Expert Home building in Chelan, WA

Building a custom home in Chelan means working with land that demands real local knowledge. Sloped hillside lots, glacial soils, and lakefront parcels each call for different site prep and structural approaches. Chelan's east-of-the-Cascades climate brings wide temperature swings, freeze-thaw stress on foundations, and hot, dry summers that shape every build decision from framing to exterior finishes. Upland Builders is a family-owned construction company serving the greater Wenatchee Valley. We bring designer-level thinking to every home we build, from early concept through final selections. Whether your lot sits above Lake Chelan, along the valley floor near Wenatchee, or out toward Leavenworth or Cashmere, we plan the build around your specific site and your personal style. Our goal is simple: turn your vision into a home that performs well in this climate and reflects exactly what you had in mind. Contact us to talk through your lot and your plans.

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.
