Just like another person said, it takes both the husband and wife for them to bid a job. The guy showed up on time today, quickly asked if my wife was home. I mentioned that she got called into work. The guy refused to bid the job and chose to lose the business and left my house without bidding the job. Unbelievable!!!! Complete waste of time!!! DEFINITELY NOT A COMPANY I WANT TO BE DOING BUSINESS WITH!!!!!! read more

Advanced Exteriors are just finishing up at my house today. In all my 35 years as a homeowner, I have never, ever, seen such attention to detail, as provided by Mario and his crew. They say it's all in the preparation if you want to get it done right. And man, do these guys know it! Every little thing was addressed and "made right" before any painting even began. And talk about neat! They were beyond meticulous. They arrived on time every day and worked diligently to get the job done on schedule. They were extremely respectful of my property, while on the premises. And now, my house looks beautiful and folks have stopped to talk to me about how what a good looking finish it is. My deals with Melissa and Martin were very professional and always cordial. They have sure won me over with their "over the top" performance. Thank You Martin, Mario and Melissa on a job (extremely) well done. read more

Not my cup of tea because I like the straight-shooters, but if you think about doing business with these guys you should know the following: - when they quote you a price for your home you need to know they start really high so you must negotiate down. I did some research in advance and sure enough it held true. I got mine down to nearly half the original quote -- seriously! - read the warranties (product & labor) thoroughly as they have all sorts of outs. Seems there are lots of disclaimers to the "never paint your home again" read more

Very timely and professional. The crew had great attention to detail and communicated with us throughout the process. Our house looks better than new! So impressed with this product and the company. Highly recommend! read more

The work was performed per contract. Mario was very diligent and competent in prep and painting.

The company did a fantastic job! I could not ask for a better paint job. The real test was the rains we got last winter and it did not disappoint. The crew that did the job...do not have enough positive accolades for them. Thank you for a great job and experience. read more

I just love this company. Very clean, timely and efficient. THEIR product is amazing!!! I would highly recommend ADvanced Exteriors to anyone who is tired of painting their house every 5 years! I'm completely satisfied!! Thank you For a job well done!! JackieE read more

We needed a complete, quality foundation-to-eaves redo of the exterior of our 35 year old house and that's what we got. The work was done a couple years ago and our house continues to look like new. read more

I am in a color coma! I love this company! Carlos and Arturo did a beautiful job on our house, built in 1979 it has been painted many times. Our home looks like brand new construction thanks to these guys. 3 weeks of preping was so worth the result. Our home is sealed from top to bottem, no more air leaks. We have 3 more customers for them right now. Very professional, cleaned up everyday and they were very respectful of the people that were on the property. Thanks to all of the crew who did work on our house. read more

We recently contracted with Advanced Exteriors to restore the exterior of our home in Fallbrook. The work was started and completed as per our contract and I must say the workmanship was professional and the product, Rhino Shield, is all it was claimed to be. I have noticed that during the extremely hot months we experienced during this summer that keeping the house comfortable required much less A/C run time. Many days when the exterior temperatures reached in the high 80's that the interior stayed in the 75/76 degree range. We are confident that the Rhino Shield coating will indeed out last the 25 year warranty we received. Fred R. read more

The Advanced Exteriors Team was AWESOME to work with. Very professional, on time delivery and pleasant painting team! Best of all, my house looks great! read more

I purposely waited one year before writing a review. The owner of Advanced Exteriors came out last year (11/2017) and reviewed my exterior project and gave me an estimate. I was extremely satisfied as he moved me up on the wait list and was able to do the job last December. I am extremely satisfied a year later on the quality of the workmanship and materials used. This is by far the best prep and materials I ever decided on. My house is the best looking house in the neighborhood thanks to Advanced Exteriors. My neighbor had their house painted last year also. A year later the neighbors house looks pathetic with the paint peeling and already extremely faded. This is unbelievable. My Advanced Exterteriors job looks beautiful. Every time I am outside, people walking their dogs comment on how beautiful the house looks. I would not go anywhere else. I am an Advanced Exteriors Customer for life. They proved to me that the quality of the materials used is the best. I give them a 5 Star rating. Do not go any where else. read more

Thank you Advanced Exteriors! I'm in the sixth house on our block the used Rhino Shield. The first house was done about 8 years ago. Everyone has raced about the workmanship and the time spent on detail. Your employees are courteous and keep us informed about what's coming next. One of the reasons I picked your company is there was a house that was painted with regular paint about 2 years ago and I compared it to the house you coated with Rhino Shield eight years ago. Your Rhino Shield looked better and based on what all my neighbors said and experienced I decided to use Advanced Exteriors. I know some of our neighbors will be using Advanced Exteriors in the future. You're 50 years of experience is evident. Thanks, Janice read more

We wanted to beautify and protect our home and were tired of seeing chipped and peeling paint a couple of years after repainting. We researched Advanced Exteriors and decided it was worth the investment if it meant never repainting again. The prep work was meticulous and the finished product was gorgeous so we hope all the claim of endurance prove true over time. The staff and owners were great and very attentive to our needs and concerns, especially when an area of wood siding needed touching up. It looks great and we are proud of our house once again. read more

I originally requested and received a proposal to paint the wood fascia, eve and front trim of my home. After I saw the quality of prep work being done by the paint crew I requested a change order for additional exterior painting... read more

They are the best and most professional workers. They start by cleaning the exterior of the home and making any necessary repairs. They spent one week doing that. There are two coats of special paint and a finishing coat. Each evening they cleaned up and never left a mess. We are so pleased and the warranty is 25 years read more

The painters are really nice guys, with a fantastic work ethic, they went the extra mile,on several occasions to make sure that we were satisfied with their work. The initial start date was delayed by about 3 weeks, (this didn't bother us as we were in no hurry) but once they started they were prompt at 8 am everyday until they finished. They picked up after themselves as they went, never leaving a mess. Our house is the best looking on the block! As for the price we thought it was fair, considering we won't have to touch the paint for 25 years. We will definitely recommend Advanced Exteriors to friends and family in need of a quality upgrade to their homes exterior. read more

My beach house was succumbing to many years of battering by the oceanfront weather ---- crumbling stucco, fading color, dry rotting fascia boards, etc. After doing some research on the Rhino Shield product I decided to give them a try, primarily because of the great warranty and because I inspected six other properties on or near the beach that the company did and was impressed with what I saw and heard from their owners. Now, four years later, I am convinced I made the right move. I waited to write a review because I wanted to see how the product held up for a while. The building still looks bright and almost new, and when I had a minor issue Martin was quick to respond and fix it at no cost. My experience with Rhino Shield was amazing. It was no easy job as I have a three-story, four-unit building with a thick stucco pattern and many architectural twists and we were in the middle of a major renovation project. Martin's crew was amazing (I was happy to hear he uses only employees and no subs). They worked well with my other contractors on the property over several weeks, were always on time and respectful, and cleaned up thoroughly each and every day. What amazed me most was the time and attention to detail they provided in the prep work. Applying the two coats of Rhino Shield at the end was the easy part. They finished the project on time, for the price quoted, and the results were impressive. I have recommended Rhino Shield to a few others and they also have not been disappointed. read more

I am extremely happy with the work done on my house. The work was explained well. The little cracks on the stucco were repaired. The manager coordinated with my schedule as I have been away. The office support too has been helpful. The head painter took care of cleaning up each day after work and explaining to me what will happen next. He also coordinated the repair on some termite damage on the structure before applying Rhino Shield. Rhino Shield gave my house the look of a newly-built one. I hope this exterior protection will prevent termite infestation but that would be asking too much. I would recommend this service. read more

You erroneously state it is CA law and common law that all homeowners must be present to sign a contract. That is only true if both are parties to the contract. California does not require all homeowners (many homes owned by multiple individuals) to sign a contract for repairs, remodel, services, etc. Advanced Exteriors has made that statement several times in responses but fail to provide the CA business and profession code or the civil code they are relying on to make that statement. What is the business and professional code/civil code you are relying on that states all owners of a property are required to contract for services? What if the home is in a trust and a trustee has sole discretion to make decisions? It's unfortunate you make the assumption you would need to go back multiple times to explain the product. If I happen to be the decision maker regarding the hiring of a contractor and the co-owner(s) have selected me to make the final decision as they do not want to be involved, I see no point in having them involved in the long sales presentation especially if they are not interested. As a business, it is your right to require all owners be present for your long presentation if that is how you want to do business. As a consumer, I choose not to do business with a contractor with this requirement especially if I will be making the ultimate decision. Please stop making the statement that it is common law and California law that all owners are required to contract for services. This is simply not true. Feedback from Advanced Exteriors 9-1-16 "To receive your free home inspection with estimate, we require all homeowners be present. This service is free for all our customers. Appointments 7 days a week, morning and evenings, are available to accomodate all homeowners of your home. We'd love to give you a quote, but due to cost factors, it isn't cost effective for us to go back multiple times to explain the product to both homeowners separately. Our product and process are unique and different from anything on the market. In addition, if you decide to purchase, CA state Law and common law requires that all homeowners be present to sign a contract. Our representatives are highly trained and all estimate costs are paid for by Advanced Exteriors. Read less read more

The painting (or ceramic coating as they call it) bubbled and peeled and the unprofessional office staff didn't send someone out to look at it until I called continuously. Then a month later someone came out - told us it was due to water the damage because it wasn't sealed correctly then never returned--- even though the representative who came out told me they would return the next day to fix the issue. After repeated calls from my husband and I, I threatened to call BBB and a painter was dispatched. The owner Martin cane to see what was happening and his excuse... He blamed his employees on multiple occasions, citing how he had to let the original gentleman go shortly after he inspected the home and how he must not have submitted the paperwork, how his employees were difficult to manage and he could not make them go to jobsites! Martin even had the audacity to call my husband's office saying that he has had so many issues including that he got a new database and was trying to work through learning the system. 5 months after Martin and the Office staff gave us every excuse imaginable as to why they could not come to repair the area, they finally showed up to repair the small area. They fixed the area but it was painful!! I'm leaving out a lot of the details here! But what really upset me, was then today I got the nastiest email from Michelle the office manager. Unprofessional business practices!!! I'm so sorry I ever used them!! Stay away!!! I have to laugh at advanced exteriors response! Excuses excuses! Again as a business owner Martin should accept responsibility for the lack of communication that his company is guilty of??? Yes I called repeatedly because advanced exteriors dropped the ball over and over. Yes I complained to BBB, wouldn't you if you spent that much money and the paint bubbled and peeled and no one responded even though you had a 25 year warranty. Honest, I don't feel bad that Martin came out here (even though I told him it wasn't necessary) Martin should change his plans and view warranty complaints when his company screws up! Isn't that part of owning a business?????? My favorite part of this whole experience was Martin threatening to sue us if we did not remove the negative reviews! Isn't that what Yelp is for? Letting others know the type of experience you had. BTW good thing Yelp wasn't around when i had the house painted years ago or I would've commented how they ruined my front door and the expensive door hardware. How Martin had to hire a subcontractor to finish my door since his staff made it worse every time they touched it. Or how advanced exterior had to buy me new door handles and hinges since his staff destroyed them using acetone on them to remove the paint they painted on them. Stick with my original review- stay away! It's like dealing with a childhood bully. The saga continues, now Advanced exteriors LLC is threatening to sue me for my review both here on Yelp and on the BBB site. Yelp was intended to share HONEST experiences but now that I have, the threats are overwhelming! read more

Wow! My house looks like a castle!!! Ricardo and his crew (Marcos and Carlos) were SO fabulously wonderful to work with. They were on time, cleaned up every day and always had smiles on their faces. They went OUT OF THEIR WAY to make us happy and satisfied. We had lots of work that needed to be done. New stucco, new woodwork, repairing gutters, repairing the roof and they made it very easy to accomplish! I highly recommend this company to anyone out there who wants to make their home beautiful! read more

We have been admiring the new finish on our home. I still love the comments we get from our neighbors on how great it looks! We also got comments about the men that did the job. Shu and I and our neighbors, were so impressed on their professionalism! How they were not only concerned about our property, but also our neighbors. The crew worked to keep us informed of the progress, so we felt comfortable. They accommodated all of our requests. They paid attention to the smallest of details. When it came to choosing the paint. They just worked with us to help us find the right colors. It has been about 3 weeks now and I still can't stop admiring our home. It is simply gorgeous!!! We really found the right color combination. All the hard work that Jerry, Jose, Jose, Carlos and Ricardo did. Well it really makes our home the envy of our neighbors. I can't thank them enough for their patience and for working with us. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have the job done right. Thanks for our beautiful home... Shu and Frank Rogozienski read more

The team from Advanced Exteriors is currently preparing our home for their Rhino shield coating. We are very impressed by the work ethic and professionalism of this company. They arrive on time every day and do a complete clean up before they leave in the afternoon. read more

Love this company! My house looks great after 7 years with Rhino Shield on it. Love the crew. Love the customer service. Especially love not having to paint again! Thank you Advanced Exteriors. Highly recommended! read more

Update: Going on 9 years and still looking great! My review from a couple years ago: I had my house coated 7 years ago. Recently got a call from advanced exteriors and asked me to inspect the exterior of my house. I was shocked that any company would call me after 7 years to see if the product was still performing. They said they randomly call past customers to make sure everything is as promised. I did an inspection as requested and my house still looks like they had just finished. There were some minor scratches and one small 1 inch bubble. They offered to fix the small bubble and that there would be a small charge for the scratches. I told him there was no need but if I found: further problems down the road I would let them know, my house looks great. I did a lot of research before I picked advanced exteriors rhino shield. I had about five contractors work on my house prior for different improvements. Advanced exteriors was the first company to finish on time with no surprises. I refer them to two friends and they both used advanced exteriors and are just as happy as I am. My friend Tammy said exceeded their expectations. Thank you advanced exteriors keep up the good work! read more

Advanced Exteriors sent professional and obviously qualified painters to our house. They completed the prep all the way to the finish coating, doing an exceptionally good job. I get complements on how nice our house looks and the best part is I don't have to worry about painting for the next 25 years. read more

They just finished my home last month and it looks absolutely beautiful! The crew (Angel, Hector and Antonio) worked very hard to complete this job, even though the weather was not being too cooperative for their progress. The office staff maintained steady communication with me during this process and I feel I was well informed of all updates on status, step by step. I would refer Rhino Shield and Advanced Exteriors to anyone looking to invest in their home asset. read more

I made an appointment with them two weeks in advance to get an estimate. They called me up the prior day to confirm the appointment time at 10-11:30am on a Saturday at my house. The next day no one showed up. A week has passed and I didn't get a call from them at all...nothing. With terrible service like that I wouldn't let them touch my house! I wish I could give them a minus 5 star review. Shame on you Advanced Exteriors!! I'll go with the Coolwall painting instead. read more

Our house looks better than new. Advanced Exteriors just completed applying the Rino Shield ceramic coating to our house and demonstrated professionalism, high quality and a strong customer orientation throughout the project. The enthusiastic team worked well together as they applied their experience and skills to effectively manage the details of the entire process from thorough preparation to complete finish work. We highly recommend Advanced Exteriors! read more

We went to the Del Mar home show and were interested in Rhinoshield. When we set the appointment they wanted both my husband and I to be there. Both my husband and I work but I work from home so I have flexibility to set appointments plus all the house design decisions and payments for house work are done by me. My husband even told them this as well. Reluctantly, the woman made the appointment. Anyway, they were suppose to come today, and the company called to see if they could come by early to see my husband and I. I said it would just be me and that we had told them that when we made the appointment. The woman said that is not their policy. I get that they are available 7 days a week, but my husband and I work long hours and we are not giving up our weekends with our kids to hear some sales pitch from a company that won't just talk to me. I told them they don't get our business then and the sales person seemed totally fine with that. read more

Advanced Exterior's response is flawed. To say we were out of their area doesn't make sense since they were more than excited to provide an estimate and the owner was on his way, albeit running late. Not because of a rain shower, but because he didn't value the customer's time. His response talks about rain on the mountain is funny. I was there, he says he was over a half hour away in the city, he had no way of knowing if it was raining or not. The reality was that he was going to be so late that my wife had to leave and that is when he said he was going to turn around. See, as in the other reviews, they use high pressure sales tactics to get you to sign right then and there, before you realize how much more their product costs or get reviews from the BBB or Yelp. As to say that Palomar Mountain is out of their service area was just another excuse. In fact, they told me they had nearly a dozen customers on the mountain already. What's the truth? Can't have it both ways! The owner said to me that Palomar Mountain is just too dangerous for his employees and he has a right to decide what neighborhoods he will work in. Just like the cake maker saying who they will bake cakes for or redlining from years ago, he picks what neighborhoods and who he will work for. Then I found out that he secretly records his conversations. Why? Creepy? Illegal....yes, read California penal code section 632a. This company was not honest with me. The product may be great but per them cost about three time that of a great paint job. In my books, I could have my home repainted every 8 years and still be ahead. Remember, the owner was on his way but was running way late, that should say enough about the honesty of his response about being out of the area and the rest of his story. They knew they lost a sale when I had time to check the reviews and get other estimates. A product that sells itself doesn't need both parties to be present during the pitch, if it is so good, it will be easy to signatures later. These are the same tactics used in time shares and car purchases. Read the reviews, look at other options, take your time, don't let anyone pressure you, negotiate, and like me and others, you can shop elsewhere. read more

The service and product we received from Advanced Exteriors was outstanding. Yes, they are much higher in cost than other painting contractors but comparing their products are like comparing apples to oranges. Rhino Shield has a twenty five year warranty which means the paint will probably outlast us. I cant say enough great things about Ricardo and his crew. They were professional, beyond courteous and cleaned up at the end of each day. They always gave me updates about where they were in the process (yes, it is a process not just a paint job). The entire project lasted three weeks and, being retired, we were there to see the progress. Their prep was was thorough and I'm sure is the secret to the quality of their work. They spent three days just sanding, sealing and caulking all the wood trim. We have had numerous people stop and compliment us on the job they did. If you want a quality product and very professional service, I highly recommend Advanced Exteriors. read more
