This is an updated review. We were so pleased with everything done by the Urban Equity team that we had them do some things we thought we could do on our own. In the future., we will start with UE! We are so impressed with everything they did. You will be pleased with their finished product.

Chas is a pro. Whenever I have called him to deal with anything on our property he is there quickly and efficiently. His builds are innovative and inspired. I would recommend anyone who is building a custom home to view his homes and see just how luxurious and magnificent they are. He's a pro!

You can't go wrong with Urban Equity Builders! Always building the most beautiful homes! Chas has the best style and an eye for perfection! Anytime I call he is on top of it! No matter what I need he is there ASAP and he gives me a straight forward quote right from the get go so there's no hidden fees and extras at the end. I appreciate his honesty. And I love his attention to detail! Couldn't be happier working with anyone else. Thank you for all you do Chas! I can't wait to see what kind of beautiful build you create next! If you are looking to build he is your guy! Best in the biz!

We hired Urban Equity Builders to remodel our kitchen, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Our kitchen had a lot of brick surrounding the oven and cabinets, which made the space feel smaller and darker. The team did an incredible job removing all of that and completely opening up the area. Now, our kitchen looks bigger, brighter, beautiful.

From start to finish, Chaz and his team professional, detail-oriented, and communicative. They stuck to the timeline, kept the workspace clean, and ensured every aspect of the remodel was completed with high-quality craftsmanship. ... worth noting, they handled everything ; demolition, construction, installation, electrical, and plumbing. Complete one stop shop for us.

Highly recommended

I needed a driveway done at our house in Windsor because I had a new teen driver and now needed an extra parking space. I contacted owner Charles and he had the driveway done within a week for a reasonable price. Very happy with the business and the turnout of the driveway and how it matched our existing driveway perfect. I would recommend him to anyone Looking for a similar service.

It is interesting that Urban Equity Builders is just now acknowledging these reviews from years ago.
Contacting the Contractors State Licensing Board was the correct thing to do. After hearing all the facts, the cslb arranged the arbitration hearing specifically because of the issues pertaining to this build. The arbitration judge, appointed by the cslb, found that Urban Equity Builders was negligent. The judge awarded the max amount available under the law. Truthfully, the judge awarded more than the maximum allowable amount. Urban Equity Builders chose to only pay the minimum amount and issued that check the day before the cslb would revoke their license for failing to do so.
Urban Equity Builders was NOT the only contractor willing to do the work within the specified budget. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of believing what Urban Equity Builders promised and signed the contract.
Regarding Urban Equity Builders comment that they do not know who some of the reviewers are. I am sure that Urban Equity Builders does not recognize the homes in the pictures provided in the ""unknown"" reviews, right? Maybe some reviewers are concerned about lawfare?
The comment Urban Equity Builders made on the SB review is comical. SB was the lead contact at the architectural firm that designed the structure which Urban Equity Builders agreed to build. SB was, and still is, an invaluable resource when it involves house remodels. rebuilds, or helping the community as a whole. In my opinion, the fact that Urban Equity Builders stated that someone who is the main contact at the architectural firm is overly concerned, or overly involved, demonstrates Urban Equity Builders lack of integrity or common sense. I suppose Urban Equity Builders does not want anyone scrutinizing their work.
Yes, that structure was sold shortly after I spent well over tens of thousands of additional dollars correcting the multiple remaining issues and inadequacies. I sold it because I never felt like it was ""home"" as is claimed. It was a constant reminder of the nightmare that Urban Equity Builders created, which I had to live with every day while I was residing in it.
Please do your due diligence when hiring contractors. Don't get burned twice.

Awesome job remodeling our bathroom. They finished within the time they gave me, helped us secure all the materials we needed, and just did a fantastic job. My mother is now comfortable staying at our house now that she feels we have a clean space for her lol. Thank you UEB!

First of all, I will say Charles Olpp and his amazing crew took such good care of us, they not only did the landscape of our dreams but they had an even bigger vision and I can't thank them enough for bringing it to life.

Amanda that gave such a great review is the owners business partner and girlfriend so take that in to account when reading her review. Urban equity did shoddy work on my house and never actually finished. We spent almost 2 years waiting for a final and living on a temporary occupancy permit. We couldn't get any response until the city got involved and took action against them for abandoning jobs. I'm glad to be rid of them even if they didn't finish. The stress of dealing with Chas was not worth trying to hold them to the contract.
