Yancey Home Improvements

Yancey Home Improvements has been around a long time and extremely reputable. We claim this because it has been about 20 years since they replaced our roof, including some necessary dry rot repair. Now, here we are this 20 years later and we are working with them again.
Working with BRIAN SPEAKS has been easy and enjoyable. We orig bought a roof with a 30 year warranty which now becomes a 50 year warranty. He is working with us to file a warranty claim with GAF and to engage in a new roofing contract.
We appreciate his quick responses, clear communication, and helpful knowledgable information and assistance along the way.
We will review again once the project gets underway. Very happy so far.

We are getting a kitchen remodel from Yancey. We have had three meetings with Scott and Tracy and have signed off on our remodel. Both Scott and Tracy have been very professional and informative. They have answered all of our questions and have helped us with our choices using their extensive knowledge about remodels. I would highly recommend Yancey for anyone looking to do a kitchen remodel. We can’t wait for our new kitchen.

We had a very pleasant and informative session with Brian Speaks when he came to provide an estimate for our project. He thoroughly looked at our home and pointed out what could be done. We reviewed several options, and he thoroughly answered our many questions. The estimates he provided for different options were within our expectations. Once we decided to go ahead with the option we chose, we had another pleasant experience with him. He thoroughly went through the details and provided assurances of quality of the Yancey workforce. We felt confident of all before we signed the contract. Thankyou, Brian!

Highly competitive rates. Brian and Ryan were great at explaining every step of the process as well as willing to work with me on the bid.

The owner wants to be as transparent as possible so actually seeing the breakdown of the costs really helped my understanding. I appreciate their great service and general service.

I had requested a quote and they were very on top of it. They are great at explaining expectations and even comparisons with other companies.

We had Yancey company do a complete roof replacement. Very, very happy with the work and the guys they had to do the work. Stripping the whole roof was about four hours putting the new roof on with gutter guards and ridge vents was a lot of work. They even covered the roof because of rain prediction. Every day end of the day they cleaned up their entire mess completely blew off the patio around the side of the house. The guys were great. The roof is great. The office worked really well. I have been a contractor in Sacramento for over 40 years and the Yancey company has always done a great job.

Brian Crane, estimator for Yancey has been very thorough. His explanations are easily understood and he has been very patient with my questions. His bids are very close to the other companies but his explanations have been more thorough and complete. Incidentally a dear friend just had a new roof completed by Yancey Home Improvements and they have been very pleased with all aspects of their roofing job and gave them a high recommendation too. Thank you Brian …and Yancey. I’m looking forward to getting my new roof.

Yancey was awesome to work with. My estimator was Brian Speaks, and he made the entire experience simple and enjoyable for us. There was no high pressure sales, and Brian went out of his way to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and needed. His pricing was fair, and he helped us get financing right on the spot. If I would provide more than 5 stars, I would.

Yancey team did a great job to design a custom patio cover to replace previous patio that had a very unique geometry. Installation was excellent, the crew lead (Oleh) was very focused, worked hard to get it done, and did an superb job. Would highly recommend this team.

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.

The inspector said that Yancey did a good job with the roof install. However, I feel that I was greatly overcharged with a change order for dry rot repair and chimney flashing installation. Five sheets of plywood, nails, misc. wood, and chimney flashing cost me $3,000....no individual item cost breakdown was given because it is their policy not to do that. My estimate of cost didn't even come to $1,000.
