Our Benefits – Cost Savings

Hey guys, Gerald Hall with Rhino Shield here. Today we want to have an honest and transparent conversation about the true cost of either repainting your home or investing in a premium coating like Rhino Shield.

Hey, and listen — we know that home improvement does not have the best reputation for being honest and transparent about key elements of projects. Like:

1. How much is it going to cost me? That’s really important.
2. Who’s a good fit, and who’s not a good fit for my product or service? In this case, who’s a good Rhino Shield fit and who’s not?

We’ll talk about that. And honestly, the most important and frequent question we get at Rhino Shield is:

How much does it cost?

We know that Rhino Shield is initially more expensive than just repainting your house again, but there are a lot of factors that go into the cost of each project — and the cost over time. We’ll talk about that too.

The last few things we’ll cover in this short video:

• Color selection
• The installation process of Rhino Shield
• Your 25-year transferable Rhino Shield warranty

Before we get into cost over time with Rhino Shield versus repainting, let’s talk about who is a good fit for Rhino Shield.

If you’re like the tens of thousands of homeowners we talk to each year — frustrated with the constant repainting of your home and all the hassles that go along with the project (five to seven days for painting, covering the bushes, taping up the windows, prepping the house) — it’s a real inconvenience.

And if you’re frustrated like a lot of the homeowners we talk to and you’re ready to break the painting cycle, you’re an ideal fit for Rhino Shield.

The next group of customers that might be a good fit are those who don’t mind the painting cycle but look at it from an investment standpoint. Savvy investors know that an initial higher cost in Rhino Shield can save them thousands, if not tens of thousands, over a 25-year lifespan.

And finally, even if you’re not in your forever home but plan to be there for 2–4 years — and you value a premium product like Rhino Shield with benefits such as energy efficiency, durability, lower maintenance, and higher resale value — you could be a perfect fit as well.

Who’s not a good fit for Rhino Shield?

We want to make sure that even if you decide Rhino Shield is not for you, you’re more educated about whatever coating you decide to put on your home.

Three categories:

1. Do-it-yourselfers. Rhino Shield is only distributed through certified, authorized independent dealers across the United States. We don’t sell to homeowners for DIY projects.
2. Short-term homeowners. If you’re only going to be in your home a few years and don’t feel the investment is worth it short-term, you’re probably not a good fit.
3. Homes in serious disrepair. If the siding on your home is in bad shape and you can’t repair or replace it first, Rhino Shield isn’t going to fix those underlying problems.

Let’s talk about cost.

On average, a 2,000-square-foot home (measured by exterior walls, soffits, etc.) will cost between $13,000 and $18,000 — or $6.50 to $9.00 per square foot.

That same home, if you went with traditional painting, could cost between $5,000 and $9,000 initially — but the key word is initially. Over the 25-year lifespan of Rhino Shield, you would repaint your house multiple times.

For example, using a 2,000-square-foot home and round numbers:

• Independent painter: $2 per sq. ft. = $4,000 initial cost
• Rhino Shield average: $8 per sq. ft. = $16,000 initial cost

That $4,000 project will likely be $5,000 six years later, and more in years 12 and 18. Over 18 years, that’s about $22,000 spent on repainting.

Other types of painters:

• Small businesses: about $3 per sq. ft.
• National franchises: about $4 per sq. ft.

Even the least expensive option ends up costing more over time compared to Rhino Shield.

Two big takeaways:

• Rhino Shield saves time, energy, and thousands of dollars.
• Whether you choose Rhino Shield or not, you’ll pay for it over time — but Rhino Shield also gives you benefits like energy efficiency, durability, and weather protection for 25 years.

Color selection: Rhino Shield can be tinted to almost any color — whether you want one color, three colors, or five.

Installation process: Very similar to painting — starting with a thorough inspection, ending with your sign-off for five-star service.

Warranty:

Rhino Shield backs the product for 25 years. Your local dealer backs the labor and installation for 1–5 years, depending on location.
