HEAR ME CLEARLY, If I could give zero stars, I would. Melvin Alexander (Dirt Cheap Advantage) is…read morethe most unprofessional and dishonest remodeling contractor I have ever hired. He was paid 50% upfront (over $8,000) via wire transfer, misled me about the price of construction materials (cabinets, etc.), and provided nothing but excuses and delays. LISTEN TO ME...Don't be fooled by the 3D Rendering mockup he provides. It's all a show!! The renovation his so-called crew (unqualified and unlicensed) performed was shoddy and unsafe (wrong screws, multiple random holes in my wall-one that punctured my electrical cords that power my AC unit, etc.), handling tasks that should only be completed by licensed, skilled and COMPETENT contractors. After bringing in certified electricians and HVAC technicians to evaluate the remodeling work (due to being without AC for nearly 48 hours which was caused by his incompetent crew), I was strongly advised by my electrician, HVAC specialist , and close friend who's an electrical engineer, to stop the project entirely for safety as well as professional reasons. He caused more damage to my home and ripped our drywall that should have never been removed...never! Though I was stern and adamant about my budget not exceeding a certain amount, he made repeated attempts to change my mind. Also, he lied about his knowledge of and ability to sand hardwood floors...no one is an expert in everything but he pretends to be. In my opinion, this company deliberately targets single women and exploits them with poor workmanship and lies. Though he came highly recommended by a coworker, I discovered that he only performed a small job but never actually repaired/replaced anything inside of his home. The ONLY reason I decided to award him the job (over $16,000) is because of my coworker's recommendation and my urgent need to renovate/repair my kitchen before I was scheduled to deploy again (first responder and emergency manager). Time was of the essence for me, so I leaped before I looked (conducted research and asked for other references). Trust, I will NEVER do that again. I've lost over $4,000, which he never sent back (all materials never purchased-I have proof). Also, after doing some digging, seeking counsel from an attorney friend, and contacting the GA Board of Contractors, I discovered that his shady business was DISSOLVED by the State of GA in June of 2025 (it's public record...visit the Sec. of State's website, you'll find it there). His business is not even recognized as a valid or legitimate business in the state of GA where he's operating. I also discovered a few other things that I can't speak on due to an open and on-going investigation. All in all, do yourself a favor: hire a reputable, honest, licensed PROFESSIONAL for your home renovation or remodeling needs -- NOT THIS ONE. There is sooo much more I could share pertaining to my experience, which turned into an absolute nightmare. I may have lost over $4,000, but my goal is to make sure no one is bamboozled, robbed and lied to in the way I have been. Don't take my word for it...I have undeniable proof, which is why I contacted the GA Board of General and Residential contractors and have decided to fight instead of allowing this person who lacks character and integrity to get away with wrongdoing. Before you hire this SHADY and unprofessional man, THINK TWICE and take heed to what I've said. I have NO reason to lie. I can tell you about my experience as well as that of others...just email me at JUSTASKGAME@GMAIL.COM. If my testimonial can help someone make a wise and well-informed decision, I am more than willing to be of assistance. AGAIN, DO your research (Sec. of State website, etc.), ask for references you can speak with, BUY YOUR OWN MATERIALS (MOST IMPORTANT), and don't ignore red flags like I did! Better safe than sorry!

Heather Moll-Dunn Landscape and Garden Designer

I hired Heather back in October 2022 to do a walk-through of my property. I am a novice -- more…read morelike a zygote -- to anything having to do with planting or keeping things with roots alive. I have two acres and many restrictions regarding what might grow on it (including, but not limited to: my inexperience, deer, more rock than soil, little sun...). Not only did Heather have those restrictions to contend with, I wanted to do the work myself and require little enough that I could realistically maintain what I created even though I have a day job. Heather met the challenge with such knowledge and gentleness. I would send her long texts despairing that I was approaching a certain aspect incorrectly, or worried that it wasn't going to work, or that I wasn't even using the correct tool for the job.. She was patient, detail-oriented (while making sure she didn't overwhelm) and has for all intents and purposes been in my pocket, available for any need, the entire time. She did a great job of understanding what it was I was wanting to accomplish -- with me trying to describe without knowing any of the appropriate terms. She has been -- and continues to be -- the knowledgable crutch I have needed to, for the first time in my life, create an outside space that I am already proud of. Thank you, Heather!

I hired Heather to do a landscape plan for my backyard. We are DIY-ers and just needed a loose…read moreplan, something we could implement ourselves. I wanted to know which plants would be best for our shady backyard and what was feasible given that our backyard slopes quite a bit down to a creek. She came to my house and took some some pictures, asked what we were looking for. Heather gave us the perfect plan for our family. Low maintenance (no mowing a lawn!), perfect for the shade, kid and pet friendly. We're not huge fans of the playground sets that are always in backyards, we just feel like they start decaying the minute you put them in. So she came up with a really cool rock yard area, where kids could climb and jump on boulders. But without the maintenance and eyesore of a playground set. Heather is super laid back. And really just a sweet kind person. She will definitely continue to be our point person as we dig into this project.

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing for several reasons. The main reasons was his lack of planning for the amount of material required to complete the job and failing to return to complete the project. As of 29 October 25, he and/or his team has yet to complete the project. I have called, texted and emailed him numerous times with no response. This lack of action prompted me to search online for reviews of this company and what I found on numerous sites was that Mr Money (Alex) has failed to complete numerous other customer's projects. Shame on me for putting my trust in him. Now I have to spend more money to contract another company to finish the job.

They even worked carefully around the structures we wanted to keep and connected us with other companies to help with our patio redesign. We couldn't be happier with how quick and smooth the excavation and site prep went. The area is now ready for the next stage of the project. I would definitely recommend them if you live in Newnan or anywhere in Coweta County.
