We build extraordinary custom homes with incomparable attention to detail.

Co-founders Ryan Ward and Laurie Melis credit their success to hard work and humble beginnings.  Both Red Seal Certified Carpenters by trade, and still wearing their toolbelts on site after a combination of 30+ years means that no detail is overlooked throughout the building process.  

Building luxury homes for discerning clientele since 2006 has earned Upward Elements a reputation for superior craftsmanship.  We work alongside the city’s top architects, engineers, and designers with a passion for the building process.  We take pride in a high level of communication, transparency, and unsurpassed dedication to your project.  Get in touch if you want to experience firsthand the level of quality and commitment the Upward Elements team can offer for the entire home building process. 

Why Us?

Our primary source of new business is from referrals.  We let our work speak for itself, and believe that there is no better way to attract the highest quality tradespeople in the construction industry.  Our skilled team of journeymen carpenters and apprentices takes pride in their work and have a unsurpassed dedication to quality.

With over 60 projects successfully completed since inception in 2006, we have the experience, the knowledge, and a hands-on approach like no other. 

 
 
 
Ryan and Laurie showed exemplary management skills with their employees and a meticulous attention to detail. Their work is high quality, on time, and I would not hesitate to contact them first for any future projects.
