Homeowner Reviews
AI Review Snapshot
Generated by Modernize AI
Yancey Home Improvements is widely praised for clear communication and solid workmanship, with occasional pricing surprises and slower responsiveness.
Across the reviews, Yancey Home Improvements earns praise for punctual, professional teams, thorough estimates, clear explanations, and reliable project management—especially on roofing, remodels, and even solar work. Clients frequently credit long-standing trust, responsive quotes, fair pricing, and teams that clean up and communicate well. However, a handful report pricing surprises from change orders or additions, mismatches between expectations and final costs, and slower post-sale responsiveness. A notable safety concern and a few delayed or less consistent experiences remind buyers to verify scope, breakdowns, and monitoring of subcontractors. Overall, it's a strong, reputable choice when expectations are aligned.

I need a total bathroom remodel, and everyone at Yancey has been a delight to work with. All my questions have been answered, the choices of materials were abundant, and Scott guided us expertly through the process one step at a time. I would highly recommend them!

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!

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.

Tommy was very helpful in explaining the roofing process and itemizing the pricing. He was upfront and honest about policy and interpreting the contract for my mother and I. We are a house full of women and we are always worried about being taken advantage of price-wise but we were not treated that way. Thank you for the excellent service and stunning new roof!

Thomas helped me today while I was getting multiple bids, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When it was his turn, he took the time to start from the beginning and walk me through the company’s history, which really gave me peace of mind. He answered all my questions clearly and professionally. We came to an agreement, and I’m excited to be getting my new roof from such a trustworthy and professional company!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Yancey Home Improvements in Sacramento and especially Scott, who helped us remodel our master bathroom. From the very first time we met him, he was so honest, caring, and genuinely supportive of all our hopes for our dream bathroom.
As a veteran like my husband, Scott treated us like family, and that meant so much to us. He made this entire process feel easy and exciting, and when I saw the finished rendering of our bathroom, I was so overwhelmed with happiness that I was literally in tears—it was everything I dreamed of and more.
Being brand new to remodeling, I had so many questions and worries, but Scott explained every step so clearly and patiently. He gave us complete peace of mind and made this a truly special experience. We are so grateful and can’t recommend Yancey Home Improvements enough for anyone looking to make their home beautiful. Thank you, Scott, for making this experience so heartfelt and unforgettable!

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.
