About

Holding CSLB license #255401 since 1959, Advanced Exteriors is the exclusive Rhino Shield coating dealer in La Mesa, operating from University Avenue in the Mesa as a veteran-owned and Latino-owned contractor. The Rhino Shield system applies a ceramic-based acrylic coating using 3M microsphere technology that adds 6.9 R-value insulation to exterior walls, a thermal upgrade that works in concert with the energy-envelope improvements offered by remodeling firms like Kitchens Plus during whole-home renovation projects. Unlike conventional latex or acrylic paint, the coating carries a Class A fire rating under ASTM E84 flame-spread testing and a 25-year transferable warranty covering adhesion, peeling, and color fade. Surface preparation includes stucco crack repair, wood-rot replacement, and caulk-joint restoration before the multi-coat Rhino Shield application, ensuring the substrate meets manufacturer specifications for long-term adhesion. The coating's thermal-barrier properties pair with the spray-foam and batt insulation installations performed by Pivotal Insulation La Mesa Inc., combining interior and exterior R-value gains for properties in La Mesa's 91942 ZIP. Highest-tier projects include full-perimeter coating of two-story stucco structures with elastomeric base coats, UV-reflective ceramic finish coats, and integrated waterproofing membranes rated to withstand 98% UV-ray blockage and 15 PSI wind-driven rain penetration.
