Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, it's the best time of the day I get us.
Say good afternoon, and welcome to our number four. You're
at Home with Gary Salvan. This hour is brought to
you by one Stop Pest Control. Hey, we've been talking
about mosquitoes a lot. Don't share your home this summer
with pest of any kind or mosquitoes. One Stop Pest Control.
(00:22):
Now they can send them packing from wasp under the eaves,
the termites, the prevention of mosquitoes. One Stop Pest Control.
Since a pest protection partner. You can give them a call.
You can visit their website. It's one Stop Pest Control,
all written at one stoppestcontrol dot com. Let me thank
(00:44):
them for sponsoring this hour of at Home with Gary Sullivan.
All right, we're talking about your home and if you'd
like to join us, please do so. It's eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five and let's get
back to work. Good Pete, Pete, Welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Hy Gary. I have an issue with my house that
I thought it was h only when the toilet flushed,
but it's like when the wash is filling. Now we
notice it. What it is is the pipes downstairs have
(01:25):
a very high pitched noise, and I was wondering if
a regulator could do that good.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Sure, Yeah, do you know what kind of pressure are
you running in the house now, pete.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Uf the top of my head, I don't. I've checked
it in the past, and I want to say it
was a little high, So I ended up turning it down,
but I didn't have a very good gauge that I
hooked it up to. Ah, you know the soap what
they call them soap sinks or whatever down on the bay, And.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
The best place to check it is actually an outdoor faucet. Okay,
So you know, and you want to be between you know,
you got copper pipe or galvan iceed pipe in your house?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, mostly copper, And years and years ago when we
first moved in, we had the kids were young, so
we ended up upgrading the pipes from from the regulator.
It comes out and actually goes into a one inch
pipe and then it feeds it feeds off of that
(02:38):
with like half inch pipe too, different, you know, different
circuits or whatever. But I did that mainly just so
we'd have the volume. But we never had a problem.
And just recently we noticed that someone's taking a shower
or the wash start something a little more than just
a regular sink. Yeah, and you get this high pitched
(03:02):
noise that is crazy. And when you go down and
sell her to try to diagnose it, sound travels, so
you don't know whether or not where it's coming from.
And I was thinking about putting a regulator on it
and with a y little adapter on it and screwing.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
If I could screw a gauge there, I could actually
watch the pressure.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, really, the the tester of the gauge. Really, if
you screw it to an outdoor faucet, you get a
reading right away before I did anything. Really, what I
would do is I would open up the highest faucet
in your house and the lowest faucet in your house.
I'd shut off the water and I would drain the system. Okay,
(03:54):
and one is completely drained, then I'd go ahead and
recharge the system and see if that solves it. It
sometimes will. It could be all kinds of things. It
can even be a It could be something as simple
as a loose washer. Now it'll cause a whistling sound.
It'll also cause a drumming sound sometimes, but it could
(04:20):
be both of those things. It wouldn't just have to
be pressure, and it wouldn't have to just be the
regulators process of elimination. But the first thing I would
do is I would shut off the water, open up
the faucet from the top of the bottom, and I'd
drain that whole system out and then recharge it and
see what you got.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Okay, So when I reach charge head, obviously shut the
bottom one off, open the valve, maybe leave the top
one open so it pushes air out.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly what you're doing. You're just
you're just draining all the water out of there. Sometimes
bacteria gets in there. Sometimes there's air that gets in
there that causes a screeching, and like I said, sometimes
it's a loose, loose you know, faucet washer, which is
really hard to you know, track down unless you got
(05:12):
a leak somewhere.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay, but start there. Okay, Can I give you one
more question. Sure, have a crawl space? Well, we didn't addition,
have a crawl space. We literally have to crawl on
your stomach to get through it. It's under the kitchen.
It's under the kitchen section of the house, and we
(05:39):
we add it on to the back and you can
actually it still has the basement windows and that's the
only access to get in there, so you can take
a flashlight and check in there. And we've had a
mass saves come and they did the ceiling of the
They put a vapor barrier on the ground and sealed
it and all that with the foam. But the contractor
(06:03):
put in uh, fiber glass insulation, and he did it
with the paper facing up against the floor, I mean
on the kitchen floor. Now, when you take a flashlight
and you look in there, all the fiberglass insulation's starting
to hang down.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
How's he got it supported up there?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I don't know. I'm I'm not sure. I wasn't I
haven't been in there.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Well, yeah, so so he's got there is plastic on
the ground, right, yeah, Okay, So the way he has
installed it it is it's proper the way he is
installed it with the paper up against the floor in
the in the cross space so that that vapor barrier
(06:55):
would go up against the warmest part of the house.
But the way it's usually installed in there, and you know,
ideally you would use like a foam, a close cell
foam up there. Yeah, but what they have is they
have like spring wires, you know, maybe seventeen eighteen inches
(07:18):
long net stick into the joice and straddle the inside
diameter of the joice and the the insallation sits on there.
So it might be that there just needs to be
more wires added where it's falling down, or maybe one
of those uh you know wires are gone now.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah. No, it's everywhere, the whole, it's the whole, the
whole thing.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm going to actually try to see if I can
get one of these energy saving places and see if
they can do spray foam.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Spray foam is perfect. Spray foam is is literally I
mean it's perfect that that's that would be ideal because
you'd also not only eliminate you would have insulation, but
you would also eliminate drafts. That's the thing with it.
With the fiberglass, you don't always eliminate all the drafts either,
and there's still probably some moisture down there. I mean,
(08:19):
check that flooring, make sure that that plastic is you know, overlapped,
maybe even taped, because it can get pretty humid in
those areas. If that's not the case and they can
get I thought you were going to tell me that
that fiberglass insulation was all moldy, which is a common problem. Also.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, no, I mean it looks look it's yellow and
it looks fine, just hanging down.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Okay, all right, very good, thank you, take care making
my mind. All right, let's take a break. We got Gail,
We got Bill. Sit tight, I'll get you and we'll
continue at home with Gary Salvan right here in fifty
five k see de talk station. All right, back at it.
We go just about twelve twenty on your Saturday, taking
(09:13):
your calls. We're going a little home improvement. Let's get
back to the phone calls. And we got Gail, Gail welcome.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yes, I have a roof that's almost a thirty year
roof and i'll have to replace it within maybe a
year and a half. And I've been getting all these
advertisements for spraying something on the roof that revitalizes the
roofing for up to fifteen years, makes it supposedly softer
(09:43):
or something. Are these.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Any good?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well? I think there arefore certain people, and you may
be that person. You may not. I'm not going to
say it's not good. I think it's it'll it'll it'll
make it. You know, if it was fantastic, everybody would
do it. Is the way I always say, Gail. But
let me tell you it's not a bad thing at all.
(10:12):
I'm not going to tear down their business because they
think it's good for some people. So what it does.
Let's just say you have a you know, you say
a thirty year roof and we're a year. Let's just say,
for arbitrary, we're at year twenty two and you start
(10:35):
seeing a lot of sand in your gutters, or you
start seeing some cracked shingles and you or you had
it inspected and they said boring about you know, three
years or five years or two years, you're going to
have to have that roof replaced. So you discover product.
(10:55):
It's probably roof Max. They seem to be the biggest
one in the field. They'll come out and they'll inspect
it and if they can apply their product, they will
teach you about it. And the teaching is this, we
will spray something. What protects your shingles from the sun
(11:21):
is so the sun's hitting ultraviolet rays down on the roof,
which dries out shingles and allows it to lose its
sandy finish on the surface, which keeps which then gets
the shingle exposed to the UV rays, which then breaks
down the shingle. That's how a shingle ages. Roof Max
(11:43):
comes along and says, hey, listen, for twenty five percent
I don't know what they're saying on their advertising, or
thirty percent of a cost of a roof, we will
spray our coating on there and it'll get you, will
make the shingles more supple. It will work as anahesive
(12:05):
to keep the grains of sand more adhere to the
shingle and protect it from the sun. So your roof
will last another five years. And at the end of
that time, we'll do it again. And at the end
of that time, we'll do it again. So when they
(12:26):
spray it for the cost of twenty five percent, say
a cost of a roof, they should extend the life
of that from today, not the warranty, because the roofs
never really last their whole warranty. It'll give you five
years of protection, all right, and then you're gonna have
to you know, if you don't want to roof, then
(12:49):
you'll have to pay and they'll spray it again for
another five years. Of protection. So does it work. Yes,
it does make the shingles supple. It does keep the
shingle pre protected from the sun. And you don't you know,
you don't have to buy a new roof. But that's
not for everybody, but maybe that's up for you.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah, I've had various people, Well there's been some new
roofs in the area.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So I've had.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
About maybe seven different people come up to me. And
some guy took picture of the roof with a drone
and everything, and it just happened that the week before
I was up on the roof and I was looking
at it and looked, fine, Well, he shows me this
picture and it's the roof is all wavy and the
shingles are pushed up and everything else like that. And
(13:41):
I looked at that picture and I said, that's not
my roof. I was just up there and it doesn't
look like that. And he said, well, you know, I said,
and I know that the photographs can be changed on
the phone, so that doesn't you know. So I was
just wondering. Everybody seems I've I've seen a lot of
advertisements just in the last month. Yeah, they're advertising this
(14:04):
and they're saying about it can last up to fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, with three applications.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Okay, Oh, is that what it is? Three applications?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Well, the application will protect that roof for five years.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And I think you can apply up to three applications.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Okay, that's good to know.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I didn't know about that.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, So I have one other question for all right.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Let me just pontificate here for a second. Okay, because
we got into this roofing thing last week about you know,
people having two salespeople getting in your house, high pressure,
et cetera. My wife got a thing in the mail
the other day that said, hey, your neighborhood's experienced a hailstorm.
It's a picture of a radar. Your roof, you know,
(14:54):
could be ruined and you need to replace your roof,
and we can do that. We can take care of
the insurance and everything. I just want to caution people,
find yourself a good roofer in your area. There's a
lot of good ones this driving by and trying to
(15:17):
drum up business. And I'm not saying that about the Roofmax,
that's a whole different ballgame. But replacing, don't let people
knock on your door and sell your roof. You go fine.
I mean Brian Adis Roofing. I talk about him all
the time. He does a great job. And here's the
difference he's telling you in his commercial. Go ahead and
(15:40):
get three estimates and then decide. I mean, that's honesty,
that's transparency. I just, I just it drives me nuts
when people trying to knock on your door and sell
you a roof. That's just get a good roof for there,
like got Brian Attis or Bone Dry Roofing or Ray
(16:04):
Saint Claire, a good quality roofer in your city. They'll
come out, they'll inspect your house.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Do you know anybody specifically in Cleveland that would be good?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't. I don't have a name. But ask around,
ask who your neighbors use, but and get a couple,
get several estimates. But you know, if you want to
do the roof, Max, I don't think that's a bad idea.
I mean, if I'm going to be in this home
for another two or three years and I just don't
(16:34):
want to shell out money for a roof, and I
could put a coating on there to buy me another
five years and I sell the house in two years,
that might be perfect, you know. I mean, that's a
financial decision for each homeowner. But just start willy nilly
replacing a roof and these drones. You know, God bless
(16:54):
you got up on the roof. I had my quote
for my roof one time. It was reads. I was
in California and the guy that gave me the quote
that I called, he was he pulled in his pulled
in my driveway in a car. My security camera went off.
He got out of his car, he walked around the
house and he left and he was the lowest bid
(17:19):
and he I hid two other bids, and I started looking.
One said, you know, I'd replace the flashings, and another
one said something else. And so I called the guy
and said, hey, I've got a bid, and the other
person says, I need flashing. You don't have anything. He
(17:40):
goes like, you're flashing fine, And I called the other
guy up and he goes the guy could never got
up on the group roof. He goes, you got a
flashing issue. I can send you pictures, and I know pictures,
you know, I hear what you're saying. He goes, there's
a couple holes in a flashing. Some of the wood
(18:01):
underneath that roof in that area. You can go open
your attic and you can actually you'll be able to
see it. He said, that roof is. You know, there's
some of the underlayment is actually rotting the roof deck
well to replace that. It's not a big deal, but
it's all contributing to that. And that's why I say,
if you get multiple quotes and you start learning about
(18:23):
what's going on, you can then decide who you're going
to work with. When people knock on your door, Believe me,
they're sending somebody that can sell you something, whether you
need it or not. That's who they're going to pick.
The knock on your door. And there's plenty of business
(18:44):
for roofers in this city and in Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Yeah, with the winter weather. And that was one question
I had about this spray stuff that they're talking about,
whether it would how it would hold up underneath Cleveland
gets we get ice storms over the Lake Erie, you know,
coming to the Alberta Clippers and everything, and so well
we get storms.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, and remember the roof max is is. They will
not apply it if that roof is too far gone
and it doesn't sound like yours is. So it's It's
kind of like, if you get a thirty year roof,
you're probably not going to get twenty five years out
of it. So if you're you're twenty two and you
(19:30):
get this mailer and they can get and take a
look at it, it is a preventive measure. It's not
a long term solution. But again, if you're going to
stay in the house for a couple of years, maybe
and that roof is starting to need to be replaced, um,
(19:51):
you know, maybe that's something for you. I'm not going
to say it isn't. I'm not going to say it's
a scam, but there are plenty of roofers out there
that are scamming people. And for that, I want you
to just be careful. Work with people you know in
your city, in your area, relatives, neighbors have used You
can find out who the good roofers are pretty easy.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Okay, I'll do that.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I'll check with some of the people who already had
the roaster place very good. Check that out. The other
thing is that I have a pool and it's an
in ground and the decking around it. The pool is
thirty two years old and the decking around it is
starting to spall. I noticed it last year and this
(20:35):
year it's still spawling a little bit. And when the
kids go across the thing and jump in, you get
some of that spalling into the pool.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Right, which I have to vacuum right.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
At any rate?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Is there some kind of some kind of seiler or
something that I can use that won't flake off for anything.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
That I can do around the pool area where it
is flaking?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Sure? So there's there's a patch. One patch is called
rock patch. It is a non cementatious patch where you
can patch the spawling. It'll adhere well to the concrete.
And then there is a seiler called track safe. And
(21:27):
the seiler that is track safe is a slip resistance seiler.
And you can find both of those products on a
website called dice Coatings and it's dai ccoatings dot com.
It's rock, rock patch and track safe. All right, Gail,
(21:52):
got it, Scoot, Thank you very much for the call.
Coming up. Uh, we're gonna talk about rhinoshield. Is your
house ready to be painted? Do you want it to
last a really long time? We got something a little
better than painting. Rhino shield is actually a coding we'll
learn about it together. Todd from Rhino Shield to be
joining us, and you're at home with Gary Salvan right
(22:14):
here on fifty five KRC, the talk station. Well, I
gotta ask you, is this the year kind of looking
at your house right now and going like, man, got
paint that thing again? Well, there's alternatives. And joining me
now is Todd Harville. He is with Rhino Shield. Todd,
welcome again that home with Gary Salvin. How you doing.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Great?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Gary, Thanks for having us on today.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Sure so give us kind of an introduction of what
rhino shield is. And I talked about you know, the
time of year, a lot of people are looking at
their home going like I gotta probably gotta paint my
house again? And how long does regular paint usually last?
And what is rhino shield? It's an alternative, Yes, it
(23:03):
is rhino shield.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
The primary makeup of rhino shield is an ingredient called
an elastic americ resin material. And basically what that is
in Layman's terms, it's a material that just never has
the ability to harden. And the whole idea is is
if it can't harden, it's not going to be.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Able to crack.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
But the secret thoughts of the whole, you know. You know,
rhino shield is the ceramics. Ceramics and what creates the
vapor barrier for your home, and it allows your home
to be able to breathe naturally without you know, retaining
moisture inside the walls, you know, and normal paint. You know,
(23:44):
you can get five years out of a professional paint
job by doing rhino shield. That eliminate that every five
years of setting down with somebody and trying to figure
out what to do next. And that's why we guarantee
our products for the time as we do.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
How about the fade resistance? I know that probably not
as big of a deal as it was thirty years ago.
But how's it hold colors? I see now, you know
people black and white houses like years sixty years ago,
but darker colors being used. How's it hold up against
the sun?
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Great? Because the reason is with the ceramics, it has
an OUR value of six point eight nine. That's a
reflective OUR value. So you're putting a vapor barrier on
your building. The good thing about this is it reflects
one hundred and six percent of the UV rays, so
we don't see the color fading like you would have
normal with normal pains.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
How about energy savings since you bring up reflectivity and ceramic,
is there is there an energy savings when you have
your home coated with rhino shield.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Absolutely. Just imagine you know, Gary trying to keep a
one hundred and forty degree wall cool in the summertime.
With rhino shield, your services will never get above ninety
five degrees. Uh, there's a huge savings benefit with your
your you know, air conditioning bills in the summertime.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I had a lady call, she had an order home
where she was talking about painting her brick homes.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Brick is probably the most primary thing that we do
most of and you know, the last person that you
had on the phone that she was talking about spawling.
And that's a common issue, especially around bricks and things
that are around chimneys and things of that nature. We
see a lot of homes that has significant damage from
(25:48):
uh spalling.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Mm So so energy saving, Uh, you can paint brick.
I like that breathe ability that that's a key. What
other benefits, Well, before I get into other benefits, how's
it applied.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
What we do is it's a two coat process and
we spray both of these. So there's a primer coat
that actually burns into the subshort of what we're coating,
and then we apply the top coat and that marries
and bonds to the bottom coat, and then you have
a permanent product on the house.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So how long should this last?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Well, we guarantee it for twenty five years against any
kind of peeling, cracking, or chipping. So we believe that
you are going to get that lifespan out of our coating.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
And this is professionally applied. People don't go with a
store and buy a cannon rhino shield.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Absolutely not. You know, when we go and spray our houses,
all of our crews are factory trained and they're well
to make sure that they're doing the things that we
need to have done at the home to ensure that
we can offer that twenty five year warranty.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
What other benefits do we have? I mean, it's a
great warranty for sure. If somebody is go ahead, go ahead, No,
I was going to say, and with the twenty five years,
if somebody who's going to change the color, can they
use pain over it or no?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Yeah they can't. Absolutely, So don't be afraid that if
you apply it to your home, and you know, twenty
years later you decide to sell and the new home
homeowner doesn't want to use Rhino Shield. Absolutely, you can
use whatever kind of paint that you want, but we
offer a substantial discount if folks do buy homes that
(27:47):
has Rhino Shield on it, if they're looking to recout
it for a different color.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Good. Good to know. I didn't know that. I didn't
know that. All right, the other benefits, I'm sorry, I'm
actually going to ask that question and keep it. It
is a question. I asked.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Yeah, the biggest benefit of Rhino Shield on the home
is the longevity and just knowing that you have, you know,
a local company that you know stands behind the warranty
of Rhino Shield, and that's what people you know like
and what they expect, and we, you know, provide those services.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
So I guess the thing we always come back to
is how many colors does it come in?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Sometimes Gary too many. We have over fifteen hundred colors
and we can custom color whatever the customer wants.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So usually I guess when people think
of painting a house, we think about wood clapboard house.
We talk about you know, I asked about the brick houses,
and there's people that have metal sighting and stuff and
even model sign can can it be used on that?
Or stucco? Can it be used on any substrates? There
(29:01):
are some things people need to know about that, right.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
It's our primer is the key ingredient to this whole thing,
and that's what gives all of its bonding ingredients. Aluminum
homes that we do works wonderfully. Originally, rhino shield was
developed for stucco and masonry homes, so that's the reason
why it works so well when masonry products like hardyboards
(29:28):
and sure things of that nature.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah. I always used to say metal sighting is better
than painting wood because it's not wood. You know, it's
a stable and plus stable products.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Aluminum is aluminous perfect. It looks great when it's on
the home. There's no fudging with aluminum like you can
with the vinyl. Either good at doing it or you're not.
That's why we like doing aluminum so well because of this.
The end result, this looks beautiful.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
So this this year has been crazy year. It's been
it was cool and rainy in the spring and now
it's hot and rainy in the summer. I don't know
how far you out are are out on jobs, but
I always you know, the best time to paint is
probably between now and you know, the end of October,
(30:22):
maybe even November. Do you agree with that? I mean
application time that we're we're writing a sweet spot now.
They should call now get that schedule.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Absolutely. This is a literal horse race until the end
of November, right because we have to be about forty
degrees to apply our coding and it's just a it's
an all out race to get as much done as
we can before the end of the year. And if
you're going to decide to do your house, time is
of the essence because our books are filling fast.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Okay, so let's go through that process. Somebody's listening right
now and go like, well, I'll tell you what I'm
going to be in this house for a while. I'm
not going anywhere. Twenty five years sounds fantastic. With a warranty,
I don't have to worry about that'll probably be here
another fifteen or twenty years. How they get a hold
of you and how does this process take place?
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Well, what happens is is that you can either go
online and you know, click the get a quote button
and what that What happens then is Lindsey reaches out,
sets up a time that's convenient for you guys to
have me come out, and I would be the person
that would be coming. And you know, usually that takes
(31:38):
a couple two three days for me to get to you,
and then I go and show you what it can
do to your home and get your price very good.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
And how long? I know you can't answer this because
all homes are different, but usually are you there a week?
Is it a day or two? Or yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:59):
It's this is you know a lot of folks think
that this is a two or three day you know process.
It usually takes us two or three days just to
prep the house, to get it prepared to even receive
our top coat. Normally, if we start on Monday, we
should have it wrapped up by Friday.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Excellent, excellent. All right, you got a number a website
for us there, Todd.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
Yes, yes I do. Gary. It's eight eight eight Rhino
forty one or rhinoshield ky dot com.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Right now, shield kaywy dot co. All right, well stay busy,
I'm sure you will and beat the heat huh and
protect I love the idea. Where else you're going to
talk about, quote painting your house in saving money, that's
not going to happen. The rhinoshield with the ceramic coating
(32:49):
will do just that. Plus the twenty five year warranty
sounds outstanding. And thank you for.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Your time, Thanks Gary for having us all.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Right, Todd, thank you take care of all right. So
an alternative. I wanted to give you that alternative. I
literally had that applied to my home. I should have
asked him. I'm thinking five years ago. Maybe it's been more.
And they were so efficient, it did such a great job.
(33:20):
And the I think the very next week my neighbor
was half his house done and I never had a
service call on it. It looks great and it is
fade resistant. Still looks like you just did it yesterday.
It does. I mean, it looks great. Yeah, it is
a great A little bit more expensive than paint, but uh,
you know, you got to always kind of question yourself,
(33:41):
how much more, you know, are you going to pay
to have it repainted and climbing up the ladder if
you're going to do it yourself. But certainly an alternative,
and there is a savings and reflecting the solar gain
from the sun. All right, let's take that break. We'll continue.
You are at home with Gary Salvin right here in
fifty five care see the talk station. All right, Well,
(34:04):
if it's too hot for you to be working outside today,
you know it's not too hot to just take that
trip around the house and kind of start thinking ahead.
I've said it for many years that the fall is
probably a better time to get work done around the
home than the spring. In the summer, spring it rains
(34:25):
a lot, and as you know, and can stay cooler
longer than we like. In the summer, we get that
heat and humidity and in some cases products it can't
even be utilized outside. Never good to try to patch
concrete when it's ninety five degrees for a week and
you know you're trying to you know, patch some spawling
(34:48):
or divots on the concrete surface. So if you're thinking
about service driven companies again, if or you're going to
do it yourself, well, the fall really is a good time. However,
your research and your discussions really need to start taking
(35:08):
place right now. And one of the things the heat.
We've covered that two times in two totally different places.
One was around the pool deck and I talked about
cool deck and I forget the name of the other one,
(35:31):
and then we talked about the roller rock to keep
it cool. There is a there's a big push on
minimizing solar gain and reflectivity. You just Tarned Todd talking
about it with the rhino shield. I think he said
one hundred and six percent reflectivity. Pretty strong work and
(35:51):
keeping the house cooler with a rhino shield coating. Also,
I've just been seeing some ads. I haven't really used
the product, but it's a great name when it comes
to coatings in deck care. It's Cabot just just a
huge name. And if I'm not mistaken, Sherman Williams owns
(36:15):
the Cabot line. Now I think I'm right on that.
But one of the things they're advertising right now, which
if you have an older deck, i'd really encourage you
to take a look at, especially if it's in a
western location or a southern facing, and if you've got
a deck where we've had semi transparent on there. Remember
(36:40):
I'm always talking about his not really great UV protection
to it, and we find ourselves doing our deck or
you know, maybe every two or three years. This Cabot
stain that I'm getting ready to talk about. It's in
their solid color stain. It's a specific one, and the
(37:01):
solid color stain can reduce solar heat gain by twenty degrees,
so it adds a couple of benefits. This is gonna
do your work yourself. I'm just kind of trying to
bounce everything out here. If you the solid color stain
(37:23):
is nice because it's gonna last longer. It's a solid pigment.
You know, I could see the wood grain as much,
but it's gonna last much longer, five years plus. But
it also has that reflectivity where it can lower the
(37:43):
deck temperature by twenty degrees and we're seeing that now.
I think it's fibron with the heat is a big
concern for a lot of people, and I totally agree.
It's probably been three weeks ago. We were vacation, had
a house rental in South Carolina, and there was about
(38:04):
ten steps that went up from the backyard into the
house and it was a composite decking and literally, I
guess the kids could endure it running up it, but
old people like me not so much. It was really
hot and you had to have your shoes down there
(38:24):
to get up those steps. Kids couldn't move fast enough
they could get up there. But you know, some of
those composite deckings you might ask questions about, you know,
exactly if there's any reflectivity to it. And I think
we're gonna see more and more companies coming in and
incorporating cool decking, just like we were hearing more and
(38:47):
more people coming up with cool coatings, because it can
be it can be an issue. Wood gets hot by itself.
It's not like it's just the composite. Wood gets hot
by itself. Creek gets up by itself. So it's the
you know in composite deckings. See, it's the alternatives, the additives,
(39:08):
the coatings that can really change that game for you,
and well worth asking that question. Also. Location, location, location,
If you're thinking about building a deck, maybe you're going
to do it in the fall. I'll tell you an
old tip here is take a couple of garden hoses,
connect them and lay out how you want that deck
(39:29):
to look in your backyard. And if you've got shade
trees and stuff is there, you know, how big the
deck do you want to do? Where would you position
furniture if you have it laid out kind of with
a hose, where you know the shape and where it's
what's going to be shaded, what's not going to be shaded,
and then pay attention to that and through the course
of the day and watch it become shady, become become sunny. Uh.
(39:54):
That's a that's a good idea to plan ahead and
ask those questions. So Danny boy, another busy U Saturday,
that's for sure. Thank you very much for staying on
top of all the calls. And well, tomorrow we're going
to talk with Peter Diiche. We're just talking about his
coatings and his track safe and his sailors will do
(40:16):
that at ten thirty am Eastern time, and good Lord Willing,
we'll both be back tomorrow to do it once again.
And you're at home with Gary Sullivan.
Well, it's the best time of the day I get us.
Say good afternoon, and welcome to our number four. You're
at Home with Gary Salvan. This hour is brought to
you by one Stop Pest Control. Hey, we've been talking
about mosquitoes a lot. Don't share your home this summer
with pest of any kind or mosquitoes. One Stop Pest Control.
(00:22):
Now they can send them packing from wasp under the eaves,
the termites, the prevention of mosquitoes. One Stop Pest Control.
Since a pest protection partner. You can give them a call.
You can visit their website. It's one Stop Pest Control,
all written at one stoppestcontrol dot com. Let me thank
(00:44):
them for sponsoring this hour of at Home with Gary Sullivan.
All right, we're talking about your home and if you'd
like to join us, please do so. It's eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five and let's get
back to work. Good Pete, Pete, Welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Hy Gary. I have an issue with my house that
I thought it was h only when the toilet flushed,
but it's like when the wash is filling. Now we
notice it. What it is is the pipes downstairs have
(01:25):
a very high pitched noise, and I was wondering if
a regulator could do that good.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Sure, Yeah, do you know what kind of pressure are
you running in the house now, pete.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Uf the top of my head, I don't. I've checked
it in the past, and I want to say it
was a little high, So I ended up turning it down,
but I didn't have a very good gauge that I
hooked it up to. Ah, you know the soap what
they call them soap sinks or whatever down on the bay, And.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
The best place to check it is actually an outdoor faucet. Okay,
So you know, and you want to be between you know,
you got copper pipe or galvan iceed pipe in your house?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, mostly copper, And years and years ago when we
first moved in, we had the kids were young, so
we ended up upgrading the pipes from from the regulator.
It comes out and actually goes into a one inch
pipe and then it feeds it feeds off of that
(02:38):
with like half inch pipe too, different, you know, different
circuits or whatever. But I did that mainly just so
we'd have the volume. But we never had a problem.
And just recently we noticed that someone's taking a shower
or the wash start something a little more than just
a regular sink. Yeah, and you get this high pitched
(03:02):
noise that is crazy. And when you go down and
sell her to try to diagnose it, sound travels, so
you don't know whether or not where it's coming from.
And I was thinking about putting a regulator on it
and with a y little adapter on it and screwing.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
If I could screw a gauge there, I could actually
watch the pressure.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, really, the the tester of the gauge. Really, if
you screw it to an outdoor faucet, you get a
reading right away before I did anything. Really, what I
would do is I would open up the highest faucet
in your house and the lowest faucet in your house.
I'd shut off the water and I would drain the system. Okay,
(03:54):
and one is completely drained, then I'd go ahead and
recharge the system and see if that solves it. It
sometimes will. It could be all kinds of things. It
can even be a It could be something as simple
as a loose washer. Now it'll cause a whistling sound.
It'll also cause a drumming sound sometimes, but it could
(04:20):
be both of those things. It wouldn't just have to
be pressure, and it wouldn't have to just be the
regulators process of elimination. But the first thing I would
do is I would shut off the water, open up
the faucet from the top of the bottom, and I'd
drain that whole system out and then recharge it and
see what you got.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Okay, So when I reach charge head, obviously shut the
bottom one off, open the valve, maybe leave the top
one open so it pushes air out.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly what you're doing. You're just
you're just draining all the water out of there. Sometimes
bacteria gets in there. Sometimes there's air that gets in
there that causes a screeching, and like I said, sometimes
it's a loose, loose you know, faucet washer, which is
really hard to you know, track down unless you got
(05:12):
a leak somewhere.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay, but start there. Okay, Can I give you one
more question. Sure, have a crawl space? Well, we didn't addition,
have a crawl space. We literally have to crawl on
your stomach to get through it. It's under the kitchen.
It's under the kitchen section of the house, and we
(05:39):
we add it on to the back and you can
actually it still has the basement windows and that's the
only access to get in there, so you can take
a flashlight and check in there. And we've had a
mass saves come and they did the ceiling of the
They put a vapor barrier on the ground and sealed
it and all that with the foam. But the contractor
(06:03):
put in uh, fiber glass insulation, and he did it
with the paper facing up against the floor, I mean
on the kitchen floor. Now, when you take a flashlight
and you look in there, all the fiberglass insulation's starting
to hang down.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
How's he got it supported up there?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I don't know. I'm I'm not sure. I wasn't I
haven't been in there.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Well, yeah, so so he's got there is plastic on
the ground, right, yeah, Okay, So the way he has
installed it it is it's proper the way he is
installed it with the paper up against the floor in
the in the cross space so that that vapor barrier
(06:55):
would go up against the warmest part of the house.
But the way it's usually installed in there, and you know,
ideally you would use like a foam, a close cell
foam up there. Yeah, but what they have is they
have like spring wires, you know, maybe seventeen eighteen inches
(07:18):
long net stick into the joice and straddle the inside
diameter of the joice and the the insallation sits on there.
So it might be that there just needs to be
more wires added where it's falling down, or maybe one
of those uh you know wires are gone now.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah. No, it's everywhere, the whole, it's the whole, the
whole thing.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm going to actually try to see if I can
get one of these energy saving places and see if
they can do spray foam.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Spray foam is perfect. Spray foam is is literally I
mean it's perfect that that's that would be ideal because
you'd also not only eliminate you would have insulation, but
you would also eliminate drafts. That's the thing with it.
With the fiberglass, you don't always eliminate all the drafts either,
and there's still probably some moisture down there. I mean,
(08:19):
check that flooring, make sure that that plastic is you know, overlapped,
maybe even taped, because it can get pretty humid in
those areas. If that's not the case and they can
get I thought you were going to tell me that
that fiberglass insulation was all moldy, which is a common problem. Also.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, no, I mean it looks look it's yellow and
it looks fine, just hanging down.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Okay, all right, very good, thank you, take care making
my mind. All right, let's take a break. We got Gail,
We got Bill. Sit tight, I'll get you and we'll
continue at home with Gary Salvan right here in fifty
five k see de talk station. All right, back at it.
We go just about twelve twenty on your Saturday, taking
(09:13):
your calls. We're going a little home improvement. Let's get
back to the phone calls. And we got Gail, Gail welcome.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yes, I have a roof that's almost a thirty year
roof and i'll have to replace it within maybe a
year and a half. And I've been getting all these
advertisements for spraying something on the roof that revitalizes the
roofing for up to fifteen years, makes it supposedly softer
(09:43):
or something. Are these.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Any good?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well? I think there arefore certain people, and you may
be that person. You may not. I'm not going to
say it's not good. I think it's it'll it'll it'll
make it. You know, if it was fantastic, everybody would
do it. Is the way I always say, Gail. But
let me tell you it's not a bad thing at all.
(10:12):
I'm not going to tear down their business because they
think it's good for some people. So what it does.
Let's just say you have a you know, you say
a thirty year roof and we're a year. Let's just say,
for arbitrary, we're at year twenty two and you start
(10:35):
seeing a lot of sand in your gutters, or you
start seeing some cracked shingles and you or you had
it inspected and they said boring about you know, three
years or five years or two years, you're going to
have to have that roof replaced. So you discover product.
(10:55):
It's probably roof Max. They seem to be the biggest
one in the field. They'll come out and they'll inspect
it and if they can apply their product, they will
teach you about it. And the teaching is this, we
will spray something. What protects your shingles from the sun
(11:21):
is so the sun's hitting ultraviolet rays down on the roof,
which dries out shingles and allows it to lose its
sandy finish on the surface, which keeps which then gets
the shingle exposed to the UV rays, which then breaks
down the shingle. That's how a shingle ages. Roof Max
(11:43):
comes along and says, hey, listen, for twenty five percent
I don't know what they're saying on their advertising, or
thirty percent of a cost of a roof, we will
spray our coating on there and it'll get you, will
make the shingles more supple. It will work as anahesive
(12:05):
to keep the grains of sand more adhere to the
shingle and protect it from the sun. So your roof
will last another five years. And at the end of
that time, we'll do it again. And at the end
of that time, we'll do it again. So when they
(12:26):
spray it for the cost of twenty five percent, say
a cost of a roof, they should extend the life
of that from today, not the warranty, because the roofs
never really last their whole warranty. It'll give you five
years of protection, all right, and then you're gonna have
to you know, if you don't want to roof, then
(12:49):
you'll have to pay and they'll spray it again for
another five years. Of protection. So does it work. Yes,
it does make the shingles supple. It does keep the
shingle pre protected from the sun. And you don't you know,
you don't have to buy a new roof. But that's
not for everybody, but maybe that's up for you.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah, I've had various people, Well there's been some new
roofs in the area.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So I've had.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
About maybe seven different people come up to me. And
some guy took picture of the roof with a drone
and everything, and it just happened that the week before
I was up on the roof and I was looking
at it and looked, fine, Well, he shows me this
picture and it's the roof is all wavy and the
shingles are pushed up and everything else like that. And
(13:41):
I looked at that picture and I said, that's not
my roof. I was just up there and it doesn't
look like that. And he said, well, you know, I said,
and I know that the photographs can be changed on
the phone, so that doesn't you know. So I was
just wondering. Everybody seems I've I've seen a lot of
advertisements just in the last month. Yeah, they're advertising this
(14:04):
and they're saying about it can last up to fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, with three applications.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Okay, Oh, is that what it is? Three applications?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Well, the application will protect that roof for five years.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And I think you can apply up to three applications.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Okay, that's good to know.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I didn't know about that.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, So I have one other question for all right.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Let me just pontificate here for a second. Okay, because
we got into this roofing thing last week about you know,
people having two salespeople getting in your house, high pressure,
et cetera. My wife got a thing in the mail
the other day that said, hey, your neighborhood's experienced a hailstorm.
It's a picture of a radar. Your roof, you know,
(14:54):
could be ruined and you need to replace your roof,
and we can do that. We can take care of
the insurance and everything. I just want to caution people,
find yourself a good roofer in your area. There's a
lot of good ones this driving by and trying to
(15:17):
drum up business. And I'm not saying that about the Roofmax,
that's a whole different ballgame. But replacing, don't let people
knock on your door and sell your roof. You go fine.
I mean Brian Adis Roofing. I talk about him all
the time. He does a great job. And here's the
difference he's telling you in his commercial. Go ahead and
(15:40):
get three estimates and then decide. I mean, that's honesty,
that's transparency. I just, I just it drives me nuts
when people trying to knock on your door and sell
you a roof. That's just get a good roof for there,
like got Brian Attis or Bone Dry Roofing or Ray
(16:04):
Saint Claire, a good quality roofer in your city. They'll
come out, they'll inspect your house.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Do you know anybody specifically in Cleveland that would be good?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't. I don't have a name. But ask around,
ask who your neighbors use, but and get a couple,
get several estimates. But you know, if you want to
do the roof, Max, I don't think that's a bad idea.
I mean, if I'm going to be in this home
for another two or three years and I just don't
(16:34):
want to shell out money for a roof, and I
could put a coating on there to buy me another
five years and I sell the house in two years,
that might be perfect, you know. I mean, that's a
financial decision for each homeowner. But just start willy nilly
replacing a roof and these drones. You know, God bless
(16:54):
you got up on the roof. I had my quote
for my roof one time. It was reads. I was
in California and the guy that gave me the quote
that I called, he was he pulled in his pulled
in my driveway in a car. My security camera went off.
He got out of his car, he walked around the
house and he left and he was the lowest bid
(17:19):
and he I hid two other bids, and I started looking.
One said, you know, I'd replace the flashings, and another
one said something else. And so I called the guy
and said, hey, I've got a bid, and the other
person says, I need flashing. You don't have anything. He
(17:40):
goes like, you're flashing fine, And I called the other
guy up and he goes the guy could never got
up on the group roof. He goes, you got a
flashing issue. I can send you pictures, and I know pictures,
you know, I hear what you're saying. He goes, there's
a couple holes in a flashing. Some of the wood
(18:01):
underneath that roof in that area. You can go open
your attic and you can actually you'll be able to
see it. He said, that roof is. You know, there's
some of the underlayment is actually rotting the roof deck
well to replace that. It's not a big deal, but
it's all contributing to that. And that's why I say,
if you get multiple quotes and you start learning about
(18:23):
what's going on, you can then decide who you're going
to work with. When people knock on your door, Believe me,
they're sending somebody that can sell you something, whether you
need it or not. That's who they're going to pick.
The knock on your door. And there's plenty of business
(18:44):
for roofers in this city and in Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Yeah, with the winter weather. And that was one question
I had about this spray stuff that they're talking about,
whether it would how it would hold up underneath Cleveland
gets we get ice storms over the Lake Erie, you know,
coming to the Alberta Clippers and everything, and so well
we get storms.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, and remember the roof max is is. They will
not apply it if that roof is too far gone
and it doesn't sound like yours is. So it's It's
kind of like, if you get a thirty year roof,
you're probably not going to get twenty five years out
of it. So if you're you're twenty two and you
(19:30):
get this mailer and they can get and take a
look at it, it is a preventive measure. It's not
a long term solution. But again, if you're going to
stay in the house for a couple of years, maybe
and that roof is starting to need to be replaced, um,
(19:51):
you know, maybe that's something for you. I'm not going
to say it isn't. I'm not going to say it's
a scam, but there are plenty of roofers out there
that are scamming people. And for that, I want you
to just be careful. Work with people you know in
your city, in your area, relatives, neighbors have used You
can find out who the good roofers are pretty easy.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Okay, I'll do that.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I'll check with some of the people who already had
the roaster place very good. Check that out. The other
thing is that I have a pool and it's an
in ground and the decking around it. The pool is
thirty two years old and the decking around it is
starting to spall. I noticed it last year and this
(20:35):
year it's still spawling a little bit. And when the
kids go across the thing and jump in, you get
some of that spalling into the pool.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Right, which I have to vacuum right.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
At any rate?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Is there some kind of some kind of seiler or
something that I can use that won't flake off for anything.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
That I can do around the pool area where it
is flaking?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Sure? So there's there's a patch. One patch is called
rock patch. It is a non cementatious patch where you
can patch the spawling. It'll adhere well to the concrete.
And then there is a seiler called track safe. And
(21:27):
the seiler that is track safe is a slip resistance seiler.
And you can find both of those products on a
website called dice Coatings and it's dai ccoatings dot com.
It's rock, rock patch and track safe. All right, Gail,
(21:52):
got it, Scoot, Thank you very much for the call.
Coming up. Uh, we're gonna talk about rhinoshield. Is your
house ready to be painted? Do you want it to
last a really long time? We got something a little
better than painting. Rhino shield is actually a coding we'll
learn about it together. Todd from Rhino Shield to be
joining us, and you're at home with Gary Salvan right
(22:14):
here on fifty five KRC, the talk station. Well, I
gotta ask you, is this the year kind of looking
at your house right now and going like, man, got
paint that thing again? Well, there's alternatives. And joining me
now is Todd Harville. He is with Rhino Shield. Todd,
welcome again that home with Gary Salvin. How you doing.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Great?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Gary, Thanks for having us on today.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Sure so give us kind of an introduction of what
rhino shield is. And I talked about you know, the
time of year, a lot of people are looking at
their home going like I gotta probably gotta paint my
house again? And how long does regular paint usually last?
And what is rhino shield? It's an alternative, Yes, it
(23:03):
is rhino shield.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
The primary makeup of rhino shield is an ingredient called
an elastic americ resin material. And basically what that is
in Layman's terms, it's a material that just never has
the ability to harden. And the whole idea is is
if it can't harden, it's not going to be.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Able to crack.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
But the secret thoughts of the whole, you know. You know,
rhino shield is the ceramics. Ceramics and what creates the
vapor barrier for your home, and it allows your home
to be able to breathe naturally without you know, retaining
moisture inside the walls, you know, and normal paint. You know,
(23:44):
you can get five years out of a professional paint
job by doing rhino shield. That eliminate that every five
years of setting down with somebody and trying to figure
out what to do next. And that's why we guarantee
our products for the time as we do.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
How about the fade resistance? I know that probably not
as big of a deal as it was thirty years ago.
But how's it hold colors? I see now, you know
people black and white houses like years sixty years ago,
but darker colors being used. How's it hold up against
the sun?
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Great? Because the reason is with the ceramics, it has
an OUR value of six point eight nine. That's a
reflective OUR value. So you're putting a vapor barrier on
your building. The good thing about this is it reflects
one hundred and six percent of the UV rays, so
we don't see the color fading like you would have
normal with normal pains.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
How about energy savings since you bring up reflectivity and ceramic,
is there is there an energy savings when you have
your home coated with rhino shield.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Absolutely. Just imagine you know, Gary trying to keep a
one hundred and forty degree wall cool in the summertime.
With rhino shield, your services will never get above ninety
five degrees. Uh, there's a huge savings benefit with your
your you know, air conditioning bills in the summertime.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I had a lady call, she had an order home
where she was talking about painting her brick homes.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Brick is probably the most primary thing that we do
most of and you know, the last person that you
had on the phone that she was talking about spawling.
And that's a common issue, especially around bricks and things
that are around chimneys and things of that nature. We
see a lot of homes that has significant damage from
(25:48):
uh spalling.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Mm So so energy saving, Uh, you can paint brick.
I like that breathe ability that that's a key. What
other benefits, Well, before I get into other benefits, how's
it applied.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
What we do is it's a two coat process and
we spray both of these. So there's a primer coat
that actually burns into the subshort of what we're coating,
and then we apply the top coat and that marries
and bonds to the bottom coat, and then you have
a permanent product on the house.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So how long should this last?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Well, we guarantee it for twenty five years against any
kind of peeling, cracking, or chipping. So we believe that
you are going to get that lifespan out of our coating.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
And this is professionally applied. People don't go with a
store and buy a cannon rhino shield.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Absolutely not. You know, when we go and spray our houses,
all of our crews are factory trained and they're well
to make sure that they're doing the things that we
need to have done at the home to ensure that
we can offer that twenty five year warranty.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
What other benefits do we have? I mean, it's a
great warranty for sure. If somebody is go ahead, go ahead, No,
I was going to say, and with the twenty five years,
if somebody who's going to change the color, can they
use pain over it or no?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Yeah they can't. Absolutely, So don't be afraid that if
you apply it to your home, and you know, twenty
years later you decide to sell and the new home
homeowner doesn't want to use Rhino Shield. Absolutely, you can
use whatever kind of paint that you want, but we
offer a substantial discount if folks do buy homes that
(27:47):
has Rhino Shield on it, if they're looking to recout
it for a different color.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Good. Good to know. I didn't know that. I didn't
know that. All right, the other benefits, I'm sorry, I'm
actually going to ask that question and keep it. It
is a question. I asked.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Yeah, the biggest benefit of Rhino Shield on the home
is the longevity and just knowing that you have, you know,
a local company that you know stands behind the warranty
of Rhino Shield, and that's what people you know like
and what they expect, and we, you know, provide those services.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
So I guess the thing we always come back to
is how many colors does it come in?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Sometimes Gary too many. We have over fifteen hundred colors
and we can custom color whatever the customer wants.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So usually I guess when people think
of painting a house, we think about wood clapboard house.
We talk about you know, I asked about the brick houses,
and there's people that have metal sighting and stuff and
even model sign can can it be used on that?
Or stucco? Can it be used on any substrates? There
(29:01):
are some things people need to know about that, right.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
It's our primer is the key ingredient to this whole thing,
and that's what gives all of its bonding ingredients. Aluminum
homes that we do works wonderfully. Originally, rhino shield was
developed for stucco and masonry homes, so that's the reason
why it works so well when masonry products like hardyboards
(29:28):
and sure things of that nature.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah. I always used to say metal sighting is better
than painting wood because it's not wood. You know, it's
a stable and plus stable products.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Aluminum is aluminous perfect. It looks great when it's on
the home. There's no fudging with aluminum like you can
with the vinyl. Either good at doing it or you're not.
That's why we like doing aluminum so well because of this.
The end result, this looks beautiful.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
So this this year has been crazy year. It's been
it was cool and rainy in the spring and now
it's hot and rainy in the summer. I don't know
how far you out are are out on jobs, but
I always you know, the best time to paint is
probably between now and you know, the end of October,
(30:22):
maybe even November. Do you agree with that? I mean
application time that we're we're writing a sweet spot now.
They should call now get that schedule.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Absolutely. This is a literal horse race until the end
of November, right because we have to be about forty
degrees to apply our coding and it's just a it's
an all out race to get as much done as
we can before the end of the year. And if
you're going to decide to do your house, time is
of the essence because our books are filling fast.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Okay, so let's go through that process. Somebody's listening right
now and go like, well, I'll tell you what I'm
going to be in this house for a while. I'm
not going anywhere. Twenty five years sounds fantastic. With a warranty,
I don't have to worry about that'll probably be here
another fifteen or twenty years. How they get a hold
of you and how does this process take place?
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Well, what happens is is that you can either go
online and you know, click the get a quote button
and what that What happens then is Lindsey reaches out,
sets up a time that's convenient for you guys to
have me come out, and I would be the person
that would be coming. And you know, usually that takes
(31:38):
a couple two three days for me to get to you,
and then I go and show you what it can
do to your home and get your price very good.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
And how long? I know you can't answer this because
all homes are different, but usually are you there a week?
Is it a day or two? Or yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:59):
It's this is you know a lot of folks think
that this is a two or three day you know process.
It usually takes us two or three days just to
prep the house, to get it prepared to even receive
our top coat. Normally, if we start on Monday, we
should have it wrapped up by Friday.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Excellent, excellent. All right, you got a number a website
for us there, Todd.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
Yes, yes I do. Gary. It's eight eight eight Rhino
forty one or rhinoshield ky dot com.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Right now, shield kaywy dot co. All right, well stay busy,
I'm sure you will and beat the heat huh and
protect I love the idea. Where else you're going to
talk about, quote painting your house in saving money, that's
not going to happen. The rhinoshield with the ceramic coating
(32:49):
will do just that. Plus the twenty five year warranty
sounds outstanding. And thank you for.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Your time, Thanks Gary for having us all.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Right, Todd, thank you take care of all right. So
an alternative. I wanted to give you that alternative. I
literally had that applied to my home. I should have
asked him. I'm thinking five years ago. Maybe it's been more.
And they were so efficient, it did such a great job.
(33:20):
And the I think the very next week my neighbor
was half his house done and I never had a
service call on it. It looks great and it is
fade resistant. Still looks like you just did it yesterday.
It does. I mean, it looks great. Yeah, it is
a great A little bit more expensive than paint, but uh,
you know, you got to always kind of question yourself,
(33:41):
how much more, you know, are you going to pay
to have it repainted and climbing up the ladder if
you're going to do it yourself. But certainly an alternative,
and there is a savings and reflecting the solar gain
from the sun. All right, let's take that break. We'll continue.
You are at home with Gary Salvin right here in
fifty five care see the talk station. All right, Well,
(34:04):
if it's too hot for you to be working outside today,
you know it's not too hot to just take that
trip around the house and kind of start thinking ahead.
I've said it for many years that the fall is
probably a better time to get work done around the
home than the spring. In the summer, spring it rains
(34:25):
a lot, and as you know, and can stay cooler
longer than we like. In the summer, we get that
heat and humidity and in some cases products it can't
even be utilized outside. Never good to try to patch
concrete when it's ninety five degrees for a week and
you know you're trying to you know, patch some spawling
(34:48):
or divots on the concrete surface. So if you're thinking
about service driven companies again, if or you're going to
do it yourself, well, the fall really is a good time. However,
your research and your discussions really need to start taking
(35:08):
place right now. And one of the things the heat.
We've covered that two times in two totally different places.
One was around the pool deck and I talked about
cool deck and I forget the name of the other one,
(35:31):
and then we talked about the roller rock to keep
it cool. There is a there's a big push on
minimizing solar gain and reflectivity. You just Tarned Todd talking
about it with the rhino shield. I think he said
one hundred and six percent reflectivity. Pretty strong work and
(35:51):
keeping the house cooler with a rhino shield coating. Also,
I've just been seeing some ads. I haven't really used
the product, but it's a great name when it comes
to coatings in deck care. It's Cabot just just a
huge name. And if I'm not mistaken, Sherman Williams owns
(36:15):
the Cabot line. Now I think I'm right on that.
But one of the things they're advertising right now, which
if you have an older deck, i'd really encourage you
to take a look at, especially if it's in a
western location or a southern facing, and if you've got
a deck where we've had semi transparent on there. Remember
(36:40):
I'm always talking about his not really great UV protection
to it, and we find ourselves doing our deck or
you know, maybe every two or three years. This Cabot
stain that I'm getting ready to talk about. It's in
their solid color stain. It's a specific one, and the
(37:01):
solid color stain can reduce solar heat gain by twenty degrees,
so it adds a couple of benefits. This is gonna
do your work yourself. I'm just kind of trying to
bounce everything out here. If you the solid color stain
(37:23):
is nice because it's gonna last longer. It's a solid pigment.
You know, I could see the wood grain as much,
but it's gonna last much longer, five years plus. But
it also has that reflectivity where it can lower the
(37:43):
deck temperature by twenty degrees and we're seeing that now.
I think it's fibron with the heat is a big
concern for a lot of people, and I totally agree.
It's probably been three weeks ago. We were vacation, had
a house rental in South Carolina, and there was about
(38:04):
ten steps that went up from the backyard into the
house and it was a composite decking and literally, I
guess the kids could endure it running up it, but
old people like me not so much. It was really
hot and you had to have your shoes down there
(38:24):
to get up those steps. Kids couldn't move fast enough
they could get up there. But you know, some of
those composite deckings you might ask questions about, you know,
exactly if there's any reflectivity to it. And I think
we're gonna see more and more companies coming in and
incorporating cool decking, just like we were hearing more and
(38:47):
more people coming up with cool coatings, because it can
be it can be an issue. Wood gets hot by itself.
It's not like it's just the composite. Wood gets hot
by itself. Creek gets up by itself. So it's the
you know in composite deckings. See, it's the alternatives, the additives,
(39:08):
the coatings that can really change that game for you,
and well worth asking that question. Also. Location, location, location,
If you're thinking about building a deck, maybe you're going
to do it in the fall. I'll tell you an
old tip here is take a couple of garden hoses,
connect them and lay out how you want that deck
(39:29):
to look in your backyard. And if you've got shade
trees and stuff is there, you know, how big the
deck do you want to do? Where would you position
furniture if you have it laid out kind of with
a hose, where you know the shape and where it's
what's going to be shaded, what's not going to be shaded,
and then pay attention to that and through the course
of the day and watch it become shady, become become sunny. Uh.
(39:54):
That's a that's a good idea to plan ahead and
ask those questions. So Danny boy, another busy U Saturday,
that's for sure. Thank you very much for staying on
top of all the calls. And well, tomorrow we're going
to talk with Peter Diiche. We're just talking about his
coatings and his track safe and his sailors will do
(40:16):
that at ten thirty am Eastern time, and good Lord Willing,
we'll both be back tomorrow to do it once again.
And you're at home with Gary Sullivan.
