Advantage Construction INC.

Advantage is incompetent and dishonest. In 2018 Advantage replaced all roofs in a Woodbury townhome community. In the process, they installed the kick out flashing incorrectly and left gaping holes in many homeowners' siding. Photos are attached. Thus, in Spring, 2019 many homeowners sustained water intrusion into the interior of their homes as a direct result of the holes left in the siding by Advantage. Advantage was supposed to have repaired the holes in the siding before Winter. Advantage had "reported" to the townhouse management company that the repairs had been completed. On 2/2, I climbed on a ladder to look at the holes in my siding and no repairs had been completed - that was a lie. I have attached photos that can be shared. Advantage was incompetent in the original roof installation and has been completely unresponsive and dishonest since. ALL I AM ASKING FOR IS THAT ADVANTAGE FIX THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSED! I have attached the photos to back this all up.

Great. Matt Heisick, the project manager for my house was on top of every detail, big and small.My thanks to Matt, and Advantage for the superb job. If I should ever need any work done on my house in the future, Advantage will get the call. Also I will let everybody I know to call them if they need work.

It was amazing. They were fast, efficient and willing to be flexible!

We started out with a different Construction Company salesperson who got our roof done right away and then ghosted us for months. I got Advantage's Josh Lungstrom's name from a neighbor. He came over right away, reviewed the ins adjustor's estimate, and started right in documenting missed damage and working with the ins company who gave us EVERYTHING Josh asked for. Josh built the claim from $29k to $59k. Besides the roof, we now have new full house siding, west windows, deck door, outdoor lights, and deck. It's like a whole new house! Josh is super-friendly, communicative, highly expert, and so easy to work with! I can't count how many times he responded to our requests with "We can do that." The crews were great too (including installing the siding in 10 degree weather). I designed what I wanted our house to look like on PowerPoint and gave the picture to Josh. He replicated it almost exactly!

Very good communication. Appears to be quality work. Very good materials.

It went well

Rob Johnson went above and beyond to explain things and persevered, ensuring every aspect of the job was completed professionally with “complete” customer satisfaction!

It went really well! Advantage Construction was very easy to work with, showed up when expected, no surprises, overall a great experience. Highly recommended!

Very satisfied. Roof was done when scheduled. There was slight delay on the gutter repair and replacement due to a very heavy schedule following area summer thunderstorms.

Great! Local, no pressure, easy to work with, detailed. Great experience.

Work went great. Larger roof that was done in one day. Clean up was impeccable. Advantage Construction didn't use a roll off dumpster, they used their own dumpster trailer that came with the crew that morning, and left that afternoon when they were done. Couldn't have been happier!

Brandon Burch, our project manager, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was very professional and provided us all the information we needed to help us initiate a claim with our insurance company for hail damage to our roof. He also was very helpful helping us decide on new shingles, and suggesting that we upgrade to the next level of shingles for a cost of $300. He met our adjuster at the house and worked closely with the insurance company to facilitate the claim. Brandon responded to our calls promptly, and answered our questions honestly. His crew showed up when he said they would, and worked very hard to complete our large, steep roof in two and a half days. They did a great job and cleaned up both as they worked and as soon as they were done. The roof looks great. I would hire this company again to work on my house in an instant, and would ask for Brandon to oversee the project.

Chaz Bakke, our project manager was very professional from start to finish. He oversaw every detail & kept us updated on the progress throughout. He brought many samples for us to choose from & explained every product in detail. Chaz was knowledgeable on all products & answered our questions immediately. Chaz & his team worked with our insurance company & handled the necessary paperwork quickly so the project was not delayed. The subcontractors used were extremely professional, thorough and their work was exemplary.? We are extremely satisfied with the service we received from Chaz & Advantage Construction. We highly recommend them!

Chaz, our contact with Advantage Construction, managed the entire process from initial inspection, meeting with us to review shingle options, communicating with our homeowner's insurance company, and working with us at the final inspection to explain all of the details of work.  Chaz was professional and responsive and continuously communicated every detail throughout the entire process.  The crew that performed the work was also very professional.  They were fast and respectful of our property and home. Their quality and workmanship exceeded our expectations!

The initial steps towards starting the work to be done was great. Chaz Bekke was very helpful in explaining the process ahead. He was easy to contact through phone calls and texting from beginning to end. I had many questions and he was always patient, even when I changed my color choices a few times. When the re-roofing job started the crew was fast, efficient, and polite. They did an amazing job and the roof looks great. Their cleanup efforts were just as commendable, and Chaz came by and did another sweep for nails in the grass. With children about that was important to me.

Once my choices were made, and the siding arrived, the work commenced. That crew was also great, arrived early, worked steady all day and did an incredible job, right down to the details.   My house has been transformed and updated. I love it. So many compliments from friends, family and neighbors. People slow down and gawk as they drive by. The whole experience was stress free thanks to the guys at Advantage Construction, and especially Chaz. I am so glad I chose the right company and will not hesitate to hire them again.

Advantage Construction, Bethel, MN, personnel worked closely with the USAA insurance company in making repairs to my home in keeping with the estimated costs of repair. It involved a number of communications via iphone and emails, Chaz Bakke my consultant and Advantage assured my needs were met .They did it promptly.  The work done by their subcontractors was excellent and timely. Mostly I was pleased with their ability to professionally and expertly handle the somewhat complicated adjustments in the transactions with the insurance company, something not everyone is familiar with. All of their personnel were outstanding to work with, especially their field personnel.  I would not hesitate to recommend this firm and its personnel.

Punctual, the 4 man crew worked 2 long days on the roof.  When complete, it looked great and they had cleaned up all the roofing scraps and nails.

Advantage Construction was awesome to work with-- from start to finish! 



Right from the introduction, project manager Matt Heisick and his associates were straight forward, honest and knowledgeable.  I purposely did not sign with anyone to get my work done immediately after the storm because there were so many "local" contractors (that I had never heard of before) running around the neighborhood knocking on doors and pressuring neighbors to sign with them  that it was confusing and you didn't know which way to turn or who to trust.  I almost signed with one of them, but when I told them I wanted to think it over, they said they didn't have time for me to do that.  That's when I decided to wait and get some referrals first.



When Matt stopped by, he was forthcoming with a list of referrals in our area and right in my neighborhood.  He was patient while I took time to call many of them and ask about the work Advantage Construction did, whether they were satisfied and would they hire them again.   Simply put, all willingly said YES.



While explaining the contract, Matt and the company owner sat down with my wife and I and explained everything in detail AND in very simple terms that made us feel very comfortable about signing their contract.  They worked with our insurance company, State Farm, so that we didn't have to worry about any of that.  It looked to me like Advantage Construction had a very good working relationship with the insurance company.  I felt good about that, and even the smallest details were negotiated in our favor.



The roofing crew was impeccable!  They were efficient and did awesome work, even painting an existing flue pipe to match the new vents that were installed.  They were friendly and did a great job cleaning up (Matt even helped!).  Follow-up, communication and answers to our questions and concerns were always prompt and always with our satisfaction in mind.



When it came to the billing they were patient, as I had to get multiple checks endorsed by CitiMortgage.  And the best part, at the final invoice... there were NO SURPRISES.  It was exactly as we had discussed and agreed upon!



So ask me if I am satisfied with Advantage Construction and would I hire them again?  Simply put, YES!

It was a little unsettling at first to have contractors (multiple) ringing our bell immediately following a hail storm.  The provider representative was very friendly, however, and offered a lot of good advice.  The provider was promt for our many meetings and always had the materials needed.  Throughout the process, the provider provided sound advice and guidance.  The roofing job took one day and job site was well cleaned up upon completion.  We have been very pleased with this contractor--as have the many neighbors who used them (we all got hit by the hail).

The work went exceptionally well.  Our contact person (Chaz Bakke) was always available if we had questions.  He was on site when the work began on the roof and continued to contact us periodically until all the work was done.  When we chose this contractor at the beginning, Chaz sat down with us and very clearly explained what we could expect and how soon we could expect it.  And he made sure that what he explained to us really did happen!  The construction site was left as clean after the work was done as it was before the work started.  We were very pleased and have already referred this company to our neighbors.

Advantage was great!  Chaz put together a competitive estimate, provided timely, personal service, and our gutters went up flawlessly and really tackle these tough Minnesota summer storms.

We knew we needed a new roof, however, the cost of getting a new one made it impossible.  One day Chaz from Advantage Construction knocked on our door and informed us that our roof was actually an old "defective" type of shingle and that we could possibly qualify for a new roof.  He met with our insurance agent the next afternoon and within an hour everything was taken care of.  All we would have to do was pay our deductible and pick out our new shingles.  Chaz kept in contact and even scheduled the new roof to be put on on a Saturday, since I do home daycare and the loud noise would scare the kids.  Everything was handled so friendly and professionally, always answering my questions and concerns.  Chaz explained everything and I learned so much through this whole process!  He also informed us about a refund from the shingle company for the "defective" shingles, and handled all the paperwork for that too!  Everything couldn't have been handled any better, we will definitely use Advantage Construction again!

Well first off we had Organic shingles and we been fighting with the insurance company for the last 3 years and had how many other local construction companies come out to help and the two other ones was a waste of time. The first one never tried to get back to us and the second one said " ill try to help you guys but insurance companies won't pay out for organic shingles ". Then our insurance company gave us 30 days to replace the roof or they will cancel our policy. Well of course we didn't have thousands of dollars to replace it in 30 days. So we got a new insurance company and only had for a few months and still had this roof that was falling apart cause they where organic shingles. Then in the early fall there was a guy driving around from Advantage construction inc truck and this guy gets out of his truck and I just wanted to close the garage door cause I was tired of these construction guys, they can't even help us. So he came up the driveway and was talking to me about my roof and I was surprise cause when I told them about the organic he was all in it to try to help after I told him all about our nightmare. I called him back after a few days and talked with Chaz Bakke from Advantage Construction Inc that he is the project Manager that came out to my house. He was at our house when my insurance company came out to inspected our roof and he came 2 hours earlier marking the roof and was dealing with him after a few minutes he gave me the GREAT NEWS that the insurance is paying for it. I couldn't believe it......finally after 3 years we getting our roof replace. Chaz was making sure he was always checking in and telling me how the progress was when we where waiting for the mortgage company with the claim check to sign it over. Chaz was outstanding and when his team came out they where very respectful and Very Clean and fast and had our roof repace in just 1 day.... and explaining what they where doing and why. Our new roof looks incredible good.....they did not take any short cuts and later that evening everything was cleaned up even the dumpster. I couldn't have been more happy with his service and his team. I highly would recommend Advantage Construction Inc and ask for Chaz Bakke the Project Manager for roofing and siding or gutters.

Chaz has the ability to be both professional and very personal. This was a very stressful and difficult time for us and it really helped knowing we could count on Chaz for answers and information. His warm personality put our minds at ease. He worked extremely well with the insurance adjuster. They made a great team.
We never felt like we were pestering or bothering Chaz with our many phone calls asking lots of questions. He was always there for us. It is not always easy to put your trust in someone you have never met, but it wasn't long and we knew we were in good hands. Chaz demonstrated honesty and integrity throughout the process.
It surprised us when we heard he had been doing this line of work just a short period of time. We thought he had been doing this for a longer period of time.
The roofing team that did the work were awesome! They worked very hard and by the time they were done, a person would never know they were there, except for the beautiful new roof. They picked up the mess and we were very satisfied with their hard work, fine manners and the awesome finished project.
Our neighbor also needed a new roof and we did not hesitate recommending Advantage Construction, especially Chaz.
We were very satisfied with the whole process and extremely happy with the finished new roof!
