Welcome to Upstate N.Y. Home Renovations, LLC! I have 30 years of experience! No job is too big, or too small! I love what I do and provide 100 percent customer service! Give me a call right now and I promise you will not be disappointed!
"I hired Upstate to replace my kitchen cabinets, install a new dishwasher (the house did not have one before), and install a new microwave above my oven. George (the owner of the company) removed my old cabinets, and installed everything in only a week. I was impressed with how quickly he got it done. His workmanship is top notch too, so I could not be happier with how beautiful my kitchen looks. The dishwasher and microwave also work flawlessly. The best part is that I did not break the bank for this project. In fact, I was quoted $4k less than I was expecting. I would definitely hire Upstate again, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone with quality workmanship that will complete a job quickly and for a very fair price."

2016-2020 Super Service Winners! Owner Duane Carr has worked in the HVAC industry since graduating from Thaddeus Stevens State College of Technology in 1997. Duane started Prime Heating and Air Conditioning to provide Syracuse and the CNY Region with a local, independently owned HVAC company that earns the trust of its customers by doing quality work at reasonable prices. With Duane's commitment to family and community, he's built his business to include his two brothers, Neal and Eric, to provide outstanding service and local community support.
"I called and my timing must have been perfect. 2 technicians showed up 30 minutes later. They put on shoe covers which I appreciate. They opened up the unit and checked the flame and spark. That must have been enough since the unit started working. They checked to make sure the propane was flowing and cleaned the condensation pan. Within 30 minutes after arriving, they were done. I plan to have them come back in a couple of months to maintain the ductless splits for this summer. What they charge for the service is very reasonable given that I had contacted a competitor and received a quote that more than 2x what I paid."

"We originally reached out to Nick based on a referral. As new homeowners, it was important for us to find someone that we felt we could trust, and we found that to always be the case with Nick and his team. They made the entire process far easier than we ever imagined a kitchen remodel could be. Nick is professional, organized, communicative, honest, and went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with every element of the project. We LOVE our new kitchen and felt that the team really delivered the highest quality services while being very reasonably priced compared to other quotes that we received. We will be reaching out to Nick for other home projects in the future and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!"

"This was amazing! I had no idea this service existed. After searching and contacting various repair places for my washer, this was the most cost effective option. I figured if it didn't work, my machine is old and I would be out $40, not the $100+ to have a tech come out and just diagnose the problem. I am pretty handy and my washer is old anyway, so if it is broken, I have to get a new one anyway. My tech, Steve, was great! He predicted what was wrong after listening to the machine, calmly walked me through dismantling the machine and when we got down to the motor, he was right! He sent me a link to the part I would need, and let me know to contact them again if I needed help installing it. My machine works even better than before it broke, its beautifully quiet and efficient. I will definitely be saving this company for any future repairs on appliances I may need. The service was $40 + the part cost, which was about $8."

Rainwater recycling systems reliably provide service for 15 to 30 years. If you opt for high‑quality tanks made from fiberglass or concrete, you can extend their operational life even further. On the other hand, rain barrels typically last no more than 15 years because exposure to UV rays and harsh weather conditions degrades their material over time. Knowing this difference can help you choose the right system for your long‑term water collection needs.
Contractors install a cistern system by first selecting the method that matches your site's requirements. For above‑ground installations, they position the cistern beneath your downspout to capture direct runoff. For underground installations, they excavate the area, position and route the cistern for water distribution, and then seamlessly connect it to your home's plumbing. A final inspection confirms that the system delivers water efficiently for both irrigation and household use.
A cistern functions by gathering rainwater from roof runoff via gutters and downspouts or from water seeping naturally into the ground. It stores the collected water in a durable tank that supplies water for irrigation, household plumbing, and other applications. Integrated filtration and distribution systems then ensure that the stored water is delivered safely and efficiently for various uses.
You can store rainwater as long as the water quality is maintained and the storage container remains intact. When used for landscape irrigation, your stored water remains safe as long as you prevent algae growth through regular cleaning. For potable use, proper treatment and durable, non-degradable containers can secure the water indefinitely. This approach ensures that your stored water remains usable until it's replenished by new rainfall.
The amount of rainwater you can collect depends on the size of your collection surface and the rainfall intensity. For every inch of rain on a 1,000‑square‑foot roof, you can collect between 550 and 630 gallons of water. If your roof is this size and you receive half an inch of rain, your system can produce an average of 225 gallons.
Yes, harvesting rainwater is cost‑effective because it provides you with continuous access to water without recurring expenses. While there's an initial investment, you'll offset that cost through long‑term savings on your water bills. With the stored water supporting your landscape irrigation, household water needs, and even domestic uses with proper treatment, this efficient system enhances your home's sustainability and reduces your utility costs.
