Young’s CAP Construction

Review for Estimate and Customer Service:
With the rainy season coming, I found Mr. Young Kim’s roofing company through Unilocal.I called on a Monday morning, and Michelle (I’m assuming Mr. Kim’s wife) got down my name and number and within 45mins, Mr. Kim called me back, and booked a Wednesday 10am appointment with me.
Mr. Kim is a sweet, fellow. He arrived promptly, (actually 15mins ahead of time), and checked out the leak in the den room. I even loved that he took off his loafers when entering my house. So very Asian, and so very appreciative :)
Mr. Kim then climbed up on my roof and found the leaks and suggested what he’ll do for the repairs, and explained how my brother or I can try to repair and prevent future leaks ourselves. He even complimented my brother for doing a good job on the patching and white coating on another part of the roof. I love that Mr. Kim was honest about how we can try to fix it first before bringing in the big guns, and not shoving a contract to me right away to start service. That, I really appreciated a lot too.
Overall, I was able to coax my brother into fixing the roof based on what Mr. Kim suggested. Despite not going with his service, this review is a five star rating that Mr. Kim has provided.
I would definitely recommend him for your roofing needs.
Gamsahamnida (thank you), Mr. Kim! :)

We have a 20+ years old Eagle lite concrete tile roof on our house. I noticed an 8 inches water spot (actually a long thin line) on the ceiling on top of our bed after several rare heavy rains we had this past January. So I figured I better get it fixed just in case we get heavy rain this Winter even though we are in the middle of a major drought.
Like many people I started my search for a roofing company by asking friends and neighbors if they know anybody. Some told me nightmare stories of their experiences with roofers and one neighbor told me she knows a guy. So I called the guy to take a look and gave me an estimate. He wasn’t a professional roofer, just a handyman doing some of this and some of that type so I wasn’t sure even the price was cheap. I started searching for a professional roofer on Unilocal. I called 4 or 5 roofing companies and two companies came by but instead of listening to my needs to repair a leak they tried to convince me to replace my entire roof with presentations on an ipad. Several more quoted me unbelievable low prices like $ 600 without even looking carefully. It was getting as confusing as buying a new car. But at least there is a sticker price to go by on a new car. What is the going rate on fixing a leaking roof? The wrong move can create more leaks!
After reading the reviews for Young’s CAP Company I decided to give them a call. Mr. Kim is very professional and carefully listened to my needs. He explained in detail what he will do to try to fix the leak and how long it will take. We decided to hire Mr. Kim even though his estimate was highest of the ones we got.
Mr. Kim and his employee (Mr. Santos) came to our home on time last Friday morning. Mr. Santos carefully removed about 11 columns of tile from our roof (That’s about half of one side of the entire roof, other companies told me they will take off 3 to 5 columns). Then slowly he cleaned up the open area, replaced some water damaged rotten wood before nailing down water prove paper. Mr. Santos work was very neat and detailed. He didn’t try to hurry but rather made sure all the tiles were in a straight row when he nailed them back. I always like to observe workers at the end of a job to see if they will hurry and just want to get the hell out of there and get paid. But Mr. Santos took pride with his work and carefully did his job to the end without hurrying. Mr. Kim gave me a 1 year warranty and I am confident he will stand behind his word. We are happy to say now we have a professional roofer to call on if something-​else happen to this old roof. If you want a real professional, give Mr. Kim a call.

So this is a bit late as i had my roof redone in 2010 (i think it was previously done in the 60’s and was in severe disrepair). Mr. Kim came out to give me an estimate and it came in about the same as the other estimates i received.
I have a split roof where the front is apex (with clay tiles from the 20’s) and the back half is flat (which was leaking into the house at the only downspout and caused severe damage, I did the wall repair, but Mr. Kim’s team did the roof repair). It took 4 days for the roof to be stripped, repaired and put back together, and he was able to keep all of the 1920’s tiles intact Including a rare 4 sided apex tile which is not made anymore and expensive to find. for the back part of the roof, they used hot tar instead of cold tar (which is what the other quotes were using). The edges of the flat roof are raised, seemingly just for looks as they have tile going across the top. Mr Kim made sure that the edges were triple covered so that there would be no leaking whatsoever. Now, this was 5 years ago and i have had no issues.
Other reviews say that Mr. Kim didnt go onto the roof for an estimate, but in my experience (once again 5 years ago) He was up there every day.
Bottom line, if you want quality, go with Youngs!

The main person iof this family business appears to be Mr. Young Kim, he’s a very sweet elderly man that promptly came out for an estimate on my roof. He took linear measurements by walking in front of my house and then provided me a verbal quote which I thought was high. I had to ask him for his business card to write down the price. I did not think his estimate was fair or accurate since he gauged my needs from the ground but he was an older man and I did not expect him to climb up on the roof. In hindsight, he should have had a helper, someone who could climb the ladder and walk the roof for accurate measurements.
I later called another roofer listed on Unilocal and they came in at ¹⁄₃ less than Mr. Kim. They climbed my roof for an accurate measurement and was knowledgeable so I decided to go with them. I somehow felt that Mr. Kim did not want my business since he did not provide a written estimate which was peculiar but that’s only an impression after I received the level of service from the 2^nd roofing company.

I needed to gather a few estimates to present to our HOA for work that needed to be done on the roof of our townhouse. Mr. Kim was timely and very courteous. His quote was at about $ 300 less than the next lowest estimate we gathered. It was at least $ 600 less than the highest estimate. Needless to say, the HOA went with him and we had the work completed within the timeframe estimated. It hasn’t rained heavily yet, but the few times it has rained, the work seems to be holding. There is a one year guarantee on the repair, so I’m not particularly worried. Thanks Mr. Kim.

LESS THAN 1 STAR!
I just called to give them business (based upon their reviews).
I need 3 roofing estimates.
A female answered, I kindly explained what I needed and she RUDELY hung up on me. I called again, the phone was picked up but there was no response.
I thought… perhaps it’s my phone, or the connection was lost. I called again, and the phone just rang.
Shame on Young’s Cap Construction!
One would think that with this economy, ANY business would be heartily welcomed.
I had 3 awaiting customers for them!
I’m taking my 3 homeowner clients elsewhere where I and they will be treated respectfully.

When the tiles got cracked and started crumbling down
And it was just too hard for me to fix and mend
I called one of the friendliest repairmen around
And my mom’s house’s roofing troubles he did end!
On the roof he gave an estimate…
A low price for this work did Mr. Kim set…
Let me tell you now…
He came with a worker, a ladder, supplies
Early in the morning with sleep still in my eyes
The worker went up and replaced the ripped paper
There was a leak about to happen to our surprise!
They tarred the area and nailed the paper down
Re-​placed the tiles and made it nice all around!
That’s all up on the roof…
The small extra work he did it all for free!
If you need roof help, call Young’s, you’ll be happy!
Let me tell you now…
Mr. Kim and worker were super nice and polite
My mom at first was unsure that they did everything right
They allayed her fears, they explained everything well
And mom slept happy with a nicely repaired roof that night
His work is professional and he will fill you back with glee!
Call Mr. Kim at Young’s for roof help; you’ll see
He’ll be
Up on your roof!

I hired Mr. Kim to repair my roof and the roof at my brothers house. He is very sweet and honest which is so hard to find in this day and age. I am so happy I found him on Unilocal.I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends and family that need his services. Thank you Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim is the most awesome person ever! Not only is he good at his job, but most importantly, he has fun doing it. His quotes are reasonable and he completes his work in a timely manner.
We had problems with our roof, where water would leak through the ceiling whenever it rained. My parents hired some company to fix it, but once another rainy day came passing by, water was leaking in through our ceiling once again. We finally heard about Mr. Kim and he came by with a friendly smile and introduced himself like so, «Hello! My name is Young Man Kim. Yes, I am YOUNG… hahaha». He made our day! And yes, his name is really Young Man. He inspected our roof thoroughly and worked on it immediately. His workers are really friendly and polite.
After the job was completed, he ensured that our house would be completely leakage-​free. The most important factor that made me give him 5 stars was that he followed up with us the next time it rained and made sure everything was ok. We’ve had no leakage problem since then.
Happy roof, happy house.

i may be biased too because he is my dad but… i can say, hands down, my dad is the most honest and genuine man i know. He finds joy in everything he does! You won’t be sorry… not just because of his awesome quotes or his excellent work but just the mere happiness in his tone of voice is enough to put a smile on your face.
My father is trusted by all who meet him from clients to material distributors. If people keep coming back to do business with him, there must be a reason why. So give him a call and you will definitely not be disappointed! I LOVE YOU, DAD!!!
