Frustration over lack of communication with Advantage I ordered two types of decking from Advantage on July 4. Since then a situation has arisen due to a miscommunication that has been a huge pain. I emailed Advantage on July 6 about adding wood to my order and was told they were out of it. But it wasn't explained that MY WOOD was out of stock. After not receiving the decking material for a few weeks I spoke with two different reps who assured me they were looking into the situation. Ultimately I was told that Advantage was out of the wood available to fulfill my order. But the lack of communication has been very frustrating. And I had to do the leg work myself to find out anything. Given the situation I hoped the company would simply send the wood from another location but because of free shipping on my order they will not.

We had made an appointment in advance with Bill. He could not have been more congenial or helpful. He was so knowledgeable of the products and helpful with installation ideas. Followed up with us the next day with a quote and additional ideas and support. Great experience. We have our project of "go" thanks for all his advisement.

I bought a $20k IPE wood package from… NO WARRANTY. I bought a $20k IPE wood package from Advantage Lumber for all of 17x80 deck. It has been on for three years and treated with their expensive IPE oil every year. The deck started cracking all over with small splitting cracks. I spoke with advantage lumber today and was told their is no warranty on the wood. I had a wood professional look at the deck and he told me the wood was never dried properly. Now I have a $40k deck that looks like crap and no warranty from Advange. Would I buy something more from them again? You figure that one out. Very very disappointed. Too costly to replace again.

Modular Ipe Wood Tiles Re; Ipe Wood Tiles 24" and 20" Positive: Great Product and great Staff! Not so Positive: my suggestion is to double check the trimming closeness of the subsurface battens in the ipe tiles so that when assembled the gaps are consistant from tile to tile. Some tile battens were not trimmed flush to the edge of the ipe planks and thus threw-off the alignment (gap) between some of the modules. This is an issue that can be corrected through the quality control/inspection process. Thanks, Marc

Business during COVID Placed a simple $405 order, including roughly $170 expedited shipping, for IPE samples to be sent to my construction site. Several weeks later - - nothing. No materials, no response from email customer service. LONG waits on the phone trying to track the order. Customer service telling me they will "speak to a supervisor and call me back"...No return call. I will apparently need to contact my credit card, claim fraud and dispute the charge. Just the worst company - massive waste of time.. 12/7/2020 I was contacted twice soon after posting this review, which I really appreciate. The emails were apologetic, blunt and honest. Apparently this company has been especially hard hit by COVID and shortages, both labor and lumber. I've been offered help and will update as this progresses. I'm under the gun on an expensive project and am hopeful.
