Young Construction

Only giving 1 star because it wouldn’t allow me to make this post without giving a star. This company does NOT deserve a single star. My family hired young construction last summer to replace a few windows, a patio door, and do some siding at my dad’s house. My father just had heart surgery so I met with Zeke from young construction out of the Mason City area. I explained to him exactly what we were looking for and a timeline we needed. He told me everything I wanted to hear so I hired him. He assured me that my dad’s house would be done before the end of August 2023. Even offered to do work for us on the side (which is against company policy) I messaged him the middle of August to see when they were going to start after he assured me it would be done by the end of the month. He said it would be done before Labor Day weekend in September. September rolls in and we get a phone call about someone coming to measure the door and windows. Zeke was over 3 times before hand but apparently did not even measure anything. We were under the impression he ordered everything since he told us the job would be done by Labor Day. October comes around, I messaged Zeke asked for an update. He replied with “waiting on siding”. I called the company and the siding was actually already there. He lied to us. November comes around and we were assured that they work year round regardless of the weather. They still didn’t start working on the house. After messaging Zeke about what we originally discussed and how upset we were getting, he was very unprofessional. Rude. Denied agreeing to anything even though we have the messages to prove it. He called the people we spoke to at his company liars. December 1, 2023 is when they started working on the house. FINALLY! They ordered the wrong patio door. Opened the opposite direction and the lock does no work. They promised they would make it right (still to this day April 24, 2024 have not done that). They did not do the job correctly. We had someone who is knowledgeable about doing construction come take a look at the work, he apologized for the lousy job that we received. He pointed out everything wrong and what young construction should have done. It’s such a lousy job that the siding is already coming off and it hasn’t been 6 months yet. The job hasn’t even been finished. This guy made sure he was there when the company sent out a guy to speak to us. The man from the company was so unprofessional that he was yelling. My brother has been blocked from the Facebook page due to writing a review. The house still is not done or fixed, it’s been almost a year since we signed the contract. We spend $34,000 to receive poor quality work, to get ignored, blocked, lied too, and the wrong door/without a lock. I do NOT recommend this company. I cannot speak for the other young construction companies but the one by Mason City/Minnesota I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND

Last fall we contacted several roofing companies for multiple roof replacements to be done in the spring. Jamie with Young Construction contacted us immediately and was out to the farm within days to help us. She was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and trust worthy. Jamie kept in contact with us threw the winter and notified us in the spring when the crew would be arriving. The day before the crew arrived all the supplies were dropped off. Everything was neatly stacked and placed near the roofs to be done. The driver was very professional and pleasant to talk with, swapping a few farm stories. The crew arrived the next day, I’ve never seen such a hard working team! They had amazing work ethics, they took pride in their work and cleaned up afterwards! They were friendly and they even took the time to roof our little dog house! We are so pleased with the quality of roofing we received from Young Construction, we appreciate all the hard work from Jamie, the crew and all the other people that made it happen! Thank you all!!

The service not listed is that 1) I had seemless gutters installed and 2) had the leaf covers installed over the gutters. The roof install was done to the garage only (July 2022) and was done many months after the gutters on the house (Nov 2021). On both occasions appointment dates were confirmed by phone, but noone showed up until a week or more later. And during the summer of 2021 I had signed a contract for the garage roof to be done. Yes, I was told up front it would be done the following spring and that a patch would be placed over the hole in the roof to get me by without further leaking. When I called at the beginning of June wondering about a time for roof replacement, I was told it would probably be August since I didn't put a deposit down. They could get to me sooner with a deposit so I paid 2/3 of the quote and they still didn't show up on the date I was told. Materials were delivered for the roof so it could've been done on the stated date. Many long screws were found from the gutter install around the house as well as large staples and roofing nails in my driveway! I knew I should've taken pictures of all of them!

My roof was damaged by a falling tree. The construction manager detailed the damage with photographs and drone video all forwarded to my insurance company and a reasonable estimate was provided and accepted. Upon arrival the crew was efficient and orderly. Unforseen problems with an older residence called for additional labor and material but the contractor stated they would work with my insurance for an equitable payment. Having roofed this house myself twice I knew how the job needed to be done, the crew obviously knew what to do, too. Their work and finished product was amazing and took just the one day to complete. I would highly recommend Young Construction for any roofing project, five stars. Victor Hewett

The siding on our house was showing it's age. Jaime from Young Construction came and gave me an estimate. She also gave me an estimate on replacing the rain gutters, which were also showing their age. Both estimates were reasonable (compared to other companies that were much higher). I was very happy with the detail shown in picking the color of the siding and rain gutters. The crew that installed the siding did a great job and an even better job of cleaning up. I also asked if Young Construction did decks (they do not). But, they did give me a contractor's name that does AWESOME. I would highly recommend Young Construction and Jaime for getting this project started and completed.
