We enjoyed working with Young & Burton on the complete renovation and expansion of a luxurious 1930s San Francisco residence. The scope of the extensive gut renovation work included seismic foundation upgrades, digging out the lower level for increased ceiling heights, exterior stucco restoration, new steel window and door systems, the construction of a trellised two-floor addition, custom, high-end finishes and products in every space, and new mechanical and electrical systems throughout. Having worked with Y&B on their previous home, our detail-oriented clients were eager to work with them again. The project team worked together well in a collaborative atmosphere of trust and respect that delivered an exquisite level of customization and craft. We look forward to another project with Young & Burton!

We've collaborated with Young & Burton on many special large projects in the Bay Area and we would highly recommend this company to any of our clients who are looking for a great general contractor to build their custom home and landscape. On the business side of things, we trust them to be professional, competent, detail-oriented, fair, and conscientious. On the construction side of things, they’re one of our main go-to teams for high quality building and best practices to get the job done right. They’re sensitive to the needs of the clients as far as providing clear and accurate cost-estimates and analysis, value-engineering if required, and negotiating with the subs so the clients feel they've gotten great quality at a fair price. Their project managers on are site every day, supervising all the work done by the subs, and their follow-up (and follow-through) is demanding and thorough. Young & Burton regularly builds the projects we've designed, and our satisfaction with their work exceeds expectations.

Young & Burton was the general contractor on a number of my projects.
I have had the good fortune of working with Young & Burton for 20 years -- and I look forward to doing more projects together. Both of our Houzz profiles show our most recent project: the addition/remodel of an historic house in Palo Alto.
The firm has wonderful qualities - not the least of which are a really good set of sub relationships, a detailed focus on every aspect of a project and a commitment to their clients and architects that extends long past the project completion date. The best projects are those where all the players share the same objectives and have the same standards and in this they are consummate team players as they work collaboratively to realize the design goals of each project. When there are tricky problems to resolve or choices to be made they quickly bring their expertise to the table, work to get the right solution and then do the best job possible. I have always enjoyed the experience of working with Mike Burton and his entire team and would recommend them highly for any project.

Young and Burton, Inc., is the first firm we think of when we are commissioned to do our best and most important projects. Mike Burton's entire team of professionals share his attitude of excellence in producing work at the highest level. Our firm is very active throughout the construction stage, giving us an opportunity to see every portion of the work as it evolves. We always look forward to our site visits on Y&B projects, and we enjoy the creative energy and positive attitudes of every member of the team. All of our work is custom, and often requires new ways of sequencing the execution of the structure. Every subcontractor that is hired by Y&B is carefully selected for their high level of expertise as well as their ability to communicate well with the rest of the team.
Custom projects require a level of care and intelligence that is unique to Y&B's class of building. Their commitment to honesty and adherence to the client's budget are traits that are rare in the arena of construction. We have completed more than twenty projects with Y&B, and we anticipate a continuing relationship with them for many years to come.

I had the unfortunate experience of having my roof collapse at a commercial shopping center in Dublin. The required repair was quite difficult given the very confined workspace, the disruption to my tenant and the complexity to the proper fix. Young & Burton came up with a very creative solution of repairing the large broken wooden truss with a custom steel beam in lieu of totaling replacing the beam.
This resulted in a much more expedient repair with the slightest disruption to my tenant and most importantly, it was lowered the original cost estimate dramatically.
