Licenses, Credentials & Industry Leadership
The credentials shown here are verifiable: four active Arizona ROC licenses (licensed, bonded, and insured), current manufacturer credentials, and industry leadership roles held by AE's principals. Older recognition earned under the Advant-Edge trade name is documented in AE's company history rather than presented as current awards.
Manufacturer Credentials
Credentials issued by the manufacturers whose materials AE installs.
Belgard Master Craftsman
Manufacturer-issued Master Craftsman recognition from Belgard, in addition to AE's active status as a Belgard Authorized Contractor.
Four Active ROC Licenses. Zero Subbing to Uninsured Trades.
In Arizona, any contractor performing work over $1,000 (labor + materials) must hold an active Registrar of Contractors license. We maintain four distinct commercial and residential licenses in good standing.
When you visit our Peoria design showroom, you will see our official framed ROC diplomas and manufacturer credentials displayed openly on our walls.
Authority Rooted in Leadership
We don't just follow Arizona outdoor living standards—we help set them. Our leadership extends from regional trade associations to deep community investments across the Valley.
Southwest Hardscapes Association
David Bell currently serves as President of the Southwest Hardscapes Association (SHA), bringing 13 years of board service and 15 years of active dedication to elevating regional hardscape engineering, material durability, and installer ethics.
Purposeful Giving Alliance & Community
"We didn't build a company that gives back. We built a company on giving back." From annual Shop With a Cop initiatives and Day of Giving builds to donated backyards for families in need, community commitment is our foundation.
Build with an Authority Team.
Whether you are planning a resort pool, a custom outdoor kitchen, engineered glass fencing, or permanent holiday lighting, your investment deserves backed credentials.
