Q & A Regarding Rhino Shield vs Paint

[/vc_column_text][vc_toggle css=”” title=”What Does Rhino Shield Cost?”]Typical Price Range in Georgia
Small home (1,000–1,500 sq ft): $12,000–$18,000
Medium home (1,500–2,500 sq ft): $18,000–$28,000
Large home (2,500–4,000+ sq ft): $28,000–$45,000+
Most Georgia homeowners invest between $20,000 and $35,000 for a full exterior Rhino Shield
application.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”What Makes the Cost Go Up?”]Rhino Shield pricing increases when:
-Larger square footage comes from hidden areas on the house, lots of gables that are not part of the interior square footage.
-Multi-story homes ex: 3+ on the side of a hill or mountain, could require 60+ ladders or lifts.
-Extensive prep work required: sanding and scraping on older homes or homes that were not properly cleaned before painting.
-Wood rot repair
-Stucco cracking repairs: holes in the stucco, large separation cracks all take time to repair.
-Peeling or failing previous paint: could mean we also have to add an extra step to prime the wood properly.
-Complex architecture: if you have 2 colors on your windows or if you have trim that is 2 colors, gutters one color, and fascia is another color, old historical homes are a great example of having multiple colors in different areas.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”What Makes the Cost Go Down?”]-Home is one story.
-One color vs. multiple colors.
-Minimal prep required, meaning we just need to caulk.
-Siding is in good condition; no repairs are required.
-Flexible scheduling.
-Window trim is the same as the wall color.
-Window/Door trim does not require painting.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”Why Are Some Companies So Expensive?”]Exterior projects cost more when companies:
-Use full-time trained crews (not subcontractors).
-Include longer warranties, if they offer one, and check to see if they are transferable.
-Invest heavily in prep work; many times, painters will not do repairs.
-Use premium materials, such as SW Emerald.
-Carry higher insurance coverage.
-Offer extended service guarantees.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”Why Are Some Exterior Paint Jobs So Cheap?”]-Minimal surface prep, they just come in a paint, no cleaning, no repairs, and no caulking.
-Standard acrylic paint by using the cheapest they can get on the market.
-Thin application, they may water down the paint to double the coverage.
-Limited or no warranty (1–5 years), see if they even offer one.
-Subcontract labor or they don’t carry insurance, always call the insurance agency; do not take it for granted by looking at the certificate.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”Rhino Shield vs. Traditional Exterior Paint (25-Year Cost Comparison)”]Your Options: Upfront Cost   Repaint Cycle    25-Year Total
Traditional Paint options:    $8k–$15k + Every 5–7 years  = $48k-90k (does not include inflation)
Rhino Shield option:    $20k–$35k   1 time with 25-year warranty  = $20k–$35k[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”Is Rhino Shield Worth It?”]Rhino Shield may be worth it if you align with one of these examples:
-You plan to stay in your home long term 5+ years
-You don’t want to repaint over and over every few years
-You value longevity, durability, and reduced maintenance
-It can lower your energy bills, subject to the area coated
It may NOT be worth it if:
-You’re selling in 1–3 years
-You’re looking for the lowest upfront cost
-You plan major renovations soon (wait until after)

It just may not be in the budget; things do happen in life. But protecting your home is a priority, whether you paint or use Rhino Shield.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”Hidden Costs Most Homeowners Don’t Think about or Consider”]Potential cost variables:
-Wood replacement.
-Lead paint remediation; the contractor must be certified by the EPA.
-Structural siding issues, especially on older homes and chimneys, could be a problem area.
-HOA color restrictions: we can match what they require.
-Permit requirements (if applicable); usually not for painting.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”Historical Pricing Trends”]Over the past 5–10 years, exterior coating prices have increased due to many different circumstances, such as:

Rising labor costs, inflation in raw materials, insurance requirements for subcontractors, colorant supplies, and gas can be a big factor.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”Financing Options We Offer”]12 Month Same as Cash, 18 Zero % Interest, with minimum payments and then
Installment loans from 1 year to 10 years. Interest rate varies subject to credit score. We also take all major credit cards.
Example:
$28,000 project
10-year financing
~$280–$350/month depending on terms[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”Does it Increase Home Value?”]It most certainly can. We have had many realtors refer us, and they include
value on the appraisals.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”Does Rhino Shield Require Maintenance?”]We say it is maintenance-friendly, not maintenance-free. You will still need
to clean your home, subject to your surroundings. Check for areas that water can penetrate. Homes do shift a great deal at times, due to droughts and other factors.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle css=”” title=”If I sell the home before the 25-year warranty is up, can I transfer the warranty?”]Yes, you can. The new owners are required to contact us within 60 days of the closing.[/vc_toggle][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1773880361695{padding-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]
