Yost Home Improvements

Things went well - prompt, professional, competitive pricing.

They kept coming to fix the lock, so they finally gave me a new door. I liked the product, the door and window that they did. I didn’t dislike anything, except for the window wasn’t exactly what I had expected in the basement. I had them do 3 windows. It was a nice window. So, I can’t say that I disliked anything. Interactions with them was okay, an “A”. The work turned out to be an “A” in the end. I think of anything they can do to get a higher grade. They’re expensive.

I can't say enough good things about George Yost and his team of professionals.  They came when they said they would be there.  They did expert work and they did it efficiently.  The job was completed on schedule and they left the work areas spotless.  They were courteous and conscientious and took the time to answer any questions I had.  There were two small follow up needs following the installation and they came out promptly and took care of the issues.  They met and exceeded my expectations in every way.  I would definitely use them again and I recommend them without hesitation to my friends and associates.

Ordering, scheduling, and installation went great. Yost was responsive to first phone call, then communicated well with me via emails, and installation was done professionally and ahead of schedule. Price was fair, not the lowest, and not the highest, but was a good reasonable price for the quality work they did. I will use them again for subsequent seamless gutter needs, and would recommend them highly for this function. Very happy overall!

They arrived on time. They removed the old door and cleaned up the opening. They then began the installation of the new door. It was leveled and plumbed and attached. Then was filled with foam insulation around the edges. Then they put trim around the whole opening and caulked everything it from the elements. They cleaned up the area and removed the old door from the premises.
Why the "B"? Their prices are a bit high for one thing. The other thing is a little thing but it bothered me so I feel obliged to mention it. Part of the new door was the sliding screen door. That in itself was fine. But it was poorly adjusted and wouldn't slide well. Fortunately I have done contract work in the past and knew how to adjust the door. They should have done it as part of the install. Having said that, I give them extra points for for bringing and installing a latch to be able to open the door and still feel it's secured.
I also would recommend them to others.
Thanks Yost.

I would definitely use them in the future.

Outstanding service and professionalism. We are exceptionally pleased with the quality of the windows and especially of the service provided by the entire YOST team.

It took one day to do the work, I went to work, came home and it was finished.  They left the area clean.  It came down to two different companies and one did not call.  He was available so I chose to go with him.  They installed the self cleaning gutters and I was very pleased with the work they did.

George is good people.  His crew was on time and did a fantastic job as usual.  The doors are beyond what we pictured.  Very nice looking with the hidden screens right inside.  Very cool.  They did a great job of doing the vinyl trim work so the doors look great on the house.

We have recently had a lot of work done on our house and we have met all types of contractors.  George and his team are All-Stars.  These are the contractors we are all searching for.  I will absolutely do business with them again.

Requested an estimate of replacing my gutters due to the gutters being clogged. He got up on the roof and unclogged the drain end of the side gutters. Called for an estimate on Thurs and someone was out on Tuesday and he cleaned my gutter drain.

You can't hire a more professional and friendly contractor.  George visits and gives you personalized service.  We sent in the contract and a deposit and awaited a phone call to set up a date.  Then a couple days later we came home and the gutters were installed!!  They did a fantastic job.  We are hiring Yost again to take care of some other jobs on our house.  Good contractors are hard to find and we are very comfortable doing business with Yost.

It went fine.

The gave me a fair estimate, arriving punctually. They scheduled the service in a timely manner and performed the service as stated. They followed up with a thank you note and sporadic customer appreciation contact thereafter.

George was very professional and easy to work with. He wasn't the cheapest bid, but he did a great job. We are very happy with the results.

Yost responded promptly to my request for a quote and they delivered it within 3 days.  They outlined the options clearly, and offered some improvements to the existing gutter system.  One thing that was very helpful was that they provided the option with and without covers for the gutters, along with the benefits of each option.  Putting covers on the gutters more than doubled the price.  I was wavering what to do, however, decided not to go with the covers.  I think it is good that we get someone up there at least once/year to clean and take a look at the status of the gutters, so I opted not to go with the covers.  They also replaced old, outdated sagging hangers with new ones that should be much more durable and actually look much better.  Additionally, they made a recommendation of adding a downspout in the front of the house which had been previously hung at such a severe angle, it was a constant issue.  The front now not only looks better, the drainage will be much better.
I was also keen to get these done before winter, and Yost not only delivered the quote within three days, they got the work done within a month.  It was a very good experience, overall.

They were prompt. They were neat. They came at 8 AM and were finished by 12PM. There were three workers but the head man was Albert Yost. He was very helpful and answered several question regarding attic fans and the different grades of gutter guards. We received a quote also from another company which was $500 less but they guaranteed their work and materials for only one year. Yost offered a lifetime guarantee so we thought they were quite confident about their workmanship

The work went fine, no problems.

I was very pleased with YOST Home Improvements Inc, they are very dependable.

As we were told when Yost provided an estimate, we did not have to be at home during the cleaning and installation. Providers showed up about 9 AM and were through before noon.

The experience was fantastic!  We dealt with George Yost, who lead us through the process from start to finish.  He explained all about the siding and the different options for the trim work.  His crew was courteous, neat, and professional. He returned all our calls and answered all our questions and more!  They arrived when they said they would and worked daily. They cleaned up everything every day. The house looks awesome!!  Better than what we expected!  We got many estimates and their price was one of the highest but it was well worth it!

George Yost was very professional and helpful in guiding me through the process.  On install day, they arrived on time, were courteous and cleaned up everything when done.
They were a bit on the expensive side when comparing costs to other companies.

Unfortunately, once the job was completed, I had some issues with the exterior appearance of the finished product.  there were gaps in the metal work, pieces of the wrapped metal didn't match up and were uneven.  On the front of the house for one of the bay windows, they installed the support cables straight up instead of at an angle to create a little roof over the window as was expected and how they did the back window.  When I asked why they were doing it that way, I was told it "Had" to be that way.

I asked George Yost to meet me at my house a few weeks after the job was completed as the more I looked at the job the more unhappy I was with it.  He met me at my house, reviewed the job with me, but only offered to apply some "putty" to the gaps in the metal.

When I asked about the back window where the screws are showing along the bay window roof, some overlap and exposed nails, he replied that you cant' any more perfect than that and he didn't know what I was talking about.

Although the interior of the windows are absolutely beautiful, his team that worked at my house were professional and courteous I will not use this company again.

UPDATE:  George Yost and I were able to come to agreement on fixing the Front Bay window that I was not happy with.  He came to my house and added support footings under the bay window into the brick wall.  Additionally, he moved the support cables to an angle and into the brick wall.  The finished product is exactly what I wanted.  Although we had some issues along the way, George Yost is a gentleman and fixed the window to my satisfaction.  I am completely happy with the finished product and appreciate that Mr.  Yost was a man of his word and made it right.

George showed up promptly in response to my call about a leak in my dining room.  He got on a ladder and said my siding was done improperly and gave me some options regarding a repair and recommended I replace the siding since there was no flashing installed under the siding.  Knowing that I needed to replace the siding anyway I had him quote me which he did with various options.  After agreeing to his estimate his brother came over and fixed the leak to get me though until the siding could be done.  Before they were able to start we had another storm and I got another leak which they came and fixed the next day.
The crew who did the siding were very professional, they came in did the work and never left a mess.  The roofing job on this house is poorly done (on my list to replace this fall) and spent time fixing some of the problems as they went allowing me to get by till fall.  I did not ask them to do the extra fixes, they just did them and told me later.  They had quite an extensive job as the previous siding company did a lousy job.... no flashing on any of the windows.... really.  They also redid the gutters installing leaf guards.  The previous gutters were in sad shape and were not pitched correctly and I had water in my basement because the gutters were directing water down next to the foundation.  Since the new gutters have been installed, no issues in the basement, no leaks in the house.  Great job!!!!
Yost is more expensive than the other companies that quoted me but the quality and professionalism is outstanding.  The house looks great and I would certainly hire them again.
After the siding was complete I asked to have them replace a back door that was rotting off it's hinges.  Again, they ordered the door and installed it quickly and with no mess. Great job!!!
