HandymanFinding the contractor shouldn't be the hardest part of the job.
You know what you want built. What you can't find is someone who calls back, prices it straight, and is still standing behind it two years later. That is the whole reason UpKeep exists.
A company that answers the phone.
Voicemail is where projects go to die. Estimates get scheduled the week you call, and you hear from Charles directly.
A written estimate you can keep.
Every estimate is a link you can save, print and share. Approved, it becomes the contract. Signed, it becomes your invoices, and you have access to all of it for life.
Built like we'll be back to see it.
Footings below frost, flashing done right, Owens Corning on the roof. The work carries a two-year satisfaction guarantee and materials carry their manufacturer warranty.
One crew for the whole property.
Residential and commercial. From the dirt work under the slab to the ceiling fan on the porch, it's the same people on the same estimate.

What the neighbors say.
We had two projects that we wanted to get done for our home and were very impressed with Charles from the very first time we met him. Professional, thorough, very reasonably priced, and high quality work. He is easy to work with and remained transparent with us during the entire process. We highly recommend him.
Teresa SGoogle reviewNeeded someone to come out and spread 40 ton of recycled asphalt for my driveway. Charles gave me a quote, got right back from vacation and took good care of my need! Will be using Charles for all of my future work around and inside my house.
Ray CopleyGoogle reviewMy husband and I woke up to no water during the recent ice storm. My husband reached out to Charles and by the next morning he had a plumber to the rescue! Upkeep Properties is a great company to have on hand, they are prompt and professional.
Patricia StarkeyGoogle reviewCharles and his partner took great care of our store with the snow storm. People kept trying to overcharge us and he took care of us at a reasonable and affordable rate. Thank you my friend.
Tom WingGoogle reviewUpKeep Properties built us a new deck/porch attached to our house. Charles was great to communicate with, listened to our requests, and helped make our dream a reality. The work is fantastic!
Melissa GreulichGoogle reviewUpkeep Properties assembled a 11 x 14 gazebo in my back yard and did a phenomenal job! It was 90+ degrees during the 2 days they were here, but they never complained. They asked questions as they went along to ensure they met all of my expectations.
Bobbie McDonaldGoogle reviewCharles has done work for me and it was nothing short of near perfect! Very reasonable, high quality and communicates better than any contractor I've worked with. I VERY HIGHLY recommend!
Daniel LondonGoogle reviewThey came in and remodeled our new house. Charles and his crew went above and beyond. Very pleased.
Karen GoodmanGoogle reviewWe highly recommend Upkeep Properties and Charles Goodman for any project. They did a great job with our plumbing projects! First class service!

If something we built isn't right, we come back and make it right. Two full years, in writing.
Veterans, active military and first responders get ten percent off every estimate. Fort Knox families, this means you.
Savable, printable links that turn into your contract and invoices. Even if we deleted it, you'd still have it.
Barns, remodels and roofs can be financed on qualifying projects. Ask when you request your estimate.
