## About

### Houzz Badges

- 1,000 Ideabook Saves

Our goal at Advantes Development is bringing modern charm into older homes. We combine a love for architecture and design with over ten years of development experience. Our renovation process preserves the classic aspect of the home while giving owners all the aspects of modern design. 

Advantes Development works directly with homeowners to transform classic homes in some of the most historic neighborhoods around the greater St. Louis area. Owner Brian Minges and lead designer Gretchen Minges will work hand in hand with homeowners to create a custom home of their dreams.

Our passion for architecture is matched only by our love for beautiful design. We work to preserve the classic elements of older homes by integrating them into modern remodels. Materials are selected to specifically enhance the merging of both old and new designs.

The Advantes Group's design process begins with an initial consult of the home with our design team to establish scope, style, and direction. Our design team will then collaborate with the homeowners to produce a custom home of their dreams with budget and everyday needs in mind. The construction timeline is closely monitored and supervised by our construction management team to ensure an ideal finished product.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Ericson, Dec. 2017**

> Advances is the best! I can't remember when it took longer than 15 minutes to receive a response to a question.  Brian and Gretchen do what they say and stick to timelines better than any contractor I've ever worked with. I cannot recommend anyone more fervently.

**★★★★★ — K L, April 2017**

> Working with Advantes group was a one of a kind experience.  It was a no brainer in choosing this group as their passion and attention to detail pales in comparison to surrounding competitors.  As stressful as it is to completely remodel your home, they were always patient and fun to work with.  We believe trust and experience is one of the most important aspects in finding the right builder and we had this with Advantes the whole way.  They truly made our house a home.

**★★★★★ — Ashley Nelson, March 2017**

> We had a great experience with our basement remodel. They were responsive, timely, and helpful with design decisions. Mark was very patient and on top of the construction.
