We bought a home that was
remodeled by Yancey. What a nightmare. All looks great but underneath it all things are just terrible. Leaking bathrooms and crown molding not finished. Paint job on cabinets was poorly painted all the way down to screws showing through the Sheetrock. Leaking windows, outlets not working and just to much more to add
In this review.I 'm not sure if they higher terrible subcontractors but you might want to steer clear.
Made a few calls in the beginning to just get some paint colors and they acted like it was just a pain to look in a file to find.

This company did a remodel for us. After the heavy rain in October, there were multiple leaks in the walls. We contacted them and they scheduled a time to come out. They didn't show up! We scheduled again and guess what? Another no show! How about a third time? No show! How would you feel if you took time off of work (3 times!)to wait for them to show up and they don't? Obviously your time and money doesn't matter to them. Very unreliable, unprofessional and full of excuses. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Once they got your money, you don't matter!

Don't bother with this company. I called to get an estimate of adding 100 square feet by expanding two walls and add a shower to the existing bathroom/space needing to be expanded. The representative, Jordan, had called me back and forth five times all to tell me they wouldn't come give an actual estimate. Our first conversation, he estimated 75k-85k, but he himself said he is not the estimator and every job varies. I thought $750/sq foot seemed pricey, but still wanted a professional to come and review the job. He asked what I had budgeted, tens of thousands of dollars, and said that

Ordered part a and received part in Feb of 2021. Waiting for part installation for 3 months. Also have raised an issue about fan above the microwave that doesn't seem to work properly. Was told it would be checked out when they come to fix faucet. This was a fancy sub contractor that did work for yancey. When we signed up for our projects we were told about 2 months out to sart.

We had a bathroom remodel done with Yancey. Our salespeople were great very happy and excited about the job and had us really excited. They helped us pick everything out, they appeared to know what we needed and it all appeared to be great and was going to work out.
Our home is older, built in the 70's, so we needed a new bathroom. Well, fast forward another guy came out to measure and that went smooth. It was time for the job to begin (we had a huge delay due to COVID). The guy who came out to do the work was great! He knew his stuff, keep in mind we had a complete bathroom remodel and

This guy came in and did absolutely no measuring in our very small kitchen and quoted us $35K for cabinets and countertops. Our house is only 1000 sq ft and our kitchen is tiny. He bumped his head!
We have bought the cabinets and granite slab for countertops and a farmhouse sink for less than 6k. Shop around, we are in a pandemic and Yancey got jokes!

Yancey responded faster than anyone else getting me an estimate. Some places I contacted took all the info, measurements, etc and never followed up with the estimate. Yancey had a nice showroom to pick out all your items and they help you coordinate everything. Again I was given an appointment promptly. The two contractors they sent to do the work were very professional and they communicated with me on everything. They kept my place as clean as possible during the process. There are a mind blowing amount of tools and supplies for a single bath remodel and they did an excellent job of keeping things

Linda Louis did a fantastic job of assisting me with a Mr. Steam shower seat. Parts needed replacing and thanks to her superior customer service I was able to work through the problem. Without her assistance I was ready to tear the wall out and replace. Yancey Co is lucky to have such a valuable employee.

Our salesman was great and enthusiastic. He showed up wearing a mask and was very thorough and receptive to our needs for house windows and sliding glass doors. Due to Covid there was a long delay in manufacturing which is understandable. Other bad reviews about this company have come to fruition for us with unexpected delays in installation. The lack of communication was horrible along with
mis-Communication and a total lack of empathy.
When we finally got our windows installed, the installation guys were awesome and got the job done in three days, and it looks great. Just a sidenote, if you

While our bathroom looked nice initially, it has gone down hill quickly. Getting them to take care of things in a timely manner was very difficult with lots of hoops to jump through. Now that we have had the bathroom 3 years, we would not recommend this company, especially when considering price
As of now our bathrooms is looking right again. I appreciate that the company came back to redo our shower. We are hopeful it will last a while!

These people were extremely rude and difficult to deal with. I called to set up an estimate for 2 complete bathroom remodels. I met with a person named Jeremiah. I was hassled from the beginning with questions to see "if I really wanted a bathroom from them." His own actual words.
Then they asked my budget, and weren't too happy with my guesstimate. He told me it would be 25-30k for each bathroom. I said ok and after hesitation Jeremiah started my estimate. This was the start of a horrible experience.

This company is like a car dealer. Stay away. Their entire sales approach is gimmicky, and I'm so glad we walked away prior to giving them our money. The salesman was very friendly, but the entire thing is a joke. He came to our home 3 times (which is all part of the gimmick), the 4th time you go to their showroom.
When he first came to our house the cost was quoted from $35k - $45 (max), with it being closer to the middle ($40k). Somehow the number kept creeping up although there was NEVER a breakdown of what anything cost. He repeatedly reassured us that we would receive a breakdown in

I had both bathrooms remodeled and I practically have PTSD over the experience. You will be dazzled by a charming sales person, then on the day of renovation a complete stranger will show up. This person will have no regard for how you feel, or what you think. If you are a single female, you will be intimidated and your opinions will be dismissed. They will try to get you to use their friends on the side to fix the things they are not doing well such as drywall repair or moving an outlet, both of which were part of the origInal contract. Except when you ask for an itemized bill they won't

Our shower remodel looks great and is safer thanks to the new safety bars. Dan and Jessie did a wonderful job installing everything, were helpful in scheduling the work to fit with our schedule, were very knowledgeable, and gladly answered all our questions. Yancy was very easy to work with, and addressed any questions we had promptly. We are satisfied customers!

I had an appointment scheduled for a bathroom remodel I am in the midst of working through and Steve Coker came out to give me an estimate on what I wanted to do next. It was clear that my budget was not compatible with the amount Steve said would be needed to do the job, that was unfortunate as he drove all the way up from Tracy. Instead of bailing right away as other companies have since I wasn't the cash cow they were looking for...Steve hung out for a bit and offered to answer any questions I had about what I needed to do next and what materials would best suit my needs for the remaining

I had an excellent experience working with Yancey for my home remodel. From the first communication down to the job completion everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend anyone local to this company choose them, you won't be disappointed with the professionalism or the quality of work. And as we know, choosing a contracting company can be a daunting task. Make it less so with Yancey.

The company was hired to complete a bath remodel. My bathroom is very small, but it has taken these contractors almost 5 weeks to complete. Tomorrow will be five weeks on the calendar, which includes precisely one day for holiday, and I still don't have a faucet. Verbally I was given an estimate of 2+ weeks, but they have had consistent problems performing to work schedule, things apparently out of sequence, problems with defective parts that have had to be replaced which causes other delays.

I was very sad and frustrated last week after spending several months receiving lackluster followup care from Yancey.
I ended leaving a voicemail and then following up a few hours later with another call. I actually connected with a human and not their voicemail. A couple of apologetic follow up calls later, I finally had an appointment set for Yancey to come out.
Yancey just finished up and left a little while ago and, I am a MUCH happier client now. Jack, the superintendent, called me a few days prior to the visit to make sure he understood what I needed. He also came out with the contractor
