I recently used Yancey Home Improvements to install a Jacuzzi shower. This experience resulted in one wrong thing after another happening and I would NOT recommend using them! …

We hired Yancey to replace our roof and replace our A/C with a new heat pump. After 30 day and no dates set for any of the work, and very little contact (had to fight tooth and nail to get answers) then all of a sudden being told we would …

Buyer beware! Brian came out to inspect my roof and give me an estimate. He offered a 20% discount if I booked then. He stated they had a in-house crew and needed to keep jobs booked. So I asked about dry rot. Brian said he didn’t see …

We hired Yancey for a large exterior renovation that included a new roof with solar, dry rot repair, new siding, and a full exterior paint. Because of the size and complexity, we chose Yancey expecting high-quality craftsmanship and better project management than smaller contractors could provide. Unfortunately, our experience did not match those expectations. The work was sloppy, and we had to repeatedly request corrections to mistakes as the project progressed. The construction team seemed focused on speed over accuracy, and communication with subcontractors was inconsistent. After completion of the roof and part of the dry rot repair, we decided to cancel the rest of the project due to poor quality. It took almost two months of repeated calls, emails, and texts before we were able to get a partial refund for the uncompleted work, minus a 15% cancellation fee. This added significant frustration to an already disappointing project. Summary of our experience with Yancey Construction: Cost: Higher than expected Budget: Over budget Quality: Poor—multiple errors requiring rework Timing: Delays caused by mistakes Subcontractor oversight: Limited and ineffective Communication & customer service: Responsive before payment, but poor afterward We ultimately hired a small local contractor to fix the mistakes and complete the job properly, on time, and on budget. Based on our experience, I would recommend exploring other contractors before moving forward with Yancey.

Would you allow this eyesore on your home? They installed the gutter drainpipe in a twisted manner on my home that i cannot recommend them.

For at least five miles while heading east on Highway 50 between Howe Avenue and Bradshaw Road on February 5, 2025, I personally observed and recorded on my dash camera this employee of Yancey Home Improvements, Inc., recklessly weave the company car he was driving across several lanes of traffic, without even signaling his intentions to surrounding drivers, while driving at least 80 mph in the 55 mph work zone clearly marked for everyone to see. I took this photo at the Bradshaw exit off Highway 50 as we were waiting to turn left onto Bradshaw. As you can see, the driver isn't even sitting in the car like an alert, responsible driver. Instead, he looks like he's laying back in the car playing a video game. If I was his boss, I'd be calling this employee into my office to answer for his misuse of company time and equipment to endanger both himself and other drivers.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the warranty re-do of our shower. After Costco washed their hands of us, Jacuzzi had Yancey assigned to do our shower. Cruz advocated for us to have Jacuzzi include a couple of upgrades to help alleviate the trauma/stress of having our shower ripped out for a second time due to no fault of ours. Cruz was very instrumental in getting the correct parts ordered & scheduled in a timely manner. They sent a great craftsman (Guillermo) to do the install & he did top notch quality work. We would recommend Yancy to anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom.

I chose Yancey for my reroof because of their business longevity. They've run into every situation imaginable and Brian addressed these concerns in the contract. Being told in advance is an explanation, being told after the fact is an excuse. They gave no excuses. The team working was always on time and did exceptional quality work with dry rot repair. The roof looks great and I expect it to work well for years to come.

Review for the quote experience with Brian Speaks - Brian came right on time and was very clear on my options as well as providing some money saving tips. We planned to try to wait to get the roof done but since the quote was $10K less than a competitor we could not say no. We are excited to get work started on our new roof! Thanks to Brian and the Yancey team for making the quote process as streamlined and easy as possible. Adding in that the actual install experience with PM Max and crew Leo and Mauricio went great. It was super fast and looks good. We are so happy we chose Yancey, the price was better than competitors and the work was great. Shout out to Jacquie for keeping us in the loop with rain rescheduling!
