Up2Date Remodeling LLC is a Worcester-based remodeling contractor at 70 James St. The company holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor licence (205227) under its own name, and the business is represented in customer reviews by work on kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and residential and commercial projects. The older customer history is mostly positive. In April 2023, one homeowner praised kitchen-counter work and bathroom remodeling and said they would use the company again. Another April 2023 review described a basement redesign that added a bathroom and adapted the space for a daycare, praising the work from paper design through finishing. A July 2023 reviewer was pleased with work by Kevin and his crew, while another customer described the service and execution as A1. The recent record is more concerning. In a May 2026 one-star review, a customer warned others about an experience with a basement renovation and said the project did not match how it had been represented at contracting. That recent account sits alongside the earlier positive reviews, so the difference in experiences is important to discuss directly rather than relying on the older praise alone. Up2Date may be a fit for a homeowner seeking kitchen or broader remodeling work who is prepared to confirm the details before signing. Ask who will manage the job day to day, who will perform the work, how the schedule is supported, and how changes or delays are handled. Request a written scope and timeline, verify the active HIC licence, and ask for current references for work comparable to your project.
I rarely write reviews, but in this case, I feel a responsibility to warn others about our experience with Up2date Remodeling so they can make a fully informed decision. We contracted with Up2date Remodeling for a basement renovation that the contract represented as a ~4-month project, supported by a reliable team. In reality, that representation did not materialize. The project was largely a one man show, managed by Kevin Lewis (who also goes by Sean, as we later learned), with subcontractors brought in intermittently rather than a consistent, coordinated team. Nadisha Lewis, his wife, represented herself as the owner of Up2date Remodeling. As the project progressed, performance deteriorated significantly. Multiple subcontractors, including the electrician, plumber, and tile specialists stopped coming to the job. We were later told by some of them that this was related to payment disputes on prior projects, with Kevin. This directly impacted our progress and left critical work incomplete. The original timeline was missed, followed by repeated delays with limited transparency. Communication became inconsistent, updates were difficult to obtain, and progress slowed to a near standstill. Work completed by Kevin later required rework due to quality concerns and lack of attention to detail. After approximately nine months, the contractor ceased work on the project entirely without resolution or completion. The site was left unfinished, and even tools and materials were abandoned. At that point, our basement was unusable, and the project remained incomplete for nearly a year, despite the majority of the contracted payment (approximately 90%) having already been made. Compounding the situation, the permitting had to be formally updated before we could engage a new contractor, resulting in additional months of delay before remediation work could even begin. This experience resulted in significant financial impact, extended disruption to our home, and considerable stress. Ultimately, we had to pursue legal steps to formally terminate the contract and move forward. Our interactions with Kevin & Nadisha Lewis did not reflect the level of professionalism, accountability, integrity or responsiveness we expected for a project of this scope. Trust and reliability are fundamental in construction, and in our experience, both were compromised. I strongly encourage anyone considering this company to conduct thorough due diligence, verify current subcontractor stability and ensure clear contractual protections are in place. Based on our experience, this is not a contractor we would recommend.
Great company to work with. I was very pleased with the Job Kevin and his crew did. I highly recommend.
I have utilized their services for my residential and commercial projects and I must say the service and execution is A1.
I LOVE THE WORK THEY DID ON MY KITCHEN COUNTER AND BATHROOM REMODELING WOULD DEFINITELY USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN FOR FURURE JOBS. THANKS UP2DATE
Up2date Remodeling LLC was contracted to remodel my basement by adding a bathroom and redesigning the space to make it accommodating for a daycare. The work was done with finesse from the paper design to the finishing. I was highly impressed with the work and the expertise of the team. I am contracting them for my future projects. They are highly recommended
