vision, and developed a proposal that was exactly what we were looking for. Moses has a deep knowledge of houses in the area and is really a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to electrical, plumbing, installation, and finish work. They completed the project on budget and far more quickly than we thought possible (about 3 weeks). We even were able to use our kitchen throughout the renovation, thanks to Moses' careful planning, professionalism, and cleanliness. When there was a small issue with getting the upper cabinets to fit with the roofline, Moses was resourceful and came up with a creative solution to the problem. We are so pleased and would definitely hire Uprising Builders again. **Comment from Uprising Builders, LLC:** > Scott, thank you for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure working with you and Kate on your kitchen project. Please don't hesitate to contact us again for future projects. **★★★★★ — Mandy Mitchell, March 2018** > I cannot begin to describe how much I now love my home, the pictures do not do it justice. I live in a historic building where the walls lean and it truly took a master craftsman to bring my vision to life. I cannot stress this enough, I had to heed the advice and expertise of Uprising Builders to achieve this outcome. A simple space was transformed into a modern apartment complete with Crown Moulding, trim work along all the baseboards, built ins and brand new bathroom upgrades. Unforeseen work was also skillfully completed when the team recognized structural damage due to termites, and without hesitation amended the contract to include replacing the damaged infrastructure. I must say the dedication to detail that the team delivered was above and beyond expectation. I highly recommend Uprising Builders as I will also be using them on all future projects! **Comment from Uprising Builders, LLC:** > Thank you for your kind and detailed review Mandy! It was a pleasure to work with you and we look forward to working with you on future projects. **★★★★★ — HU-1590100, Aug. 2016** > A truly professional and knowledge work force. Uprising Builders, provided a very detailed breakout of the estimate, project duration and provided great clarity in overcoming the challenges. From the many qualities the ones that stands out the most are the superb craftmanship, project cost and being able to meet our deadline. **★★★★★ — HU-184240, Aug. 2016** > I had the pleasure doing business with Uprising Builders earlier this year. The work executed was to the highest standards and showed an incredible level of detail and craftsmanship. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is in search of a first class craftsman and builder. **Comment from Uprising Builders, LLC:** > We really appreciate your of our company and are very thankful that we performed to your standards. I look forward to working with you on your future projects! **★★★★★ — J. Russell, Aug. 2016** > I normally don't take the time to write reviews but I had to rate this contractor. I got an estimate to tear down and rebuild the brick wall going down to my basement on the exterior of my Rambler which was built in the early 50s. The contractor showed up on time and discussed my options to rip down the existing structure and rebuild it including doing it so the structure is now part of the blueprint for the house. > > He discussed possibly cleaning the bricks and reusing them if possible and pricing that option as well as buying new bricks if the old ones were not re-useable. After the demolition we had to go with the latter and he went out and got me samples to match the house and gave me ample time to think about them and choose the best option for ME. > > Once the contract was in place, the work was completed on time and beautifully. I have a beautiful new wall with cinder blocks on the inside and a lovely wood covering with roof flush to the side of the house and a gutter to take the water away from the house. The previous structure had a gap between the roof and the house which allowed water to enter the stairwell and there was no gutter. > > I am so happy with the professionalism of the crew and the workmanship; they cleaned up all the trash at the end of each work day and above all the water problem from water seeping though the old porous structure has been eliminated. I can sleep like a baby when it storms instead of waking up to go see if water is coming in. **Comment from Uprising Builders, LLC:** > Thank you for the wonderful review Jolene! We truly enjoy having you as a client and appreciate your trust in us to complete your needs. We offer a sincere thanks to you. **★★★★★ — gpfister100, July 2016** > The Uprising Co built a 70 feet flagstone wall. Moses planed the project, informed me about every step he would take: replacing the old wall, building the inner wall consisting of stone and concrete, and on top of that set the flagstone layer in an artistic maner. The work was done swiftly and efficiently. It looks truly stunning and uplifts the neighborhood. People stop and compliment the wall. > I recommend the Uprising Co without any reservations. A job well done and a truly artistic result worth the price. > > Dr. Guenter Pfister **Comment from Uprising Builders, LLC:** > Thank you Guenter for your kind review! We are very happy to know you appreciate the stone wall. We also really enjoyed having you as a client and thankful for your admiration of the artistic quality that went into the wall. Thank you! **★ — Zed Samuel, March 2016** > We hired this husband and wife team to remodel our fireplace area for us... They were to demo some of the brick fire place, install built-ins and cover the face of the fireplace with tile. The wood work for the built-ins was great, the finishing of it was not that great and the tile work was very unprofessional. To elaborate, the wood work wasn't sanded very well so was rough to the touch and can see several chipped areas. The paint job was also not quality as I had they paint behind the built ins a turquoise color and it's patchy and the lines are not clean. Lastly the tile work... just horrible and to make it worse they were so unprofessional that they would take no blame for the fact that the tile wasn't layed properly and blamed my and my husband. Said we selected the wrong kind of tiles and "no body uses tile like that around fire places"... and the wife is supposed to be a designer? Let me explain the tile work... not only did they not match up the tiles all the way around, but the grout lines are very uneven, some tiles are pushed in more than others... and then they didn't even seal and caulk when they were done. When we gave them an opportunity to fix their bad work the only options we were give were for us to pay them to do that part of the work again ($300) and we would also have to buy the "proper tiling"... I told them I no longer wanted them working on it and just wanted them to replace 3 sheets of the tiles I purchased so I could get someone else to correct the problem (they were the tiles with mesh on the back). Each sheet was $14.98 + tax... I paid over $5000 for this project and was asking for a refund of approximately $47.64. The husband got absolutely furious at my husband and refused stating they would meet us half way and cover only 2 sheets. My husband agreed because it just wanted it all over... so we later received a check to $28 and then in the memo section on the check they note that refund was due to "error of owner". I have included a picture of a section of the tile work we were unhappy with. It is not very clear but basically they cut the tile work and did not line up the sections... but yet it was "our fault" because we bought the "wrong tile". That makes no sense to me as it relates to laying tile. > > In summary, I would NEVER recommend a business like this to anyone as they are unprofessional, lack customer service, and are not willing to fix their F-ups! I believe they are a start up... YOU WILL NEVER BE TRULY SUCCESSFULLY IF YOU CONTINUE TO TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS! > > STAY AWAY! **Comment from Uprising Builders, LLC:** > I am sorry that you feel unsatisfied with the work we performed in your family room. We've communicated with you and your husband throughout the entire process and came to a mutual agreement, as stated in the Contract Agreement, section VIII Conflict Resolution. > > Please know we completed your project as agreed and signed and went beyond by including a few of your request free of charge. We are a small business and do everything possible to satisfy our customers. Unfortunately we could not continue to provide you with services free of charge without a Change Order and of course additional fees, also included in the Contract. > > We designed and installed a beautiful built-in entertainment center unit worth well over $10,000, which has completely transformed the look of the family room. I've included a before, in progress and after picture for your convenience as well as the drawing we created. If you have any questions feel free to contact us at any time. We hope you continue to enjoy the built-ins and wish you well! **★★★★★ — jn3fer, Dec. 2015** > A few years ago, I bought a house in DC. Right from the moment I walked it, I was excited about the design and the attention to detail that the team had put in to creating this space that came to be mine for 8 years. It was clearly a labor of love and I was the lucky recipient. Moses and Stephen worked on the layout to make it flow but still keep some privacy from the street. They developed a color scheme that was soothing and versitile. And they applied accents and special touches such as knobs in the kitchen and light fixtures and even a stained glass window that gave my home such character. The quality of workmanship such as the custom built cabinets in the kitchen was wonderful. I would highly recommend Uprising to help you create your next dream home. **Comment from Uprising Builders, LLC:** > Thank you for your appreciation of our work and for proving such a heartfelt review. It's always the people who appreciate what we do that make the workmanship all worth while. Thank you for making it worth while.
