Rhino Shield of Southern California

We recently had our house painted with Rhinoshield and we are very pleased with the result. The colors are definitely far more vibrant than with regular paint. We had a great experience with the very professional team from David the sales rep to Charlie and his crew who did an excellent job of preparing the house for painting, being very thorough with the painting and finally the cleanup afterward. We are very impressed with the overall quality of the work. In terms of the 25 year guarantee, well it is promising and I have no reason to believe otherwise, but obviously the proof will be in the proverbial pudding and I would really need to write another review after a few years transpire, but right now I have absolutely no reason not to give this product and the folks at Rhinoshield Knightcare, Inc. the highest of recommendations!

Sam was outstanding to explained how Rhino Shield ceramic paint is different from regular house paint.
I’m very excited about this product and am planning on coating my house with it.
The fact that there is a 25 year warranty is incredible.
No chipping or pealing or even faded color. I highly recommend this product.

woohoo

I recently had my house painted by Rhino Shield, and it looks great!!! They really know what they are doing and you can definitely tell the difference in the quality of paint. Not to mention the fact that Sam and the crew were amazing.

We have lived in our house for over 20 years. After two paint jobs of the exterior of the house we decided to give Rhino Shield a try. With a 25 year warranty, the thickness of the special paint and the pictures of other homes justed painted the decision was easy. Sam came out and explained everything. We chose the color and set up the starting date. We were sent a wonderful crew. Harley ran the ship. They came on time and finished on time. Harley did do some contraction work to replace some rotted wood on the outside of the house. He did a wonderful job at a nominal price. His crew was clean, polite, and loved what they were doing. I would highly recommend Rhino Shield to anyone who would like their paint job to be their last. My house looks brand new. Build in 1954, I could not ask for more. We had Solar panels put on about 9 months after our paint job. We needed a little touch up since the solar panel company moved our meter. Called Harley up and asked that he come out to touch up. He came right out with his crew and took care of everything thing. No problems. What a wonderful company!!!

I wish there is an option for negative stars.
Rhino Shield of Southern California, Knightcare Inc, represented by Sam and Beau and their on site supervisor Harley, finished exterior paint job for my building in Long Beach with stucco exterior about 3 months ago. This was supposed to include standard pressure washing, scrapping, stucco repair/​replacement, patching and painting. Despite the fact that they charged about twice the other bidders, I chose them because of their 25 years paint warranty and 6 years workmanship warranty. During a small roof repair few weeks ago, we discovered that the paint was easily torn and peeled-​off. Then we discovered that many newly painted areas throughout the building had the same problem. One can remove a large section of paint with one’s fingers within seconds. Click this link to see the video:
As you can see from the video, there is very little adhesion. Sam inspected the peeling off, sent samples to Rhinoshield headquarter in Florida then came back with a report that refused to acknowledge there was any problem. The report basically said that there was nothing wrong with the paint nor the workmanship and the peeling off was due to the high tensile strength of the paint. That I should leave the paint alone and not peel it off. Even though there was little adhesion, the paint was doing its job. Can you imagine this explanation from a painter? When there is no adhesion there is no protection. And to say this will last 25 years? Later they invited a third party coating inspector. The report said that while the paint adheres to the substrate below it (the newly patched stucco), the substrate (the new stucco) had multiple adhesion failure. Beau then claimed that the substrate failure was due to the wall being old and falling apart. So again he denied any responsibility and thus liability. I guess he forgot that it was his guy Harley that applied the substrate (new stuccco) that had this multiple adhesion failure. In fact, the areas of the wall where they didn’t apply new stucco did not have this adhesion failure. And even if the wall was indeed falling apart (which it wasn’t), why would a painter put a coat of paint on an unstable base? And then give it 25 years paint warranty and 6 years workmanship warranty?
It was written in the contract as part of their scope of work that:
–they will prepare the surface and
–they will replace and repair damaged stucco
So it was their responsibility to make sure the stucco was repaired/​patched properly so it is suitable to be painted.
I spent $ 65,000 on this exterior paint job, was provided with 25 years warranty and 6 years workmanship warranty and what I got was paint/​stucco that I can easily peel off with my hand. Needless to say I am not happy, in fact very angry, with their zero warranty respond.

Recently had our house painted by Rhino Shield of Socal. Very happy with final product. Everyone was professional and produced high quality work. I will definitely be recommending Rhino Shield to anyone looking to have painting done.

Absolutely love this product. Our house looks spectacular and according to the way this ‘paint’ works, it should look exactly the same way for years to come. Sam Chapetta was great and explained everything very well. Charlie Williams did some general repairs and oversaw the project. Fantastic! He really went out of his way on the final day to help me do a few extra things that I wanted to do… ie. walk the roof and adjust tiles. Did great cleanup and made sure everything was just right. Can’t say enough about these guys. Take an active role and let them know what you need and they will accommodate. So easy to talk to… don’t be afraid to ask for anything. Charlie was in contact with us every day. Thanks everyone at Rhino Shield!

I have a beach house in Ventura that gets beaten up from the environmental elements on the coast. For years I have repainted and repainted, knowing that it was a temporary solution to a really exhausting problem. The painters I hired varied over the years, some were thorough, some were not, prices varied… it was a crap shoot. Then I tried RhinoShield. From the get-​go, I loved Sam. Honest, straightforward and I could tell had a good work ethic. He believed in his product too. From the start, he explicitly laid out the pricing, product and schedule. My house is three stories with limited access. It was pretty dilapidated. They came in, put down drop cloths etc securing neighbors from potential overspray and or/​debris then spent weeks replacing old boards and then proceeded to paint the whole house white with their ceramic-​type undercoat and top coat of color. It looks beautiful. It took a few weeks but it was a big project. Sam was always right back to me if I called with a question, his workers (i.e.Harley!) were the nicest guys. It has been months now since the job was completed, we’ve had rain and sand blowing and it still looks great. It is so nice to see there are those out there who take pride in their work (coming from someone who has served our country as Sam has… it is no wonder!) Thanks guys. Job well done. Trisha D

My wife and I recently bought a house and it needed a paint job and lots of stucco repair. We came across the concept of ceramic coating and we knew this would save us lots of money over time. Being that my wife and I both run a business, we really want a good feeling from the people we hire to do work for us. When I met Harley, I knew this was a good guy. When we met Sam to go over the details, we knew he was an honest down to earth guy. Sam went above and beyond to make sure we could fit all the work needed within our budget. His team with Harley as the crew leader were awesome. A great crew — nice, polite, on time and very VERY Clean. The job site was impeccable and when our house was finished, my wife and I were through the roof happy with the entire process and how amazing our house looked. It’s good a feeling to spend a little extra and enjoy what you see every time you look at your house. We even noticed on a hot day that we didn’t have to turn on the air because the ceramic coating keeps your house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I found Harley on Unilocal and he introduced us to Sam and we are very happy. If anyone would like pictures, just let me know.

I own 13 shopping centers throughout the LA area so we constantly have to re-​paint each one every 5 – 6 years. This is not only costly but it’s always a «crap shoot» to find a dependable painter that can actually meet our deadlines. It’s been one of the toughest hassles of the property upkeep.
This is where Rhino Shield came to the rescue. I was referred to Rhino Shield from a business partner of mine that recently had their shopping center painted about 7 months ago and was very happy with the job. I gave Sam C. a call and within 1 day he was down at the shopping center and talked me through the entire process and costs. Instantly I was able to see the upgraded quality of ceramic compared to latex paint, not to mention the cost savings of not having to repaint the property for 25 years.
Rhino Shield painted the property within my tight deadline and the center looks new. The cleanup was flawless and I felt like they went above and beyond to communicate their progress. They have earned my business for life. Thank you Rhino Shield, I look forward to working with you a lot more this year as you paint my 12 other shopping centers.
