Custom Construction With Deep Island Roots in Summerside, PEI

Island weather tests buildings constantly, from driving rain off the Northumberland Strait to hurricane-force gusts and long freezing winters. Advanced Builders has been putting up houses, apartment buildings, and commercial spaces on Prince Edward Island since 2009, covering new and custom homes, duplexes, multifamily developments, commercial work, certified ICF foundations, home renovations, and custom carpentry. Our shop is on Industrial Crescent in Summerside, PEI, and owner Matt Kingyens is a Red Seal carpenter and 7th generation builder with 15+ years of Island work behind him. Clients across Prince County keep returning for the same reasons: schedules we hold to, sites we keep clean, and steady communication from first estimate to handover.

What We Build

NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION

NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION

Ground-up house builds managed from excavation through to final inspection, covering footings, framing, envelope, mechanical coordination, and interior finishing on a single schedule you can confidently plan a move around.
CUSTOM HOME BUILDING

CUSTOM HOME BUILDING

Homes designed around your household rather than a stock plan, with selections scheduled to the build calendar, allowances grounded in real products, and every change priced in writing before anyone builds it.
MULTIFAMILY CONSTRUCTION

MULTIFAMILY CONSTRUCTION

Fourplexes and apartment buildings constructed with proper fire separation, careful acoustic detailing, and independent servicing to each suite, so units rent quickly and good tenants stay put well past their first lease.
DUPLEX CONSTRUCTION

DUPLEX CONSTRUCTION

Side-by-side and stacked two-unit builds with a continuous rated party wall, separate meters, services and entrances, and an exterior composed so the finished building still reads as one deliberate home.
COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION

Offices, retail units, storefronts, and light industrial shops built from stamped drawings, with barrier-free access, envelope performance, and your announced opening date all treated as fixed commitments rather than moving targets.
COMMERCIAL RENOVATIONS

COMMERCIAL RENOVATIONS

Tenant fit-ups, storefront refreshes, and change-of-use conversions phased carefully around your trading hours, with sealed hoarding, dust control, and scheduled after-hours work keeping your doors open and your regular customers coming through them.
ICF FOUNDATION INSTALLATION

ICF FOUNDATION INSTALLATION

Certified insulated concrete form foundations delivering roughly R-24 whole-wall performance, stacked and braced correctly, poured in controlled lifts, then waterproofed and drained properly before any backfill touches the finished wall.
HOME RENOVATIONS

HOME RENOVATIONS

Kitchens, bathrooms, additions, basements, and whole home remodels sequenced so that nothing finished gets torn out twice, with insulation and air sealing quietly corrected while the walls are still open.
CUSTOM CARPENTRY

CUSTOM CARPENTRY

Cabinetry, built-ins, trim, stairs, mantels, and exterior millwork drawn for your particular room, field measured against the actual opening, and built to stay tight through years of Island humidity swings.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What does a general contractor actually do on a project?

    A general contractor holds the construction contract, hires and schedules every subtrade, orders materials, arranges inspections, and carries responsibility for site safety and finished quality. You deal with one accountable party rather than coordinating a dozen independent trades yourself.

  • How do I compare builders when their quotes look different?

    Compare the scope rather than the bottom line. Check allowances, exclusions, specified products, site work, and who carries the permits and disposal. Two quotes only become comparable once both describe the same building at the same standard of finish.

  • What is the difference between a general contractor and a construction manager?

    A general contractor prices the work and carries the risk of delivering it for that figure. A construction manager works for a fee, tendering trades on your behalf while you hold the individual contracts and the associated risk.

  • Should the same company handle both design and construction?

    Combining them shortens the timeline and removes the gap where drawings meet reality, since buildability gets checked continuously throughout. Separating them gives independent oversight instead. Advanced Builders works either way with clients across Summerside, PEI.

Let Us Put Something Solid on Your Lot

Every building we finish around Summerside, PEI has to answer to the same weather, the same code, and the same owners who will live or work inside it for decades, which is why we would rather do fewer projects properly than a great many of them quickly. Advanced Builders will look at your site, listen to what you are trying to achieve, and give you a straight answer about scope, sequence, and timing.
