Stockton · Tooele County
5-star rated by Tooele County homeowners. Locally owned by Danny & Trayson.

We know what you are really worried about
After doing this out here for 20 years, we can almost guess what is on your mind before you say it. The people in Stockton who call us are nervous about the same handful of things. Here is what we hear, and exactly how we handle each one.
That fear is earned. Most of the horror stories out here start with a low bid and a pile of change orders. We put one honest, itemized price in writing before we start, and it does not move unless you change the plan.
A bad addition screams addition. We match the roofline, the siding, and the trim so the new space looks like it was always part of the house, inside and out.
We pull the permit, handle the inspections, and build it to code, so it is done right and it will not come back to bite you when you sell.
We seal the work off from the rest of the house, keep the dust down, give you a real schedule, and keep the job moving so you get your home back.
You have seen the half-finished jobs where the crew left to chase the next check. We are local, we finish what we start, and Danny and Trayson are on your job, not off starting three others.
What a home addition includes
You get one team for the whole addition, so nothing falls through the cracks between trades.
We lay out the new space, pull the Tooele County building permit, and schedule every inspection so it is legal and done right.
We pour the footing and foundation, then frame the new walls and roof so the addition is solid and built to last.
We tie the new roof into the old one and match the siding, trim, and windows so the addition looks like it was always there.
Outlets, lighting, heat, and rough-in for a new bathroom, laundry, or wet bar, all tied cleanly into your home.
Insulated and sealed for our cold Tooele winters, then drywall, texture, and paint that matches the rest of the house.
Luxury vinyl plank, carpet, tile, trim, and doors, finished to feel like it was part of the home from day one.
Our specialty
Your family has outgrown the house, but you love your street and your low mortgage rate. An addition gives you the extra bedroom, bathroom, or office you need, without the cost and upheaval of buying a bigger home.
Why an addition
Most Tooele County families who want more space are weighing these three. Here is the honest comparison.
| Build an addition | Finish the basement | Move to a bigger home | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per square foot | High | Lowest | Highest |
| Timeline | Several months | A few weeks | Months, plus a move |
| Adds bedrooms and a bath | Yes, on your main floor | Yes | Maybe |
| Keeps your home and rate | Yes | Yes | No |
| Disruption to your life | Some, mostly outside | Low, it stays downstairs | Very high |

Local addition experts
Stockton is a small, historic town a few miles south of Tooele, tucked against the mountains near Rush Lake. It has a quiet, small-town feel, and a lot of families here love where they live and do not want to move just to get one more room. An addition lets them stay put and get the space they need, whether that is a new bedroom, a bathroom, or a bigger family room.
We pull the permit and schedule the inspections ourselves, and we build to code. We match the new roofline, siding, and trim to the existing house so it does not look tacked on. Stockton is a short drive south for us. You are not handed off to a salesman here. You get Danny and Trayson, the two owners who are actually on your job.
One good thing about building in Stockton is the lots. Homes here sit on bigger pieces of ground than you find over the mountains in the Salt Lake valley, so there is usually real room to add on without crowding the property line or losing the whole yard. That means we can build out instead of up in a lot of cases, which is simpler, faster, and easier to live with while the work is going on.
Most people in Stockton are here on purpose. It is quiet, it is a short commute to Tooele and down into the Salt Lake valley, and homes do not turn over often. When a growing family runs out of space, the last thing they want is to give all that up and start over somewhere else. An addition lets you stay on the same street and get the extra bedroom, the bigger kitchen, or the primary suite you actually need.
A share of Stockton's houses go back to the town's mining years, and adding on to an older home takes some care. The framing, the foundation, and the rooflines are not always square or standard. We tie the new structure into the old one properly and match the siding, trim, and roof pitch so the addition reads as part of the house and not something bolted on the side.

Upterra Builders is not a big company with a sales office. Danny and Trayson run the jobs themselves, so the people who quote your project are the same people who finish it.
Danny and Trayson quote the work and stay on the job. No handoff to a project manager you have never met.
You get a real written estimate before the work starts. If the budget and the plan do not match, we tell you up front.
We work in Tooele, Stansbury Park, Grantsville, Erda, Stockton, and nearby. We know the local permit process.
Clean framing, straight tile, and a crew that treats your home like it is theirs. Homeowners tell us so.
