Understanding the Rhino Shield Application Process

A common concern is, “What does the Rhino Shield application process entail?” Rhino Shield of Indiana’s process stands out for its comprehensive approach, designed to give your exterior a flawless, long-lasting finish that resists Indiana’s harsh winters and humid summers.

Key steps in our application process:

• Thorough inspection: Our skilled inspectors thoroughly assess every surface, looking for signs of wear or underlying damage.
• Professional repairs: Any issues with wood, brick, stucco, or siding are addressed before coating begins.
• Meticulous preparation: Surfaces are power-washed and cleaned to ensure perfect adhesion.
• Multi-layer application: Rhino Shield’s base, bonding, and ceramic topcoat are applied in a controlled process for maximum durability.

Wondering, “How is Rhino Shield different from regular exterior paint?” Rhino Shield coatings are eight to ten times thicker than standard paint, providing unmatched protection against UV rays, moisture, and severe temperature fluctuations. This makes it perfect for Indiana’s unpredictable weather, where protection and longevity matter most.

Project Timelines: What to Expect in Central and Northern Indiana

“How long does a typical Rhino Shield project take?” is a trending question for those planning ahead during December and January months.

While individual timings vary based on property size, weather, and repairs needed, most residential Rhino Shield projects in the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne areas are completed in just 3-5 days from start to finish. Winter scheduling may require flexibility due to temperature and precipitation, but booking your project now ensures prime placement in our early spring and summer schedule.

Project timeline essentials:

• Initial consultation and inspection: Scheduled at your convenience.
• Prep and repairs: 1-2 days (weather permitting).
