Whether you’re building a mansion fit for a Trump, or adding a laundry room to your humble abode, you’ll want to hire Ben Youngblood to do the job. With over 32 years in the business, Youngblood Construction takes on jobs of any size with professionalism and panache, and at a lower price per square foot than the big guys with whom he competes.
“We’re the underdogs,” Ben says from his small office. The secret is low overhead. Ben has only a few, trusted employees and has mastered the art of “value engineering”—doing more for less. “If we’re bidding apples to apples, which means the same materials and time constraints, we are the best price for the quality level by far.”
None of this cost cutting is evident in the final product. Ben builds spectacular, high-end homes with world-class architects at some of the swankiest Westside addresses. But that does not mean he turns his nose up at smaller jobs. Youngblood Construction has a special division for additions and remodels.
No matter the job, when you hire Youngblood you work directly with Ben, affable and professional. He comes with reliable, quality subcontractor referrals and works with clients to find the best bid value on every aspect of construction. “I’m a people-person. We bend over backwards to accommodate our clients.”
Tip: "Find your contractor before your architect. Go look at houses you like and research who built them. Get to know your contractor, decide if you trust him and develop a working relationship with him."
