Active in the new home building industry for over twenty years, Mike Young received his degrees as a nuclear engineer and has applied the principles of precision and detail to the art of crafting new homes. While pursuing his college education, Mike’s summers and weekends were often spent on construction sites framing, trimming and painting custom homes around the Maryland suburbs of Washington D.C. His ten years of engineering employment focused on performing research with universities and national labs around the country. He managed the construction of test facilities and data/correlation development to predict coolant flow in nuclear reactors. Then, in the early 80’s he built his own home for his wife and growing family of 4 children which inevitably opened doors to start his own building company. The challenges and fulfilling experiences of building custom homes has been Mike’s passion ever since. He spent 3 years in Maryland’s suburbs building homes and then moved to Raleigh in 1988 to form Young Homes.
Building primarily in the Triangle area, Mike has grown his company into an extremely competitive operation that artfully blends quality, value and comfort. A member of the Better Business Bureau and Home Builders Association, Mike produces custom homes that are unique and often authentic to historical designs. Whether it is French European or Neo-Traditional Southern Classical design, Mike’s homes exude an elegance that you must see for yourself to truly appreciate. This is evidenced further by numerous “Parade of Homes” awards that he has received throughout his career.
