If you’re looking for a professional, durable solution to protect your coastal home, Rhino Shield of Southern California is purpose-built to handle the unique challenges of our environment. From salt air and UV exposure to the coastal moisture that wears down traditional paints, we’re here to provide a long-lasting, beautiful exterior coating with exceptional customer service.
Our 11-Step Process ensures a seamless, stress-free experience, so you can trust that your home will look incredible and stay protected for years to come. Let’s break it down step by step in a way that’s easy to understand.
Step 1: Initial Inspection with You and Our Expert
Step 2: Power Washing Your Home
We thoroughly clean your home’s exterior, removing dirt, salt, sand, mold, mildew, and algae. This step is crucial because a clean surface ensures the primer and coating adhere properly, providing a durable and long-lasting finish.
Step 3: Repairing and Patching
Step 4: Scraping and Sanding
Step 5: Caulking Every Seam
We seal all seams of your home with TG300 elastomeric caulk, a high-performance material designed to expand and contract with temperature changes. Why does this matter? This step prevents water intrusion and cracking, protecting your home from moisture.
Step 6: Masking and Shielding
Step 7: Applying the Primer
Step 8: Applying the Durable Finish Coat
We apply a ceramic-tinted top coat at a thickness of 16-18 mils when wet, which dries to 8-10 mils. This advanced coating contains ceramic microspheres, forming a durable, energy-efficient, and protective layer. The finish not only enhances your home’s appearance but also safeguards it against UV rays, water intrusion, salt air corrosion, and other environmental challenges.
Step 9: Detailed Touch-Ups
Step 10: Clean-Up
Step 11: Final Inspection and Customer Approval
Why Our Process Works for Orange County Homes
Living along the coast means your home is exposed to unique challenges, like:
- Salt Air: Corrodes and wears down traditional paints.
- UV Rays: Break down exterior finishes over time.
- Moisture: The marine layer can cause bubbling, cracking, and mold in standard paint.
Our Rhino Shield coatings are specifically designed to handle these conditions. With our advanced ceramic technology, you’ll have a home that’s not just beautiful but also built to last.
