Advantage Home Contracting

John and his team did an outstanding job replacing my old siding with beautiful board and batten. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and paid close attention to the details that really make the house stand out. The quality of the workmanship is top-notch, and the transformation completely exceeded my expectations. John was great to work with—clear communication, honest, and truly takes pride in his work. I couldn’t be happier with the final result and would highly recommend John and his team to anyone looking to upgrade their siding.

These guys rebuilt my nextdoor neighbors' deck and it looks amazing, so I had them do mine this past summer; I absolutely love it. It was a huge project--my deck is pretty big, and two stories--so there were 2-4 guys out every day for quite a stretch and they were a pleasure to have around. Jerry, Tyler, Buck, and Carl did terrific work in addition to being friendly, polite, and considerate, even on hundred-degree days :-) The price of the job was very reasonable and they got it built as quickly as it could be done well, no disappearing for days or mysterious breaks in the middle of the job. Highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again for my front porch. One thing I will point out to anyone considering Advantage Handyman for a big project: when I paid my deposit to secure the contract, I put it on my credit card. At that time, no mention was made of sharing the credit card number with anyone else, or billing anything to it automatically. Months later, when the guys arrived to start the job, I asked the project manager how much I owed at that time, and he quoted me the figure from our contract, a third of the total labor estimate; I gave him a check for that amount, and assumed I would receive an invoice for the materials at some point later on. I was *stunned* to then discover, a couple of days later, a $12k charge on my credit card--Advantage had shared my credit card # with Better Living and opened a tab. I found this practice to be completely insane; not only was I not given a heads-up that this charge was about to be applied, I wasn't even asked whether that was how I wanted to pay for what we all knew was going to be an extremely large amount. It's one thing to put a deposit on a card, another to put a whole deck on it, and while I ultimately decided to go ahead and do that, if I'd been consulted before the charges started going through--because of course, there were many more to follow--I would likely have made a different choice. So if you decide to go with these guys, just be very clear with the folks in the office about what payment method you want to use and when they're going to start charging you for things (and how much at a time!) to save yourself a shock...and potentially getting declined. On the plus side, I guess this practice shows they're not marking up materials.

We contracted Advantage Home Contracting to do a small remodeling project and interior painting. We are very pleased with the work they did. The crews were very reliable, professional, and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, from the free estimate to the project execution, thanks to the management of Tony Zabukovec, who was himself frequently present on site to supervise the various tasks, ensuring that all the items in the contract were completed and that they were done to our specifications and preferences. Tony immediately understood what we wanted to do and came up with a plan and an estimate. We would like to thank Tony and his wonderful crews for doing a great job, for making our new home look more beautiful, and for the efficient way they carried out the work. We highly recommend this business.

I never leave reviews, but I’m making this one exception because Sean, John and the whole team did an exceptional job building our screen porch out in Madison County. No detail was too small, and Sean and John‘s advice was always excellent. From the stamped concrete floor, to the seamed metal roof and copper gutters no detail was ignored. And the overall result, with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside, is just spectacular. Thank you so much!
