Budd Severino brought 5 years of aluminum experience from Edison, New Jersey to Daytona Beach in 1969.  While attending Embry Riddle Aeronautical University full time, he began installing gutters and other aluminum products in the Daytona Beach area.  His growing number of satisfied customers spread his name throughout the area.  By 1971, Budd Severino Advanced Home Exteriors, Inc. was formed and became an authorized dealer for Alcoa Building Products.  In 1978, the company purchased the Nova Road office location in which it is still located today.
