A lot of Jacksonville homeowners start looking into Rhino Shield because they’re tired of dealing with fading, peeling, cracking, or mildew on their home’s exterior.
Florida weather can be hard on traditional paint, especially when a home is constantly exposed to strong sunlight, moisture, and humidity. Rhino Shield is a ceramic-based exterior coating system that’s designed to stand up to those conditions and provide longer-lasting protection.
For many homeowners, the biggest benefit is simply having to worry less about their exterior over time.
Yes. Heavy rain and moisture are a big concern for homeowners in Jacksonville, especially during the summer and storm season.
Rhino Shield is designed to help protect the exterior of your home from water intrusion while still allowing the surface underneath to breathe. That can be especially important on surfaces like stucco, wood siding, brick, and HardiePlank®, where ongoing moisture can eventually lead to bigger problems.
It’s not about making your home completely waterproof. It’s about giving the exterior another layer of protection against the conditions we regularly see here in Northeast Florida.
It can be a great option for homes closer to the coast.
If you live around Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, or near the Intracoastal, your home’s exterior is dealing with more than just heat and rain. Salt in the air, moisture, wind, and intense sunlight can all wear down exterior finishes over time.
Rhino Shield has been independently tested for things like wind-driven rain and salt-air corrosion, which makes those tests especially relevant for homeowners living near the coast.
Rhino Shield’s ceramic coating system is designed to reflect some of the sun’s energy away from the exterior of the home and help reduce exterior wall surface temperatures.
That’s useful in Jacksonville, where the hotter months can seem to stretch on forever. Every home is different, so we don’t promise a specific reduction in your electric bill. Things like your insulation, windows, HVAC system, home orientation, and construction all play a role.
The main benefit is adding another layer of protection between your home and the intense Florida sun.
Rhino Shield can be applied to many of the exterior surfaces you’ll see on homes throughout Jacksonville, including stucco, HardiePlank®, wood siding, brick, block, coquina, vinyl, and metal.
Before we coat anything, our team takes a close look at the condition of the home. If there are damaged areas that need attention first, we’ll identify them during the preparation process.
That preparation is a big part of the job. A long-lasting exterior coating is only as good as the surface underneath it.
Absolutely. If you already love the color of your home, we can typically get very close to the existing shade. If you’re ready for something completely different, we can help with that too.
Jacksonville has a wide mix of home styles, so there’s no single color palette that works for everyone. Some homeowners want a bright coastal look, while others prefer warmer neutrals, deeper colors, or something more traditional.
Our team can help you choose a color that works well with your roof, trim, doors, shutters, and the overall style of your home.
It really depends on the home.
Two houses that look similar from the street can require very different amounts of preparation and coating. The size of the home, type of exterior, condition of the surface, repairs needed, accessibility, and architectural details can all affect the final price. Click here for more.
That’s why we don’t like throwing out a generic price that may not be realistic for your house. The best way to get an accurate number is to have someone look at the property and see exactly what the project involves.
