"Mark and his team were wonderful to work with! They were very hard working, personable, and cleaned up after themselves each step of the way. Mark's quote for the install was fair and reasonable compared to two other quotes I received and the work was completed on time. Mark answered all my questions as the work was in progress and provided excellent advice. My neighbor was so impressed with the results and how great Mark and his team were to work with, they have also arranged to have central air installed by this company."

"The pro was great and apologized for being 2 hrs late. It was the day all the work vans had a necessary upgrade. He did his work in good time and was personable and honest. My toilet had been running for about a year and was not level. He was able to level it and install a new seal and adjust the float arm. no more running toilet. He installed a new faucet so I can wash larger pots easier now in my shallow sink."

"Evergreen did a very nice job but the price was out of sight! $5000. to replace a bathtub is a lot of money. what do plumbers get per hour? This does not include any wall or hole repairs, just installing tub with new faucets and drain. maybe I don't know what the actual rate for plumbers but I think it is more than a doctor!"

"I believe Advantage to be a good company that tries hard to be an excellent company and is in most respects deserving of good reviews. I signed the line for a completely new heat pump/air handler/thermostat package. Everyone from the sales estimator to the installers to the service technicians were very motivated to do their best. It was not “plug and play” however - the new system needed multiple service techs to even get the system fired up and working. Multiple problems coming from mistakes either from the factory product or the installers did not bode well for my ten Grand purchase! I will say that all issues were resolved promptly and now the system is working fine. Again, Everone at Advantage was committed to make my experience a good one."
