“It was quite the process, but so worth the end result! Our paint team did a stellar job of masking, replacing soggy cedar, and caulking! There was a lot of masking on our house, with the long windows, Chicago corners, and the wrap-around porch! It is odd not being able to see out your windows, or use all your doors, so prepare yourself, but the end result is gorgeous! Lines are crisp everywhere, and colors are striking! Kudo’s to the crew who worked for 2 weeks, fighting windy weather and cooler temps to finish! We are very pleased!”
I.P., Chicago IL
Trusting the Application Process
As I.P. mentioned, applying Rhino Shield is “quite the process.” Unlike traditional painting that might take a few days of quick spraying, our application process involves a rigorous 12-step system designed to ensure the coating lasts for 25 years.
This comprehensive approach includes several critical stages that were vital for I.P.’s Chicago home:
- Thorough Inspection & Wood Replacement: Our crews identify and replace “soggy cedar” or rotted wood to ensure the coating is applied to a structurally sound surface.
- Meticulous Caulking: We seal joints and cracks with high-quality caulk to prevent moisture intrusion, a step I.P. specifically praised for its precision.
- Extensive Masking: To achieve those “crisp lines,” we carefully mask off windows, doors, and trim. While this may mean “not being able to see out your windows” for a short time, it is necessary to protect every non-coated surface.
- Surface Preparation: This includes power washing to remove debris and scraping or sanding to create a smooth, bondable surface for the primer.
- Proprietary Priming: We apply our unique Adhesive Primer, which creates a permanent bond between the substrate and the finish coat.
