The Design-Build Difference

One team from first sketch to final walkthrough

We don't just care about your home. We care about you.

When design and construction are split between different firms, schedules slip, budgets swell, and you end up refereeing disputes. Advantage puts the entire project under one accountable roof.

Founded in 2009 by brothers-in-law Greg Wade and Andy Schafer, our team pairs Greg's custom cabinetry and design eye with Andy's project management and carpentry background. You get one partner, one plan, and one crew that treats your home like their own.

Our Process

Here's how it works

A remodel should not feel like chaos. Ours runs on a fixed-price contract, Chief Architect renderings, and a communication plan you can set your watch to.

01

Meet the Experts

Schedule a consultation with our award-winning design and remodeling team. We listen first, then walk your space and talk goals, scope, and budget honestly.

02

Personalize Your Design

We create a 3D design of your new space with Chief Architect drawings and real selections, so you see exactly what you are getting before construction starts.

03

Remodel Your Home

Once design and budget are locked, our crew gets to work with daily cleanup, HEPA dust control, and a dedicated project lead who keeps you in the loop.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

One team owns design, planning, budgeting, and construction. Fewer handoffs, clear accountability, and better control of scope, cost, and quality.

Most kitchens and primary baths run 8 to 12 weeks once construction starts. Larger structural work and whole-home projects run longer. The timeline accounts for ordering and lead times, plus key milestones with updates throughout.

We build the scope and pricing from defined details and real selections during planning. Once planning is complete, we use a fixed-price contract. Any scope change is written, priced, and approved before work moves forward.

You review Chief Architect drawings and renderings during design and development. We finalize key decisions before the job starts, so you know exactly what you are getting.

We set containment, floor protection, and daily cleanup standards, and use HEPA air filtration that captures about 90 percent of airborne dust particles. You also get a clear communication plan so you know what is happening and when.

We provide a two-year limited workmanship warranty starting at substantial completion. Manufacturer and supplier warranties are assigned to you as well.
