I’ve owned my home in New York for just over 12 years, and in that time, I’ve repainted the exterior twice. The first time, I used a well-known brand of latex paint. It looked great for the first couple of years, but by year five, the color had faded and there were clear signs of peeling. The second time, I went with a premium paint that promised longer durability — but again, within a few winters, moisture and temperature changes took their toll.
So when it came time to repaint again, I decided to look for something different. That’s how I found Rhino Shield.
First Impressions
What drew me to Rhino Shield initially wasn’t just the marketing — it was the idea of not having to repaint every 5–7 years. I started reading reviews, and what caught my attention was the 25-year transferable warranty. I hadn’t seen that kind of commitment from any traditional paint company.
After a consultation with Rhino Shield New York, I decided to go ahead with the project. The application process took longer than standard paint, but it was thorough — including power washing, minor repairs, and multiple layers of their ceramic-based coating.
The Results
The difference was noticeable immediately. The finish had a rich, consistent color and a texture that felt thicker and more protective than anything I’d used before. It wasn’t just cosmetic — the coating gave the impression that my home was sealed, not just painted.
Now, two years later, the surface looks exactly the same as the day it was applied. We’ve gone through heavy snow, intense heat, and coastal humidity — and not a single crack, bubble, or fade. I haven’t needed to touch up a thing.
What I Liked Most
- Peace of mind: Knowing I won’t have to repaint for decades is a relief.
- Weather resistance: It’s held up beautifully through every New York season.
- Added value: Several neighbors have commented on how fresh the house looks, and one even asked for the contractor’s contact info.
Final Thoughts
Is Rhino Shield more expensive than traditional premium paint? Yes. But when I think about how much I’ve spent over the years repainting and maintaining my exterior, this investment makes sense — and then some.
If you’re planning to stay in your home for the long haul and want long-lasting protection without the constant upkeep, Rhino Shield is a solution that actually delivers on its promise.
