"I have used Advantage construction on a number of occasions. From a whole house flip, to structural repairs, to bathroom and kitchen remodels, they always do a professional job. I have been super pleased and would use them again!"

"Roland came out the same day I requested a quote. The work was scheduled next business day. Both he and his team were timely, courteous, and professional. He was straightforward about the scope of the work and updated me in advance of any changes. The quality of the final work excellent."

"Jimmy was fantastic with his work and communication. I've had contractors + builders that could go days without communicating. Jimmy always got back in an appropriate amount of time. The work his team was fantastic. They converted our dining room to a home office and remodeled all three of our bathrooms."

"Tim was great and easy to work with. He showed up when he said he would and communicated effectively. He painted out exterior shutters and they look great. He provided a quote prior to and kept to the agreed upon price."

"The entire trim had to be removed and replaced.  While this sounds simple the workers had to install a roof jack type scaffold due to the angle of the roof.   The trim was removed, replaced, sealed and painted.  The workers were very thorough and cleaned up as if they were never there.

"Because of well-documented evidence (and a class-action lawsuit) regarding the occurrence of spontaneous leaks with polybutylene plumbing, we decided to have our entire house re-plumbed before we were faced with a leak which could cause major damage.  Since the job would include not only plumbing work, but also sheetrock repair, some tile repair (to re-plumb our tub), and repainting, I felt that it would best to hire a general contractor.  We also decided to have our hot water heater relocated from the attic to the garage at the same time.  Of the 4 contractors we requested estimates from, Chester was the only one who came out with his plumber (Jeff DeSantis) to look at the job.  Together, they looked through the entire house, from crawl space to the attic, to try to figure out the existing plumbing (which, of course, is not visible, except for kitchen and bathroom fixtures) and work out a plan to tie into those lines and where new lines would be placed.  Before they left, and before I had an estimate, I had a pretty good idea of where demolition was going to be needed, and what to expect in the way of any inconveniences  while work was in progress.
The work started and ended on the agreed-upon dates (the end date was a bit of an estimate, but turned out to be exactly what was planned).  Jeff seemed to be a bit of a perfectionist, which was fine by me.  He plumbed the house to improve the flow of hot water so that it (hot water) would get to the most distant parts of the house more quickly than previously.  The guys who cut the sheet rock (walls and ceiling in various rooms throughout the house) did an amazing job keeping the dust to a minimum ... same with the sheet rock repair after the plumbing work was completed.  We had only 36 hours without water ... we've had worse experiences post some of the hurricanes here over the last 20 years.  Over a period of 9 working  days, we experienced only 2 issues, one of which was truly quite minor, when I was told that insulation under the house, which had been removed to access and replace some of the existing old piping, had been put back with new fiberglass batts that I had supplied, and I was asked to inspect that portion of the job ... I found that a section in the crawl space under the first floor, had been left completely without any fiberglass batts and was completely exposed to the outside ambient temperatures.  I'm still baffeled as to how/why the worker who was on that part of the job could have felt that it was ok to leave that area without any insulation.  Chester, upon seeing it, obviously agreed that that part of the job would need to be re-done, which was far more difficult to do than what it probably seems like to the reader (for reasons not worth explaining), but re-done it was, I think the next day, the correct way.  Second issue which we experienced concerned replacement of some tile which had to be cut out in order to reach the plumbing for our master bathroom tub.  The replacement tiles which Chester had obtained were not a very good color match for what was already in place.  My concern is not so much the color mis-match itself, as it is that I was not told that they were unable to find a better color match until the guy doing the tiles was already putting them into place.  I would have much preferred to know about it ahead of time, than find out after the tile guy was about to put the off-color tiles in place.  Speaking with Chester about it, he indicated that he had done a thorough search in the New Hanover area, trying to find a better color match, but also stated that if I could find tiles that were a better color match, he would be more than willing to come back and have them installed, with the cost of that work included in the original contract price. Much to my surprise, I was able to find some tiles which do have a closer color match ... they come from a well known business here in New Hanover, so I do have to wonder why Chester wasn't able to find them himself. (???) Nevertheless, they are being installed today, 3.5 months after the job was initially begun.  All the workers were quite considerate of our presence while they did they work, they cleaned up every day, and I had no real concerns regarding their activity or presence while we tried to go about our daily lives around them.  All in all, the work went quite will, with much less disruption of our daily routines than what I had expected.  Overall grade would be an A minus (minus, because of the tile issue).

"Not well. Called to make appointment, had to book several months in advance. As  the date grew closer, concerned as contractor never came out to review job or provide estimate on additional services. Overall, lack of communication."
