What Makes Rhino Shield Different? A Deeper Look at Our Step-by-Step Process

When Pittsburgh homeowners and business owners search for a permanent solution to exterior painting, durability, and exceptional quality are always top priorities. At Rhino Shield of Pittsburgh, we understand the unique local climate challenges and the value you place on protecting your property’s exterior. That’s why our exterior coating process isn’t just about painting—it’s about providing lasting protection, aesthetic flexibility, and peace of mind. 

Let’s take a closer look at what truly sets Rhino Shield apart, with a deeper breakdown of our step-by-step process.

Why Choose Rhino Shield for Your Pittsburgh Property?

Pittsburgh’s weather can be tough on exterior surfaces—think freezing winters, humid summers, and unpredictable storms. Traditional paint often fails to withstand these extremes, leading to constant maintenance and costly repairs. Rhino Shield offers an advanced ceramic paint coating solution designed specifically for longevity, weather resistance, and stunning curb appeal.

Our locally-rooted team specializes in exterior transformations for historic buildings, homes, and commercial properties across Pittsburgh and the surrounding cities. With extensive product testing and unparalleled service, we provide more than paint—we deliver a robust shield that protects your investment.

Our Unique Step-by-Step Exterior Coating Process

What defines the Rhino Shield difference is our meticulous, multi-stage process that ensures your home or commercial building gets maximum protection and beauty. Here’s what you can expect from our service:

1. Comprehensive Pressure Washing

We start by thoroughly cleaning your property’s exterior. Removing dirt, mildew, and old flaking paint creates a clean surface and prepares the substrate for exceptional bonding.

2. Detailed Inspection

Our team conducts an in-depth inspection to spot hidden cracks, rot, or structural damage. This critical step ensures that no underlying issues compromise your property’s exterior.

3. Repairs and Surface Preparation

We proactively repair or replace damaged surfaces, whether it’s siding, brick, wood, stucco, or vinyl. Each area is hand-scraped and prepped, ensuring a flawless foundation for the subsequent coatings.

4. Expert Caulking and Masking

All gaps, seams, and joints are expertly caulked to seal out moisture and prevent energy loss. Our comprehensive masking protects windows, landscaping, and non-painted surfaces throughout the process.

5. Specialized Adhesive Primer Sealer Application

Rhino Shield’s proprietary primer creates superior adhesion, bridging small cracks and locking down porous surfaces. This primer sets the stage for maximum durability.

6. Application of the Rhino Shield Ceramic Top Coat

Our advanced ceramic coating is applied—up to 8-10 times thicker than traditional paint! It’s formulated to resist fading, cracking, chipping, and mold, while maintaining vibrant color for years. The finish enhances curb appeal and shields your property from Pittsburgh’s toughest weather conditions.

7. Detailed Touch-Up and Quality Control

Once the main application is complete, our team inspects every inch, performing meticulous touch-ups to ensure total coverage and perfection.

8. Clean-Up and Final Inspection

We respect your home or business and leave it spotless, with a final walkthrough to guarantee your full satisfaction.
