Who is Young Homes?
Young Homes, Inc. is a Raleigh custom home builder that many people search for as Mike Young Homes. Michael Young is president (BBB profile), and Jo Ellen Young is an owner tied to the company license. The company dates to 1988 (mikeyounghomes.com).
It builds custom-designed new homes and does full-scale renovations, including build-on-your-lot projects and alterations across the Triangle. Its focus is North Raleigh and inside-the-Beltline Raleigh. The company recorded a permit project in 2025 and holds an active license, so it is still building.
