EXCELLENT Based on 20 reviews Posted on Google Mariam NurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Advantage Design Build to complete our basement renovation. Their team executed the project efficiently and within the established timeline. They possess extensive knowledge and demonstrate exceptional attention to detail. We are thoroughly satisfied with the results and intend to work with Advantage Design Build for any future renovations, confident that they will deliver high-quality work.Posted on Google Randolf EliasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan, James and crew delivered top quality for a reasonable price. This is the third time we’ve hired this company for renovation work. We trusted this company to execute as requested, advised on issues/questions and clean up after every visit. We’ve never had issues that Dan could not resolve. Thank-you and highly recommended!Posted on Google wayne huchukTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hired Advantage to complete a small area in the basement with a powder room. They showed up 3 weeks earlier than expected and finished the job on budget and on time. The Advantage team was excellent to work with. They cleaned the area every night and always informed us when they would be returning. Great JobPosted on Google Brian ReillyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd give them 6 stars if Google would let me. Dan, James and the crew we're wonderful to work with and their finished product was spot on with our original design plus some innovative flair they supplied along the way. We had a completely raw basement in a 5-year old house. Their work included a bathroom, bedroom, family room (specialty sound-proofing), exercise and hobby space, workshop and utilities closet. Design - we had the basic idea but Dan provided vital advice about what was and wasn't doable as well as making suggestions for consideration. In the end, we got the design we wanted but better thanks to Dan's input. Dan was one of four bidders on the project and won based on his personality, experience, history of completed projects, design input, and price estimate. Work process - we were provided with a 5-month timeline and that timeline was met. The team was at our door at 8 a.m. like clockwork every day. They cleaned up each evening and we were invited to drop in anytime to ask questions or just observe the work. The team did everything (studs/forms, insulation, duct work, drywall/mudding, doors/windows, floor trenching for plumbing, tiling, resilient channel for soundproofing, painting, etc.). Only subbed out for electrical and core plumbing. Nothing like having one key team from beginning to end. The quality of the work was uniformly excellent. Up for challenges - we wanted a custom built-in fireplace and wall of built-in bookcases and cupboards. We also had a challenging specification for bathroom tiling. They delivered. Cost estimating - It's a sign of experience and competence when the finished project is on-budget. There was no "nickel and diming" along the way. Warranty - There is a 2-year warranty on the work. We've asked them for a few adjustments over the first year and they were quickly on-site to address them. We feel lucky to have met Dan and James. They are my go to for any future work. I recommend them 1,000%.Posted on Google John MacInnisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Dan and team on our basement renovation. They were easy to deal with, open, on time, clean and did great quality work! I would gladly recommend them for your renovation needs.Posted on Google terry scottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks to Dan, James and the crew of Advantage. Our addition/main floor remodel was managed, professionally, on time and 0n budget. The craftsmanship outstanding. I would highly recommend Dan, James and the crew, a pleasure to work with. ALL THE BEST. Terry ScottPosted on Google Paul HaslamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan, James and team did amazing work for us in a whole house renovation from the studs up. We were trying to modernize a mid-century (1965) two-story detached home, with a more modern and Scandinavian look inside and out - the results were exceptional and we've received many complements about the finished result. Photos are available on their Instagram feed. The quality of their work was exemplary throughout, and they were very attentive to getting the details right. They also completed the project on time and on budget (despite the fact it was a 6-8 month project). Moreover, Dan, James and team have remained very attentive to any questions we've had after the completion of the build. That kind of attentiveness to customer satisfaction is truly unique in the industry.Posted on Google Patrick DussaultTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have engaged Advantage Design Build on numerous projects. They have consistently exceeded expectations. Advantage Design Build was chosen to handle several renovation projects: One project entailed a complete “tear-down” and rebuild of a basement guest room and ensuite. The end result was a well designed bedroom that maximized the available space and resulted in a showpiece ensuite bathroom/shower. In I have always been consistently impressed with their workmanship and the quality of the materials and appointments chosen by Advantage Design Build.Posted on Google James ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We moved into our wonderful custom built new home at Maclarens Landing a week ago and are so impressed and felt right at home right away. We worked closely with Dan Buckley and his team over the past year, and everything from initial consultation and referral to an architect right through to final touch finessing was a pleasure and very educational! Dan was very respectful of our wishes and choices but gave us great advice and practical suggestions. His entire team is top rate, and the subcontractors he recommended also did great quality work and were professional, accommodating and cheerful. Our location and site considerations were challenging for sure, but we ended up with exactly what we wanted and were impressed by Dan's ability to work around any logistical issue that arose. His expertise in all issues to do with permitting and inspections was invaluable. He is also an excellent business manager, practises good communication and made the financial aspects of the project easy to deal with. The highest recommendation from us! We simply cannot be more pleased with how things all worked out.Posted on Google Teresa BuckleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we purchased our 40 year old home, we realized that it required extensive renovations throughout. We needed structural walls removed, kitchen and bath remodels, flooring etc. After contacting the Better Business Bureau, we turned to Advantage Design Build. Their expertise, commitment to quality, collaboration and finished product far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend their services.
