I've been working with the ladies at Upchurch for some years now and can't say anything but great things about their team. Prompt communication, easy quotes, and will do their best for fast deliveries.

I have done business with Upchurch Kimbrough for years and have always known that I am going to get exactly what I planned on when I order with them, but lately I have really started to see them as a partner in my business. I'm grateful for companies the help they have given me in my business and plan to continue using them for upcoming brick and/or stone orders that come my way. Thank you!

Profiling at its best! Receptionist assumed that I just needed a few bricks for MY house. Because surely I'M NOT A BUILDER!!! She was happy to send me on my way with info for businesses that sell "a few bricks." Nothing Special about Upchurch because At The End Of They Day they are selling bricks for Brick Manufactures. They were recommended but I'll won't do business with those who profile their customers!!!

Today was my worst experience at UPCHURCH KIMBROUGH COMPANY LOC 7401 WESTVIEW in Houston Texas. I walked in TO ORDER A DELIVERY FOR A JOB . When I get there there was no one to give us a sit for about 10 minutes. I could understand that if they were busy to take that much time before to give us a sit and to do the order . After that we have to call them and ask for our order. The worst part of this was to come with an attitude to tell me that i need to ghet out of ther place and that is no bussnies for me ,i think because i'm from from another country ,they trasm my staf out the door ,wawwww .
