We hired AP Advanced Construction to renovate our MBR shower. Benny came out to discuss our project and we found him polite and professional. He listened to what I wanted and shortly thereafter had a proposal prepared. I had been contemplating this project for quite some time, so I generally knew what I wanted. When we arrived in the AP showroom, they had a great selection and we were able to easily select our materials, all in one quick visit. The project began about a week later and only took about week from start to finish. Everyone involved in the process, from the plumbers to the tilers to the glass installers, all did great work. And I’m picky. I have worked with many tradesmen and handymen, and I would classify Benny’s project team as craftsmen. They did a beautiful job. In addition, each day they were on time, and they didn’t make a huge mess. Even though the team members do not all speak English, Benny and Gerard were easily accessible and always engaged in the project. We absolutely love our beautiful new shower and highly recommend Benny and his team at AP Advanced.

We could not be happier with the work that AP Advanced has done in our bathrooms. It was a pleasure working with Benny and Eddie, as well as all of the crew to complete two bathroom remodels. Everyone was extremely responsive to my last minute requests and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with the results. Also, the work was completed before the agreed upon end date, which was great because we had family to host. Eddie made sure the project was complete. The bathrooms came out amazing! I highly recommend AP and look forward to working with them on future home projects. Five stars is not enough. Thank you for the great experience amd fantastic work!

About 2 years ago I chose AP to completely remodel my kitchen and put down about 2,000 sq.ft. of tile throughout the main living areas of my home.The kitchen remodel included new lighting, cabinets, an island, countertops, backsplash , and even modifying walls to open up the kitchen. The final product was beautiful and lived up to my expectations. During the process, I had total faith and confidence that Benny and Artur would fulfill their promises and they did. In May of 2022, my wife and I decided it was time to remodel two bathrooms and again put down approx. 600 sq .ft. of flooring tile. in our bedroom. My bathroom remodel included expanding the shower and adding a bench, frameless glass surround, shower niches, cabinets, countertop and lighting. My wife's bathroom included lighting, tile, a soaker tub, new cabinet and countertop and a tile surround around the tub. Once again, AP did a job that came out beautifully and met my expectations. At my age , I've learned that no construction job is flawless and linear but I've also found that Benny and Artur are reliable, honest, and easy to work with, I highly recommend them for any remodeling job.

From the day Benny came out to give an estimate to the day of completion, they were nothing but professional. They said it would be approx 6 weeks from start to finish, and it was just that - and they did an excellent job. All of all my questions were answered and any concerns were quickly addressed throughout the whole remodeling process. I would absolutely hire them again.

We used AP Advanced to remodel our master bath. We were happy with the finished job and highly recommend them. Some highlights: We entered this process with a general footprint of what we wanted. The combination of Benny, their designers plus the showroom, helped us to make design / aesthetic choices that resulted in an elegant, functional new master bath. Simon and his crew did the work from demolition through final details. Simon has over 20 years of experience in remodeling. The workmanship is excellent, his tile guy is an “artist”, the rest of his crew are detail-oriented building professionals. They are good folk and we enjoyed having them work in our home. Throughout the process the crew took steps to protect our home from the unavoidable construction dust and dirt. This included a covered walking path from the garage door to the work-area and covering all furniture and surfaces in the master bedroom during demolition and early-stage (pre-tile) construction. They even sealed off the bathroom and took construction debris through the bathroom window to minimize dust in the master bedroom. We contracted on 3/31, construction started 6/1, and finished on 7/3. Simon’s crew was in our home for 7 days during this time, 6 days at the start - demo through cabinet installation plus a day to finish the details after the countertops were installed. Overall an efficient process. (Countertops require a measurement after cabinets are in place, and take 10-14 days to acquire, similar for shower glass) AP Advanced has back-office people to manage the purchasing and logistics to offer a turn-key service on a remodel job. When questions or issues arose, the were responsive. Overall—AP Advanced Construction is an excellent choice for a remodel.

My wife and I have lived in our home for 22 years without much updating so we decided to unify our flooring from rug, tile. wood in various rooms to tile throughout except bedrooms (1800 sq.ft). Additionally, we wanted to remodel our fairly large kitchen including tearing down soffits, adding recessed lighting, new appliances, the aforementioned tile and new cabinets and quartz counters. For us this was a big expensive undertaking. We got 3 quotes with AP Advanced being the last quote and the most competitive. But at this price point we needed to feel comfortable and confident in our contractor as we’ve had prior bad experiences . From the beginning Arturo and Benny provided that comfort level. Artur help us select the right components. He was patient, honest, and accessible. No matter how many times we changed our mind in the selection process, Artur always made us feel comfortable. Benny and I had a saying--”It’s got to work right, it’s got to look right” and Benny stood behind that saying 100%. There are always bumps in the road in construction and a couple of times Benny would visit and I say “does that look right” He said, “no it’s got to be better” and he proved true to his word. Our finished remodeling project is everything we expected and more. Benny said several times to me “ We’re in this for the long haul, we want you to be family”. And that’s the way we felt. AP Advanced proved that to us many times . I would recommend them without exception for any job.

We are well pleased with our new open plan kitchen. Benny was more than helpful with suggestions and Eric kept workers in line..With the covid virus going on I admit i was a little nervous but AP Advanced kept things under control and safe as possible..We would recommend this company.

I recently had my kitchen and guest bathroom remodeled by AP Advanced Construction. Throughout the entire process their staff was a pleasure to work with. Artur and Debra at the showroom were very helpful in the design process. They were able to answer all questions I had and any changes I wanted were made with ease. Benny and Eric kept me informed about when installers would at my house and what they would be doing. They also provided some helpful suggestions, like replacing the track lighting with can lights. The new lighting looks great and makes the kitchen much brighter. All of their installers were professional and I am very happy with the quality of their work. My new kitchen and bathroom look just like I pictured them after leaving the showroom. I've received many compliments from friends and family on how it looks. Thanks AP!

After living in our house unchanged for approximately 20 years combined with a disastrous water leak that occurred in our kitchen and laundry room areas, Becky and I decided it was time to remodel the entire first floor of our home. Our plans were to address the popcorn ceiling, redo the flooring, paint throughout, and completely update the kitchen and bathroom areas. We then interviewed a select group of local firms and decided upon A P Advanced Construction. This was primarily because of their unique ability to put us at ease and to identify our needs while also watching our budget. We immediately liked both Benny and Artur after we began discussing our plans. They were most helpful in guiding us along to determine exactly what we wanted and by giving us various options as to what we could update throughout the house. Debra, one of their primary contacts behind the scene, was also very helpful and kept us informed via telephone throughout the entire initial negotiation process. Once we had decided upon what we wanted to have done, the day of demolition and reconstruction finally arrived. We were excited and anxious to get started. AP’s superintendent named Eric led the team performing the actual work. He was informative and responsive throughout the process and led the remodeling like only a true expert can do. A hulk of a man named Simon led the day to day on site remodeling. He and his talented crew (Leo, Albert, Paul, and George) were possibly the best part of the process in that they are the ones that made our dream a reality. They performed their duties admirably and the final product is truly a beauty to behold! They also arrived each on time each day, cleaned up daily, and made sure everything was exactly as we wanted before they departed for the day. Needless to say, we are extremely happy with our “new” home! Because we did not move out and stayed in our home throughout the construction process, we were unable to truly appreciate the transformation until we traveled to our property in Tennessee for a short break and returned to Jacksonville. It was like we were in a different house! Let me finish by simply stating that A P Advanced Construction worked with us throughout the entire process to ensure our expectations were fully met. Yes, there were a few minor bumps along the journey. What you must analyze and base your opinion upon is how does your contractor respond to those issues and are you happy with the end result. In that regard, A P Advance shines like a star! In short, it was a great experience and a job well done!
