Younger Brothers Builders (YBB)

When the plumbing in both of our upstairs bathrooms failed, we opted to expand the space and redesign the layout, which required also making adjustments to the front of our home. Thank goodness we opted to work with YBB on the project. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

From the very start, the YBB team demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and expertise. They took the entire project down to the studs, completely reimagined the layout, and delivered a finished result that exceeded every expectation. What truly set them apart was their ability to manage every moving part seamlessly, from navigating the permitting process with the City of San Ramon with ease, to coordinating an outstanding architect, to keeping the daily schedule running like clockwork.

One of the things we appreciated most was being able to see real, visible progress every single day. It gave us tremendous confidence that the project was in the right hands.

A very special thank you to Edgar, Julian, Phil and Sam, four of the knowledgeable employees, whose attention to detail, project management execution and deep knowledge of building codes and regulations made all the difference. Their expertise was evident at every stage, and their commitment to doing the job right was apparent.

If you are considering a remodel and want a contractor who will handle every detail with care, communicate clearly, and deliver beautiful results, look no further than YBB. We were one of their smaller projects. I can only imagine the peace of mind they provide with a total home renovation. Thank you, YBB team - we love our new bathrooms!

We couldn't be happier with the experience we had with Cam and the team at YBB for our whole-home remodel. A project of this scale is a massive undertaking, and while there are always going to be a few hiccups along the way, Cam’s planning and execution were top-tier.

The biggest thing that sets them apart is the **quality of the work**. The attention to detail in our house is honestly outstanding, and the finished product feels incredibly high-end. You can really see the pride they take in every square inch of the build.

Two other things that really surprised us (in the best way possible) were the timing and the budget:

* **Reliable Timing:** Cam estimated our move-in date accurately to within about a week. Given how often construction projects drag on, we were incredibly impressed by that.
* **Budget Accuracy:** Our final costs were within roughly **5% of the original estimate**. It’s rare to find a contractor who stays that close to the initial numbers.

Part of what made this work was the **detailed Gantt chart** they provided. It made the entire process feel completely transparent; we always knew exactly where we stood on a weekly basis and had a clear view of what was planned for the weeks ahead. It really took the guesswork out of the project and kept us extremely well-informed throughout.

YBB definitely isn’t the cheapest option out there, but in our opinion, they are absolutely worth the money for the peace of mind, the accurate scheduling, and the superior results. All of their subcontractors were fantastic to work with as well.

In terms of advice for future clients, just be ready to make a ton of decisions! Cam and Sam were incredibly helpful in navigating all the choices we had to make, and we found that being ready to make a call on things fairly quickly was a big part of what kept the project on track. Also, while we could always get things done over email and text, jumping on a quick call or meeting in person was usually the best way to dive into the finer details.

If you’re looking for a team that delivers high-quality work and actually hits their deadlines, we highly recommend Cam and YBB.

Our family lost our home in FountainGrove in the 2017 Tubbs Fire. We ended up finding a contractor from Walnut Creek called Younger Brothers Builders (YBB) who is absolutely amazing. We heard all these horror stories about contractors and it honestly scared us a little. We interviewed close to 15 different contractors and ended up choosing YBB because we connected on many different levels. Cam Younger is the owner and he built our home up to our standards and the process was pretty flawless. We are so grateful for his exquisite work, patience, thoroughness and professionalism. Cam is laid back, friendly, humorous and kind-hearted. He’s honest and we always felt he was on our side, not trying to rip people off. We have not had a single bad experience with YBB. They helped us stay on budget (very transparent), we actually came in a little under budget and never hit our contingency. We had a great experience working with him and his professional team. We LOVE YBB and are so grateful for this positive experience! Thanks a million for getting us back into our home. As parents ourselves, we understand the importance of time spent with family, Cam could have looked at our location and refused the job based on the distance and time away from his family, but he chose to help us. Thank you YBB, we feel indebted to them.
