About this company
UpRight Restoration Services operates out of Lander, Wyoming, serving Riverton and the broader Fremont County area. They started as a construction company in 2006, then added water damage restoration in 2009. Mold remediation makes up about 20% of their work. Their primary identity is water damage restoration, not mold.
Seth Case holds a Master Water Restorer credential through the IICRC, and the firm maintains IICRC Certified Firm status. They follow the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation and employ IICRC-trained Applied Microbial Remediation technicians. They collect samples and send them to a third-party lab for species identification and viability testing. They also do fire and smoke restoration, carpet cleaning, and small construction projects like decks and fences when their schedule allows.
With 15 Google reviews and a 4.8-star rating, the review volume is low but the rating is strong for a company in a rural Wyoming market. Most reviewers mention honesty and trustworthiness unprompted.

Review consensus
Multiple reviewers call out honesty and trustworthiness without prompting. Debbie G. described the team as high quality people who take pride in their work after a hot water heater leak. Dewey S. praised their communication, honesty, and diligence on winter damage repairs. Kristi Petersen highlighted prompt emergency water damage response and the crew saving her tile floor. WyoGun Guru noted the employee was friendly, answered questions, and hit the initial estimate exactly.
1 found across 15 total reviews at 4.8★. Rick Lechner gave 3 stars for mold remediation work. He said the estimate came in at $15,000-$20,000 but the final bill exceeded $28,000. He described the rate as over $1,000 per day and recommended holding the company to no more than 10% over bid. The owner responded that the initial figure was a rough approximation based on a limited visual walkthrough, that concealed damage expanded the scope, and that a third-party Indoor Environmental Professional validated the completed work. The owner also noted that pricing followed an industry-standard program. Rick Lechner is a Local Guide with 11 reviews, which adds credibility to his account.
With only one negative review in the dataset, there is no pattern to identify. The cost overrun complaint is a one-off. The owner's response was detailed and personalized rather than a template deflection, which suggests they engage with criticism directly.
No individual staff members are named by reviewers. Seth Case is referenced on the website as the Master Water Restorer but does not appear by name in any review.
The review record is thin at 15 total but consistently positive. The one cost complaint is worth taking seriously: get a written maximum before work begins, and ask what happens if hidden damage expands the scope. The owner's willingness to respond with specifics rather than a generic reply is a good sign.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest: the same company deciding you have a problem is the one getting paid to fix it. Ask for an independent test from a separate inspector before committing to remediation.
- The one recent negative review describes a cost overrun from a $15-20k estimate to a $28k final bill. The owner responded that the initial figure was a rough guess before walls were opened. Get a written scope with a not-to-exceed cap before work starts.
- Mold is only about 20% of their business. Water damage restoration is their core work. If your mold problem is not water-related, confirm they have experience with your specific situation.
- They are a small operation in rural Wyoming. During busy periods or multi-job weeks, response times and availability for non-emergency mold work could vary.
