While our project manager Cameron is still the best and I would love to work with him again I would not recommend getting windows done through Advantage. They subcontracted out to Kolbe windows which were subpar. The quality of the windows and hardware are terrible, worse than our original windows. After less than a year we had multiple cracks and their customer service was basically non existent trying to get them to rectify the situation. I wish we had saved our $60,000 and kept our original windows or at least shopped around on our own to find a quality window company. read more

Cameron at Advantage Construction saved us! We had a North Branch insurance agent quoting us new insurance have a roofer get up on our roof. He told us we needed our roof replaced due to a hail storm that happened nearly a year ago. I had the great experience of contacting someone else, a local roofing company called Advantage Construction, who had INTEGRITY AND ETHICS. Cameron came out and did an extremely thorough inspection and let us know in no uncertain terms that the roof was still in great condition. He was a wonderful representation of his company. They will be at the top of my list for any future storms or in a few years when we are going to replace it. I am really grateful for the good guys out there. I consider these guys a great choice. Thanks Cameron. read more

Incredibly rude. Driver of truck stopped in the middle of the road to chat with another guy. Wouldn't move. Local traffic was forced to turn around. Blocking the entire street for no reason. read more

Run. Run fast. This company will not do what they said they would. Hired them in May to replace three windows, do some siding and gutters. It's November. They have held close to 30k in funds and done absolutely none of the work. I fired them today. Do NOT trust them. The location shows CA due to VPN, but I'm in Shakopee and local. This is 100% my experience. They won't do what they say and their GM Daniel just tells you "it is what it is". Classy. read more

Summer, 2018 Advantage replaced the roofs in Colby Lake Townhouse association. Part of the roof installation was done incorrectly and the roofers left gaping holes in the siding of many homes. Due to the gaping holes left by the roofers, many homes sustained extensive water intrusion / interior damage on Spring, 2019. A certified home inspector inspected the holes and took photos which were sent to the Colby Lakes HOA and the management company. In Fall, 2019, Advantage reported they had repaired and sealed up the holes their roofers left in the siding. Well on Sunday, I climbed up a ladder and took photos of the holes. They were not repaired and they were not sealed up. That was a lie. I have attached the photos. read more

Corey D helped me with insurance claim. He worked hard to make process go well. I have a nice new roof thanks to Advantage.

One pleasant afternoon a man knocked on our front door. The man introduced himself as an employee of Advantage Construction, Inc. and offered us a free no obligation hail damage assessment. Normally, we just send those men on their marry way and close the door. But not this time, unfortunately. Coincidentally, we had a roofing contractor over just a few hours prior to this unsolicited visit to give us an estimate on some vents. That other person mentioned that there may be a few insignificant hail spots, but nothing serious enough to try to get reimbursed. We explained it to the Advantage guy, but he was persistent. We thought, what harm would it do to have a second opinion? The Advantage guy went up on the roof and eventually returned with a story of his own. Apparently, our roof had much much more serious damage that the first roofing guy realized. The Advantage guy took out his phone and showed us some pictures. The visually enhanced spots looked like moon craters. The first guy must have been blind to miss that? Then, the Advantage guy turned on sweet talk and convincingly explained to us that we have at least 75% chance to get fully reimbursed for the entire roof on the first try. In case, we'll get our claim denied on the first try, not to worry, we can always appeal to get a second opinion. And then it's almost a sure thing. Believe me, I'm not easily fooled by overzealous salesmen, but the guy had a convincing technique (probably polished over the years and perfected by collective experience), so he was able to convince us that his opinion is actually trust worthy. Long story short, we proceeded to submit a claim with our insurance company and had an adjuster stopping over a week or so later. The adjuster reported back some very minor damages that any aging roof would have and certainly way below our deductible. We were certainly disappointed, but the Advantage guy said not to worry. He suggested to submit an appeal. While we were having those conversations, our annual house insurance renewal letter had arrived. Sure enough, our premium went UP close to 30%. Thanks, the Advantage guy. My wife almost lost it. Year-over-year, our premium would normally go up 2-3% tops, but not to worry. There are always some helpful individuals out there to push you toward a more sizable premium. Naturally upset, we contacted our insurance company to see what exactly caused such a gargantuan increase. We were told that since we now have a claim on our record, even though they didn't pay a penny to us, the premium still gone up because the claim is there. Next, we contacted the Advantage guy to see what to do next and to find out what would happen if we won't succeed in our appeal. The Advantage guy immediately went dark and we received an email from the company's rep ordering us to stop any communication with not-so-helpful-any-longer Advantage guy. As a parting gift the company offered several opinions on how this is completely our fault. The opinions were wrapped up into a nice package, which lead us to believe that we are not their first angry clients and they had plenty of time to download few things off of a legal services portal. Advantage opinion: you may have had prior claims, which may have affected your premium. Fact: we never filed a claim in our life prior to the Advantage guy showing up at our door steps. Advantage opinion: it's extremely unlikely that the insurer would raise the premium on a single storm claim for a customer in good standing. Fact: the rate was raised due specifically to that claim, so it's extremely likely. Advantage opinion: it is impossible for that rate hike responsibility to be passed onto a company that did a free no obligation inspection. Fact: It is certainly possible to pass on that responsibility, if we'll be able prove that we were misled by misrepresented inspection results. We are in contact with our attorney and will certainly try to pursue this as far as we can. Interestingly enough, we had two roofing contractors over since this debacle took place to get some additional estimates. Both are licensed roofing contractors (and not general contractors that don't specialize in anything in particular). One of the contractors explained to us how this actually works. Most roofing and general contractors offer free no obligation roof inspections. There is nothing really wrong with that. Where it really gets out of control is when some unscrupulous fast talking salesmen come down from that roof (while denting your gutter with their ladder, I might add) and start convincing you that your perfectly fine roof is in fact needs full replacement. Those guys can easily spot a pimple on an elephant, enlarge that pimple to the size of Mount Kilimanjaro, and then go to work on you with the only objective to convince you to file a claim. Why, do you ask, they'd waste their time on a seemingly frivolous claim? Because, it's a numbers game. read more

A tree fell on our house and left behind major damage. After I called Advantage, Brandon was over within a couple of hours to give us a bid. He was extremely thorough and always kept in contact with us. They dealt with our insurance company, and with our mortgage company and made the situation a lot less stressful! They did beautiful work! Our siding and roof made our home look brand new! So thankful that this company was able to repair the damage and grateful for the help Brandon gave us through the process! read more

Advantage Construction arranged to have the gutters installed on our new house. Chaz provided timely, personal service, and the final product looks terrific and definitely handle these tough Minnesota rain storms with ease! read more

I have used this company on two occasions within the last year. They have performed great work with no problems. The work got done in a professional and timely manner. Honestly, the difference is the Project Manager, Jordan Jensen. Most of these guys get the sale and you never here from them again. Jordan responded to all my calls and texts. He made sure everything went as it should. I would use this company again as well as refer them to others read more

We had our roof replaced by Advantage Construction and are not happy with the workmanship. Things were said that they never followed through on. We are supposed to have them put our siding on and we are concerned about the quality of the workmanship on that. There is no communication on their part. We have to contact them if we need to know what is going on with our project. As of now we would not recommend them to anybody. read more
