Most homeowners don’t just want a contractor. They want someone they can trust, someone who tells them the truth, shows up when they say they will, and actually cares about how the project turns out. That’s the kind of company Uprite Plus was built to be.
We exist for the homeowner who has heard enough horror stories. The one who’s been burned before, or watched a neighbor get burned, and refuses to go through that. The one who has high standards, values their home, and wants a builder they never have to chase down. After 43 years, that’s still exactly who we show up for every single day.
Tom Marr got into construction the way most great builders do not, not because of a business plan, but because he loved the work.
Over four decades ago, Tom started building and renovating homes across Long Island. No shortcuts. No sugarcoating. Just honest craftsmanship, straight communication, and a relentless commitment to leaving every client happy.
Word spread the way it always does when someone does things right through referrals, through neighbors, through the clients who called back ten years later and asked for Tom by name. Uprite Plus grew not through advertising, but through reputation.
Today, that same foundation is still what drives the company. Tom is still personally involved. The same values are still in place. And the clients, many of whom have been working with Tom for 30 to 40 years, are still calling.
That’s not just a track record. That’s a way of doing business.
Long Island has no shortage of contractors. So why do clients keep coming back to us and sending their friends? It comes down to a few things that sound simple but are surprisingly rare:
Not a voicemail. Not a callback in two days. A real person, in real time.
Not a supervisor who swings by twice a week, a dedicated manager, on-site all day, coordinating everything so you don’t have to.
At our Port Jefferson Station office, you can walk in and physically see and touch your material options, roofing, siding, stone, tile, and wood, before a single decision is finalized. Most contractors hand you a catalog. We hand you an experience.
When clients need to visit a tile store, a kitchen showroom, or a flooring supplier, Tom shows up. He spends hours helping you make the right selections. It’s not something you’d expect from a contractor with 43 years in the business. That’s exactly why we do it.
Four decades of experience mean we’ve seen every challenge, every complication, and every corner a contractor can cut. We know what good looks like because we’ve built it, again and again.
Numbers are easy to print. Ours are backed up by the clients who keep calling.
“I’ve been in this business for 43 years. I can walk into any store with my head up high, run into past clients, and it’s always a hug, never a headache. That’s the measure I care about.” – Tom Marr, Founder.
Uprite Plus was founded by Tom Marr in 1981, giving us over 43 years of continuous operation in the Long Island and New York construction market.
Yes completely. Tom personally meets with new clients, walks job sites, and stays reachable throughout every active project.
Our office, showroom, and warehouses are based in Port Jefferson Station, New York. We serve clients across Manhattan, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Southampton, Sagaponack, East Hampton, Amagansett, and Montauk.
A home project is a significant decision, and the relationship you have with your builder matters just as much as the blueprint. We’d love to have a conversation, see the space, and hear what you’re envisioning.
