T.R. Young Services

We’ve had Thomas and his crew out to the house for projects twice since we moved into our fixer upper home in July 2015. First we had them repair a very decrepit deck and fix a floor joist that the previous owners had cut out to install some pipes. Then we just had him back to resolve some issues we were having with water drainage under the house. At first I thought the price seemed a little steep but after talking to Mr. Young and seeing the professionalism of his crew I am extremely pleased with all the work they have done. These guys do NOT take short cuts or cut corners. Everyone is friendly and hard working and stuff gets done right the first time, on time and on budget. Thomas is extremely personable and knowledgeable and comes up with very creative solutions to difficult problems. He is also very prompt to reply and courteous when answering questions or acknowledging concerns. I will continue to use this company for any and all work I need done in the future. We are hoping to have him back soon to replace some windows and tear down an old shed. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Thomas and his crew recently finished a substantial repair to our house. The second floor bedroom (formerly a sleeping porch that was converted to a bedroom many years ago) on our newly-​purchased house turned out to be failing structurally and had to have its support posts replaced (yes, we knew about it from the inspection, but no, we didn’t know how big a job it was going to be – we would never have bought the house if we had).
We shopped around with several companies and chose TR Young because of the good reviews. I’m glad we did. Thomas handled all of the details (getting engineering plans drawn up, pulling permits, keeping us updated on the progress of the job). He has lots of experience in the field and clearly enjoys his work — that shows up in the attention to detail (things like perfectly matching the paint at the end of the job so we can’t really tell where the work was done).

We hired TR Young Services to stain and seal a custom Cedar garage door for us as we were completing a driveway and front yard renovation for a client in Arlington. Thomas provided exceptional quality, service, and value. The door turned out beautifully and our client was very happy!

We have used TR young again for painting and floors. He is great! Fantastic ideas very professional crew. Always on time. I really like this contractor. I would recommend him to my family or best friend. It’s family owned business so I feel like I’m supporting small business people. He is fair and. From what I can see honest.

I was recommended to T. R, Young Services by a friend after closing the sale on my very first apartment purchase. I have some painting to be done and overall touch ups and fixes. I was looking for more than a handy man who could advise me on fixing up my place to make it even more livable and secure.
From the first visit to provide me with the quote, I could already tell that I am talking to an experienced contractor, who would not easily be daunted by projects that may seem complicated for me. Thomas was punctual, professional and knows what he is talking about, someone whom I feel I could trust to handle and I gave him the contract rightway.
The work done met all my expectations: timeliness, quality and good value for money. As one of the reviewers mentioned, Thomas is responsive and very efficient. I would highly recommend him to all my friends. Thank you, Thomas!

I found this contractor on Unilocal and contacted them about fixing our kitchen ceiling. We HAD an appointment scheduled but we cancelled after the contractor decided from 4 pictures we sent him that he couldn’t do the job or didn’t want to. It is a shame because I was hoping to maybe have some other work done.

I used T.R. Young to install a main panel in the house that I recently bought. I liked how straight forward and honest Mr. Young was. You can probably get cheaper but you’d have to do some research or get a recommendation. T.R. Young is alot cheaper than Michael & Son so I would say they are a sure bet and prices are middle of the road. About two weeks after, the panel was installed I called another electrician to put in a circuit breaker. He complimented the work T. R. Young did on the main panel. So did the electrical inspector when he came out.

I found Thomas Young while looking for a contractor to back a 203k renovation mortgage. The house I ended up buying needed just about everything. Thomas was there for almost all of it, either contracting the work directly or offering me professional advice on the best approaches to meet my goals. Thomas helped manage my expectations and came up with a realistic plan that met my many needs. By the end of the project, he had:
–established goals and budgets for my 203k renovation loan
–installed, replaced, built, or repaired the HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical, floors, cabinets, wash room, windows, and a laundry list of smaller details.
–provided practical advice on a number of related projects in the house
–organized or located all the labor (trash removal guys, electricians, plumbers, etc.)
–and most importantly, completed everything he said he would in a timely, on-​budget fashion.
This was my 1^st house, 1^st mortgage, and 1^st time working with a contractor. I was very nervous about making such a big leap into the world of home renovations and didn’t have a lot of trustworthy references. I’d read a lot of horror stories about contractors under-​bidding, bailing, or running off with money.
Thankfully Thomas came through for me. T.R. Young services did literally everything they said they would, at the price they said they would, and in a timely fashion. If I have the chance to renovate another house in the area, I’m sure that I will be in touch with these guys again.
