Frequently Asked Questions About Advance Exterior Solutions
Straight Answers About Who We Are, What We Do, And What Makes Us Different
Choosing the right contractor for your home is a big decision. At Advance Exterior Solutions, we believe in being a total open book. So, we’ve put together this list of the most common questions our neighbors ask us to help you understand exactly how we work and why we insist on doing everything to the highest possible standard.
FAQs About AES And Our Exterior Remodeling Services
Is Advance Exterior Solutions a local company or a national franchise?
We are a second-generation, independently owned family business. Robert Mirth’s father started his company (a separate home improvement company) in 1980 with a mission to treat every home like his own. Today, Robert carries the family legacy of restoring homes in the Lehigh Valley forward. We aren’t interested in selling out to big corporations. We take personal pride in being the local experts our neighbors can count on.
What different types of roofing materials do you offer?
We specialize in high-performance roofing systems that are engineered for Pennsylvania weather. We offer premium GAF asphalt shingles, durable metal roofing, and EPDM flat roofing solutions. We don’t mix and match cheap parts. We install complete, integrated systems from the same manufacturer to ensure your home stays dry for the long haul.
What exactly is covered under your “Lifetime Labor Lock”?
Most contractors will tell you about a manufacturer’s warranty, which only covers the materials. If they install those materials incorrectly, that warranty is often void. Our Lifetime Labor Lock covers the actual installation for as long as you own your home. If there is ever an issue with our workmanship, we’ll come back and fix it at no cost to you.
How do I know I can trust the quality of your work?
We’ve been serving the Lehigh Valley since 1980, and our reputation is the most valuable thing we own. We don’t just ask you to take our word for it; we encourage you to look at the stories from your own neighbors in Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and Beyond. We’ve worked hard for over 40 years to earn our five-star reputation by doing exactly what we say we’re going to do.
How do you make sure my new siding won’t have leaks or rot issues later?
We use premium products like Mastic vinyl and Everlast composite siding. Plus, we use a Tyvek moisture barrier to further ensure your home is protected. We focus on the “invisible” layers behind the siding to make sure your home is protected from mold, rot, and water damage.
Do you offer payment plans to help with the cost?
Yes. We know that a major home exterior project is a significant investment. And we believe that protecting your family should never be a financial burden.
That’s why we offer several flexible payment plans with fair rates and an easy application process through reputable third-party lenders. We want to help you get the sturdy roof or siding you need on a budget that makes sense for your household.
What should I expect during the initial visit and the installation process?
We’ve spent decades perfecting a process that is simple and stress-free. It starts with a no-pressure visit where we listen to your goals and give you an honest price… no sales games.
During the job, we keep you updated through our customer portal and ensure your yard stays clean. We don’t call the job finished until Robert performs a final inspection.
Which specific parts of the Lehigh Valley do you serve?
We are a local, family-owned business, not a big national chain. We live and work right here in the community. We primarily serve homeowners throughout the Lehigh Valley, including Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton, as well as the surrounding smaller towns. If you aren’t sure if we cover your area, just give us a call and we’ll let you know.
Who will actually be working on my home?
This is a major difference between us and other contractors. While many companies hire temporary help, our crews have been with us for over 20 years. These are career craftsmen who understand our “Zero Shortcuts” rule. Plus, our owner, Robert Mirth, is in the field every day personally overseeing the work.
Can new windows and doors actually help lower my energy bills?
Yes, but only if they are installed correctly. Most companies just “pop and drop” a window into the opening. Our veteran crews focus on creating an air-tight seal around the frame to stop heat from escaping. By using high-performance glass and focusing on the precision of the installation, we help keep your home comfortable and your bills lower.
