Expert Home building in Chelan, WA

Building a custom home in Chelan means working with land and climate that demand real local knowledge. Chelan sits east of the Cascades, where hot summers and cold winters create freeze-thaw cycles that affect foundation depth, insulation choices, and exterior finishes. Sloped hillside lots, glacial soils, and lakefront parcels each call for different site prep and structural approaches. Upland Builders is a family-owned custom home builder serving Chelan and the greater Wenatchee Valley. We manage the full build process, from site evaluation and design coordination to framing, systems installation, and final walkthrough. Our passion is creating designer-level homes tailored to your style, not a template. Whether you are building on a hillside lot with panoramic lake views or a flat parcel closer to town, we match the build plan to what the land and your vision require. Reach out to start planning your custom home in Chelan.

My company recently did some work for Riley on one of his projects. He was professional and easy to communicate with. Look forward to working on future projects together.

Upland Builders came out to take care of a difficult project on our house. Riley was extremely professional and he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the work he did. It turned out perfect! I've dealt with many contractors in the past and this was hands down the best experience I've had. I highly recommend Upland Builders!

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.

Riley did such amazing work that went well beyond our expectations. His attention to detail, patience, and willingness to take our input and requests for the custom features came together fantastically! Exactly what we wanted, with a much better quality than we expected!
