"This is updated review post is to correct grammatical errors in my prior post: Well, what does one say when a diamond is found. As far as a painting professional, Joe Asaro is that diamond. Several years ago, Joe painted the stucco and wood trim on our entire home. The paint has held up incredibly on both the stucco walls and the wood wood fascia and eaves and I would not even considered touch up painting as necessary if it was not for the replacement tile roof installed a short time ago. With the tile installation, the new trim rake tiles where installed exposing more wood than before and therefore, Joe's services were necessary again. As always, Joe met me at my home, walked the site with me and promptly sent to my email his proposal and as prior, the price was very reasonable, especially for the workmanship that Joe provides. Joe is hard working and honest and the quality of work he provides is "top notch" and proven by the lasting of time. Thanks again Joe for your professionalism and thoroughness and for consistently offering a great product and service. Nick"

"Luis and Larry worked with me on getting my painting projects done.  They were very accommodating regarding my schedule and what I wanted done.  Each room had a different color.  They prepared the rooms and cleaned up after they were finished.  After they had left and the paint had dried, I noticed a few small areas that needed touching up.  They were very happy to return and take care of it.  I will certainly call them back when I have another painting project.

"Steven Swank and his team went above and beyond to repair stucco, replace facia board and paint exterior and trim on my home. He was responsive and made reasonable suggestions where needed. Great quality work and materials."

"Super. Dave's crews were on time and did a very thorough job. The whole HOA was pleased."

"The work Superior Stucco did for me was top-notch in every respect. The workers were all timely, neat, friendly and good at their jobs. The owner kept a close eye on the project and regularly communicated with me."

"Be careful and do your research! I did and chose Advanced Exteriors Rhino Shield. I?d like to share why I didn?t chose other companies. Some salespeople misrepresent or outright lie to you, and it?s only true if you chose to believe it. A little research can save you a lot of grief. I?ve hired and talked to painting and stucco companies in the past like Pacific Home Remodeling. They told me all kinds of things to make themselves look really impressive. But when I did my research, I found out they were revoked off the Better Business Bureau in 2010 because of numerous complaints from advertising/sales practices to problems with product/services! Thank God I didn?t hire them! And you should see how bad Pacific Home Remodeling Yelp reviews are! 
 A lot of companies use a product called Texcote. When I did the research on Texcote, I found that its product name had been changed over the years to ToughGuard, Platinum, Genuine, Classic, Smart Coat, SuperCote,  and now it?s called FlexOn/Cool Wall. So I wondered why the name was being changed every so often. I found out that when they got enough complaints, they?d change the name so it makes it harder to do research on past performance! How?s that for ethics!
Did you know, through my research at County Court records and Internet, that there?s been at least 15 texcote companies that?s sold texcote under various names for 1 to 5 years, then went out of business leaving their customers? without warranty service? Look at how many I found!
 American Home Craft which later changed its name to Sungate Energy Solutions, First Choice Home Improvements, Best Windows and Doors, Five Star Builders, Green House Builders, Gold Coast Renovations as well as Gold Coast Painting which now is Gold Coast Design, Mission Home Builders which reopened under another name, NuCote Exteriors/Far Star, San Diego Window and Door, and Thermoview which reopened as San Diego Door & Window. Some of these companies like This Old Fashioned Home Improvement doesn?t even have a license or address on their internet site! And I saw on the internet that NuCote won ?Dealer of the Year in CA? in 2010 and 2011 for Texcote. At the same time, the Better Business Bureau revoked them in 2010. Now they?re out of business! Without research I would have been one of their victims. Because their marketing materials and sales people are very good.
 These companies using Texcote seem to have a shaky past and I couldn?t find any independent testing other than the Department of Energy. But that?s only dealing with heat. What about the rest of the product? Nothing!
Look at all these companies that have changed company names, flipped licenses or don?t even show you their license at all. Certapro/Armortek which was opened by its former owners of Artistic Design as well as F & V Painting that went under, Colors of Europe (a subsidiary of Superior Stucco & Stone), Classic Home Improvements which goes under Distinctive Home Improvements, Design Rite Construction which opened after Qualitus Corp. was revoked by the CSLB, Makeover Max which opened after Paoga Construction.
 The last time I had my house painted, the contractor gave me a 10 year warranty. When it began peeling and blistering a year or two later, I had to fight with the contractor to come out and see the problem let alone fix it! He told me that it wasn?t his fault and that the paint failed. He also mentioned that the federal government through EPA has changed the paints because of environmental reasons and they don?t last like they use to. So then I asked him about the 10 year warranty. He told me that the 10 year warranty was the warranty on the can of paint and that I need to call the paint manufacturer.
 When I called the paint manufacturer, after a bit of a struggle, they came out and looked at my house and said that their paint didn?t fail but it was the painter who didn?t apply it properly! They also told me that the painter didn?t apply the paint thick enough. So it wasn?t their problem and told me to call the painter. Oh my God!
 So now I?m stuck between not getting what I thought I was promised or having to file a lawsuit against my painter. Do you know how much it costs to hire a lawyer and go to court. let alone the time and headache?  So what did I learn? That what some salesman says and what actually happens can be two different things. That?s what!
 This time, I decided to do a lot more research before I called out the painting company. I found Advanced Exteriors and Jerry?s been around since 1959. Jerry?s been painting in San Diego and he?s still on the job. I got to meet him when he supervised the crew working on my house. Then I researched and found out they don?t have any complaints with the Contractors State License Board and the Better Business Bureau from customers who?ve had work done in the last 50 years. The record was far superior to other companies that I had researched.
 I did find 1 complaint on the Better Business Bureau, so I called up the BBB and asked them about it. They told me it wasn?t from a contractual customer. Instead this was from a person that had the company?s canvasser come to their door that scratched their door.
 Then I researched Rhino Shield which is Advanced Exterior?s product. The thing that impressed me the most and made me feel very comfortable is that their product was independently tested by BASF. I couldn?t find any other coating  that had this kind of independant testing. It does make you wonder why all these other companies don?t have this kind of testing, yet make similar claims about their products. And I like the big difference that Rhino Shield uses high grade materials like 3M ceramics and their warranty is backed by the factory. The difference between what I experienced before is that Advanced Exteriors is the only distributor for Rhino Shield in San Diego, so I only have to go to one place if I have a problem.
 They were also able to prove to me that they used only employees and not subcontractors. That?s huge! My friend hired a painter and they told her they didn?t use subcontractors, but when the workers showed up, they weren?t employees of the company after all! She asked one of the workers, and he told her he wasn?t an employee but a subcontractor. She?d been had! I felt bad for her.
 Advanced Exteriors put it in writing that they don?t use subcontractors and advertise it. They actually do use employees and when they came to my home, I asked the workers and they told me they were indeed employees. The company and the employees are all EPA lead-certified which was important to me.
 I also talked to two of Advanced Exteriors customers that had Rhino Shield on their home for over 5 years. They told me they very very pleased with how their house still looks like new, and how professional the crew and office staff was to them.
 When Advanced Exterior?s crew showed up at my home, they explained what they were going to do and kept me informed throughout the process as to what would be happening. They were extremely detail orientated. It took about 10 days longer than my last painter because they did so much more preparation and detailed work. They covered all my property and left it in great condition. They also cleaned up after themselves and didn?t need to come in my house at all. I also felt safe around them, especially being a widow, living alone.
 When they left, they took all the debris with them and my home looked like brand new. Rhino Shield may be more of an investment at first, but you get what you pay for. Been there; done that! A couple days after the crew left, I saw that one of my lights wasn?t working, so I called their office. They sent one of the workers back out and fixed it right away.
 I highly recommend Advanced Exteriors and Rhino Shield to anyone who?s worked hard for their money, deserves the best company with a proven warranty, wants to be treated right, and knows this i"
