Younger Brothers Builders (YBB)

We own a 2000 sf condo in Danville- love the location but the closed-in floor plan made the place dark. We wanted to open it up and do whatever we could to bring in more natural light. It's an interior unit so adding windows wasn't really an option. In addition to making the place feel more spacious and open, we wanted to enlarge the downstairs bathroom and connect it to the downstairs bedroom. We wanted this bathroom to be ADA accessible. We also wanted to significantly change the Master Bathroom- enlarge the closet area, have a separate toilet space and a larger shower. We hired Younger Brothers Builders because he had done a huge remodel for our son and daughter-in-law and their experience had been very positive. He came highly recommended and we had seen firsthand the quality of the work YBB does. Having had previous experiences with building custom homes, the top priority was the integrity and honesty of the contractor. Again, Cam had an excellent reputation and we had complete trust in both his ability and his business practices. Our trust has been very well placed. We've had a very positive experience working with YBB. Cam collaborated with the architect we'd hired to do the design. This went smoothly and worked very well. One key to the success of our project is that Cam communicates very well. Any e-mail / text / call is answered promptly and very efficiently. His office assistant, Samantha Thoma is absolutely outstanding. She's really on top of every detail and very helpful and pleasant. We've also had a great deal of contact with Cam's foreman, Julian Chairez, who is wonderful. He's a true craftsman, a perfectionist and a gentleman. Cam deals with sub-contractors who are first-rate. This is something to really pay attention to!! I speak from experience here. One thing that made this project so enjoyable for me is the YBB referred me to people who were great to work with-- cabinet company, tile and flooring, appliances, plumbing fixtures, lighting fixtures, home theater, etc. The fact that I was able to meet safely with all of these different companies, in the middle of the pandemic, and receive excellent service from them, contributed greatly to the success of the finished project. Everything we hoped to achieve when we embarked on this complete remodel has been done. My husband and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cam Younger and YBB. I know that many people think that building or remodeling is destined to be a very stressful experience and I understand that because that was our experience one time many years ago. But it can also be very positive. Cam is everything you could want in a contractor- he's honest, capable, a problem-solver, efficient, and a genuinely nice person. We would recommend him without reservation to any friend, family member, or acquaintance. Service: Remodeling

We were very happy with the remodel/renovation work that Cam and his team did on our home. Cam had several great ideas to improve the living space and resolve various issues we had with the original layout. He remained sensitive to the budget and timeline, and set realistic expectations right up front. Cam's communication was always clear and thorough, and the team were always prompt and professional.

Cam Younger and his team at YBB helped me with a remodel project in my home. We gutted a bathroom, installing all new fixtures, surround tile for the shower with a hung sliding glass shower door. The careful considerations Cam took with me in the planning stages really went a long way with the great results of the project. His team is professional, timely, caring and in my experience skilled at what they do. I also had a gas fireplace installed, which involved a lot of back and forth with the city inspector to make sure it was up to code. The whole project went according to plan, and the final results are beautiful! Thanks Cam! Services: Painting, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Plumbing fixture installation

I lost my house in the 2017 fires in Santa Rosa (Fountaingrove neighborhood) and ended up evacuating to the East Bay. I quickly started searching for a builder and while we were living out there, drove to Walnut Creek to meet Cam Younger of Younger Brothers Builders (YBB). We interviewed around 15 other contractors and went with YBB, and feel so fortunate that we made this decision. My wife and I are NOT handy at all and know nothing about construction, so there was a great deal of faith. When we asked for references and examples of his work, rather than giving us a list of the 3 people who love him the most, he said to just drop by a current project (indicating he was confident in the quality of any of his projects). We did this and the homeowner was very happy with Cams work. After obtaining 3 bids on our home rebuild, Cam easily had the most thorough and lengthy estimate, which made us feel comfortable that there wouldnt be surprises later on. As you can imagine, we know a lot of other people going through a rebuild, and we watched as our home rebuild raced past other houses that started before us. Cam is very organized and likes to beat deadlines. We appreciated how he didnt over-commit himself to projects and could focus on ours. We know he is a hard worker he sacrificed many hours just in the drive from San Ramon to Santa Rosa. If we ran into problems, he owned up to mistakes (which is rare), was approachable and easy to talk to and acted quickly to make corrections. We are so lucky to have Cam rebuild our home! Building a home from ground up was not as painful as other stories I heard from my friends. The quality of YBBs work is exceptional, we have a home we are proud to show off. YBB was on budget, and we didnt have to tap into the contingency funds. His employees are professional, knowledgeable and complied with our special requests like avoiding shoes in the house. We wouldnt hesitate to choose him for other projects in the future.
