Upstate Remodel

Description of Work: install a wood stove

Description of Work: 6 to 7 golf clubs cubbies installed in my garage along with shelving for shoes etc.

Description of Work: David came out as soon as two days after looking at our porch and stairs and started the work. He ripped out the old porch/stairs and replaced it with trex. He did a wonderful job and now the porch/stairs look great and are much more secure and stable. He also hung a chandelier in the foyer and two outdoor lights all for a very reasonable price and high quality work. He is now working on my kitchen remodel. I highly recommend him for any kind of jobs, big or small.

Description of Work: David had done good work for us before on a smaller job, so we decided to use him again for a complete bathroom remodel. We live in an older house in the North Main area, and we wanted to completely upgrade and modernize our bathroom. The work performed included: 1) Completely demolishing the existing bathroom down to the bare studs and installing a new subfloor. 2) Removing the existing tub and replacing it with a customized shower system (we did not replace the tub.) 3) Laying porcelain tile on the floor and walls of the shower up to the shower ceiling. 4) Incorporating a customized porcelain tile design on the main shower wall. 5) Installing Travertine tiles on the bathroom walls until mid wall height. 6) Installing electrical outlets to code, new vanity wiring, vanity lighting, and an exhaust fan/light combo. 7) Hanging new Sheetrock on the ceiling and walls. 8) Designing and building a custom wood vanity. 9) Painting of all Sheetrock walls and the ceiling.

Description of Work: Completely re-did the master bath shower, from the studs & subfloor. It had been poorly installed & had resultant damage.

Description of Work: This Company did not perform any work for me since communication was an issue.

Description of Work: Upstate Remodeling (i.e. David Hammond) tiled our kitchen walls. He worked for half a day with the tiles we had purchased (and they were expensive) before declaring them defective and unusable. He took us to Lowes where he helped decide which tiles to buy and how they would be used. In short, David created the plan and executed it. The work is outstanding and we are thrilled with the final look. This is the third job David has done for us (kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors and drawer fronts were done a couple of months ago). I enthusiastically recommend David for almost any type of remodeling you are doing. His artistic touches really make a difference. I doubt that there is any kind of construction work he cannot do.

Description of Work: David came out to give us an estimate. No work performed yet.

Description of Work: David tore out an existing gas log fire place with brick hearth and wood mantel and replaced it with a custom builtin entertainment unit. We picked out a picture of a unit we liked and David built it almost identical to the picture. He is detail oriented and offers his professional suggestions. We are extremely happy with his work. We wanted the unit to look substantial without being obtrusive. He did a great job.

Description of Work: We hired David Hammond of Piedmont Remodel to floor an unfinished storage area above the tray ceiling in our family room that would become an art/sewing space. The area consisted of an existing raised platform (formed by the upper part of the trey ceiling below it) and an 18-inch step down from the platform that extended 2-feet from the platform edge to the wall joists around the perimeter of the space (corresponding to the lower part of the trey ceiling beneath). David added additional joist support all around the perimeter of the space (16' x 17' rectangle). He then laid a thick plywood subfloor over the entire space, covering the platform and extending to the walls, and then laid a bamboo floor over that with baseboard trim. Under each of the three windows he created spring-supported doors (same bamboo used in the project) that are flush with the floor with pretty recessed pulls, that lift up to reveal between-joist storage for infrequently used items. He also built a step to ease access to the space from the entrance (in a bedroom) and trimmed out an adjacent under-stair storage space that was unattractive.

Description of Work: This for laminate and tile installation.

Description of Work: I hired Upstate Remodel to replace a single patio door on an existing sunroom with a set of French doors. The job involved reframing an existing wall in order to be able to incorporate standard 6 foot French doors, removing an existing window, replacing the interior paneling, and replacing the exterior siding. Upon completion of the work, all scrap material was hauled away, and the work site was properly cleaned.

Description of Work: David re-did our stairs and upper landing by removing old carpet, stairs and railings and installing new hardwood stairs and flooring. This included cutting, staining and finishing of all stair plates and rails as well as installing the new hardwood floor in the upstairs landing and hallway.

Description of Work: David removed and rebuilt water damaged cabinets in my kitchen. In addition, he repainted the frames of all the cabinets in the kitchen and added crown molding. He also installed a floating bamboo floor. During the project, it was determined that the existing dishwasher was too tall to fit under the cabinets with the new flooring, and he helped install a new one.

Description of Work: David Hammond completed two jobs for us. Job #1: Cost- $1700 David replaced a patio door with a new window, and then cut through our kitchen wall leading out to our patio and installed a sliding glass door. This wall was a load bearing wall, so in reinforced the header and studded around the sliding glass door very well. David also moved electrical switches and sockets for us. David's drywall work is some of the best I've have seen. He takes great care to detail. He goes above and beyond in all that he does. He cleans up after his work- really he cleans as he is working. David is honest and trustworthy, a good Christian man, and he will do what he says he will do. The estimate was $1700.00 and that was the completed price. Job#2: Cost- $6,700 We had a crack above our fireplace and the sheetrock was coming loose where it was taped. David opened it up to find rot behind the wall. Outside around our fireplace he also found rot and said that it was pretty bad. We were going on vacation, so David said he would tear out the wall, remove all the rotted wood, rebuild the wall, box in the fireplace, drywall, paint, retexture the ceiling. We trusted David to be in our house while we were gone. He called us everyday and keep us updated. The flashing around the fireplace was not done right from the beginning, and water had been leaking into the walls who knows for how long. He triple flashed around the chimney, and rebuilt the box around the fireplace. He took pictures of everything, and there were giant holes rotted into the walls, and the header above the fireplace was crumbling and black. When we got home from vacation, we had a new wall. David even painted the rest of the living room to match. That's going above and beyond. Everything was clean and our furniture was placed back. David ran into a lot more than than he had anticipated, but he didn't raise the cost. David saved our house. There are other projects we want David to do later. We will be calling David back. He does a great job and goes above and beyond in all he does.

Description of Work: I made the appt about a week in advance for 9:00a.m. and confirmed it with David on 6/6, a day before the appt. Insured he had correct directions. I arrived a few minutes before 9:00a.m. and when he had not arrived by 9:30a.m., I called him and he was in Simpsonville and said he would drive right over. He said he'd been in the mountains all weekend and had become engaged to be married, so I cut him a little slack. I offered to pay for the gas he used to get the Moore, and he declined but said he appreciated the offer. David and I were at the house for at least two hours and he did a thorough inventory of what would have to be done, including gutting the interior. He gave freely of his time and had some great ideas and I believe he would do a lovely job but the price of $40,000 (and he didn't know if he was going to uncover any problems that would increase the cost) I thought too expensive for my budget and that was with me paying someone else to put a new roof on. Another $5,000 at least. I decided not to buy the house.

Description of Work: David is just about completed with a project that started March 21, 2011. This is what he did: Demo the master bed/bath/closet. Got rid of a skylight in master bath and repaired roof. Drywalled all rooms, painted all rooms, installed hardwood red oak flooring in Master bedroom. Installed tile walls in shower, using the ditra system making it waterproof. Installed tile flooring using the ditra system. Put up crown moulding/casing and base trim in both rooms. He is installing shelving in the linen closet. Very professional job.

Description of Work: I used Upstate Remodel to get an estimate. They quoted me $1900 two weeks ago. I wanted to get the cabinets done.

Description of Work: David an exceptional carpenter. Just the qualities that we were hoping to find for our project, he is a perfectionist, an artist, a craftsman, and exemplary of his trade. David demolished our existing stairway to the second floor. This involved removing just the correct amount of plasterboard to correspond with the design of the new build. He crafted an open staircase with oak hand rails, white spindles and a center newel that is truly a showpiece. We can't speak highly enough about our remodeling experience with Upstate Remodeling. He took our ideas and created exactly what we wanted and more! He also fabricated some cabinets for our kitchen make-over

Description of Work: I got an estimate from Upstate Remodel, but we have not got the work done yet. I got this quote a week ago for kitchen remodeling. They quoted me $6000.

Description of Work: Removed carpet, fixed a lot of squeaks in the subfloor, installed underlayment and engineered bamboo floating floors, removed, then replaced baseboards, redid stair railing including installing new wrought iron balusters and reinforcing loose newell.

Description of Work: He upgraded our living room. He knocked down a carrying wall, put a beam up in it's place. Gutted out the entire living room. Put new sheetrock up on all walls and new ceilings. Prepared walls for paint. Prepared flooring for hardwood floors. Painted the entire room and trim. Put up crown molding, installed, sanded and poly'd the hardwood floors. Really came out great!

Description of Work: David Hammond was responsive and gave a competitve quote for his services. I sold the home in question on an "as is" basis, so I did not need his services. I was impressed with his responsiveness.
