Expert Custom home building in Chelan, WA

Custom home building in Chelan means working with land that has its own demands. Chelan sits east of the Cascades, where hot, dry summers and cold winters create wide temperature swings. Freeze-thaw cycles stress foundations, and many lots come with slopes, rocky soil, or lakefront setback requirements. A home built here needs to be planned around those realities from day one. Upland Builders is a family-owned team that treats every custom home as a creative project, not a production unit. We work with you to shape a layout and finish level that reflects your personal style, whether you are building a primary residence in Chelan, a family home in Cashmere, or a retreat near Leavenworth. From site planning on a hillside parcel to designer-level interior selections, we carry the vision through every phase. If you are ready to build in Chelan or anywhere across the Wenatchee Valley, call us to talk through your lot and your goals.

Upland Builders is incredible . The owner, Riley is so easy to work with. He listens to what I need. He makes suggestions if I am not sure. He gives the pros and cons and then lets me decide. His skill and his attention to detail are outstanding. Hands down a very good contractor. It is a pleasure working with him.

We were very happy with the end result of our double bathroom remodel. We enjoyed working with Riley and his team. They were always on time, cleanly, and pleasant to be around. Riley brings a sense of calm to what can often be a very overwhelming and hectic process.
