I’m taking the time to leave this review because I was beyond pleased with the service. A lot of companies claim to be available 24/7, but when you call, no one answers. That wasn’t the case here—Uplift Restoration came through when I needed them most. They answered my call right away and gave me an accurate estimate of when they would arrive. They showed up promptly and got straight to work on my AC unit. What started as an AC issue also turned out to affect my electrical panel, and they were able to handle that as well by replacing the panel. What really stood out to me is that they truly know what they’re doing from start to finish. Their professionalism, knowledge, and efficiency were impressive. Within just a few hours, both my AC unit and panel were fully fixed.

We recently hired Uplift Restoration to install a new HVAC system in our home, and they exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, they provided one of the most competitive bids we received. What truly set them apart was how they handled unexpected architectural surprises behind the walls. Instead of getting frustrated, the team came up with smart, innovative solutions that kept the project on track and actually improved the final result. They installed everything exactly to specifications and went above and beyond by restructuring and repainting the affected walls. The area now looks cleaner and newer than it did before the project started! Their attention to detail was impressive — they cleaned up their work area thoroughly at the end of each day, which we really appreciated. Hamlet was fantastic throughout the entire process. He took the time to walk us through the new system, explaining every feature and making sure we understood how to use it properly. Even after the installation was complete, Hamlet has followed up with us for several months to ensure we’re fully satisfied with the system and the work. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of work, the professionalism of the team, and the outstanding customer service from Uplift Restoration. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC installation or any restoration work. They are true professionals who stand behind their work.
