Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome now number four and you're at home with Gary Salvan,
taking it through another weekend, getting a few things done
around the home. And uh, well, let me give you
the phone number. It's five one three seven nine fifty
five hundred. Talk to our friends from Rhino Shield at
the bottom of the hour. In the meantime, Dan, welcome,
Hey Gary, How are you doing doing fine? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So I got a question for you. Uh, someone spilled
chocolate ice cream on my concrete. I used some the
powersher and some other solvents and nothing takes it up.
It still has a stain. Anything you can.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Recommend, Boy, I'm surprised the pressure washer didn't take care
of chocolate ice cream.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It's still like a stain on the concrete.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Have you used any type of cleaner with it, or
you know, like a down liquid soap or anything along
those lines.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
No, I didn't try any of that with it. I
just used the power washer thing. Anyway, Yeah, I can.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I would probably take some dawn liquid so and you
know we the concrete put a little bit of that
on there. Take the a scrub brush and just agitate
that area and then let it sit, not till it dries,
but just let it sit for a little bit, then
use your pressure washer and see if that doesn't take
(01:18):
care of it. Okay, I think I think that might help.
I think it's going to need a little help besides
just pressure because that chocolate, when it melts, it'll penetrate
down into the capitlaries of the concrete. Now, the first
time you do this, you might have to do it
a couple of times. I've not had this problem before,
(01:39):
but you might have to do it a couple of
times to you know, it'll fade the first time for sure,
and you know a few more times maybe to totally
remove it. But chocolate, it's a big problem if like
walnut and walnut stains get on the concrete, but chocolate,
I wouldn't see where that would be a huge problem. Okay, right,
(02:01):
appreciate it, right, Good luck to you, Take care all right?
And is it Zola?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I listened to last week when you were somebody was
calling to you by trust for yellow jackets.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Uh h.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I had got stone twice in one week. And I
tell you and I murder and they get into our
mailbox and every morning we have to go and see
if someone is there, and spray and.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
I just I just had a note that's not the
accused you.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, yeah, so you were talking about the trust. Where
do you find and how.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Do you Yeah? Yeah, so you know, hornets, wasp, yellow jackets,
they're all really active right now.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yes, was like a hundred and one.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah. Their seasons are coming to an end and they
know it, and so they get a little aggressive. The
sprays work fine, but you got to see him to
hit him, right.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Uh, yes, yes, my son said. They say they get
out before you get able to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Right.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
But if the postman has complained about it and we don't,
I don't want him to get stung. I already did
twice this weekend. I can't take it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah. So yellow jacket, Yeah, the yellow jacket traps you
can find in hardware stores. I'm also going to give
you a website to take a look at them. They're
very effective. They're they you know, since they're just in
your area, they're not really concentrated in one place. But
(03:38):
you would like if if it were on a patio
and people were always gathering on the patio, you would
set these traps about ten feet away from the patio.
So if you have an area.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
You can't see where they are because they also I
I'm em Florida and it's a lot of wheezh intends
that you've got to keep pulling and they count it there.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Well, but the mail Yeah, well I I get that.
They're everywhere. So here here's the problem. They are kind
of everywhere and you're not. You're you're going to help
control them. There's a nest somewhere and you don't know
where that nest is. So we can't really make the
whole problem go away. All we can do is set
(04:22):
out a trap that attracts them to the trap and
eliminates them. Okay, so rather than going to your mailbox,
they'll probably find a way to go to the trap instead.
So what you want to do is the website is
called Rescue r E s c u E rescue dot com.
(04:46):
And take a look at the yellow jacket traps again.
I've seen them also in ace hardware stores. They are
you know, about size of two hands, and there is
there is an attract in there and they climb in
to get the attracting and they don't come out. So
that's how you're going to control them, and they're drawn.
(05:10):
I'm sorry, does he kill them? Yeah, no, it'll eliminate
them and they're drawn to that trap. So they're gonna
be drawn to that trap instead of your mailbox. Okay,
so that's yeah. There's no real spray barrier that you're
gonna eliminate them. But those yellowjacket traps are made by Rescue.
(05:32):
It's Rescue dot com and very effective they are.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Okay, well, thank you, because last week I was listening
and then you will knock out with a football game
and I didn't get all the decays.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
All right, well, thank you, all right, very is all.
Thank you. I appreciate that call. If you'd like to
join us, do so. It's eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five. Of course we're talking home improvement.
You know one other things the nest. If you have
yellowjackets hornets, people call them different things, and there's a
(06:06):
lot of different varieties. Certainly a pest control company can
certainly help you out. But the secret if you start
finding these little hornets in your house, the secret is,
and I know it's not easy, you got to find
the nest. You have to eliminate the nest. And where
would that nest be. Well, if you're finding the horns inside.
(06:28):
You probably got the nest inside. Where would that be, Well,
it could be where I found one that was in
my house is a number of years ago. It was
on a top shelf of some storage cabinets, which was
right next to the ventilation pipe off the furnace. I
(06:50):
was gonna say water here, but I think it was
the furnace and there was a gap underneath that pipe
and the wall, and they were getting in there, and
they actually made the nest on the top shelf of
the storage around and we found that. It took us
a couple of weeks to find it, but we found it.
And then they're also a probability could be that they're
in the attic. The nest is actually in the attic.
(07:11):
Maybe there's a broken screen and a soft event and
the hornets have actually built a nest in into the attic.
And at that point you could have a pest control
company come in and remove it because the small juvenile
hornets are inside that nest, and so you can spray
(07:34):
all you want, but you're not going to eliminate them
unless that nest is open. And that's that's that's a
that's a different ballgame, right, So you got to find
a nest, and if it's subject to cold temperatures freezing,
that's usually the end of their life cycle. So they,
(07:56):
like I said, they know they're on bard time and
they're getting a little restless, and you need to, uh,
you need to find that nest or have somebody find
it for you. Eight hundred eighty two three eight two
five five A quick break, and then we'll start off
with Ellen. You're at home with Gary Salvan right here
on fifty five K seed Detalk station. All right, back
(08:18):
at it. We go to twelve eighteen. Then let's go
to Ellen Ellen.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Welcome, Hi Ellen, Hi Gary. I'm glad you took my car.
I enjoy listening to your show.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
I have a retaining wall. It's about three four feet
high and the capstones are becoming poorous. Okay, is there
anything that I could do to steal them?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Or yeah, there certainly is. So. Just like we would
seal driveway sidewalks and bricks and things like that, a
capstone would require a stone sealant, which you can pick
up pretty much anywhere. A stone cealant is a penetrant
(09:04):
all that goes into the concrete or into the capstone
and seals it, but you can't tell there's anything on it,
which is I think what you want. You don't want
a shiny capstone when the rest of the wall is
you know, you know, a flat finish. So yeah, that's
what you would use.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
You would use you do brush it on or well
you could do.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It multiple ways. I mean there is a hum. It
could be brushed, it could be rolled, it could be
sprayed with like a tank spray, or if you got
a lot of it, so any of the above. The
viscosity of it is like water, so it's very thin.
So again I don't know how much how long this
(09:49):
capstone is, but like I said.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Yeah I have, I have it's around my swimming pool
and the pool is like thirty six feet, so I'd
say maybe defeat because it kind of occurs around the corner.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, well it might be advantageous then to just use
a little tank spray you know, where you pour it in,
you pump it up, and you just missed the capstone.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Now, when the capstones were put on, they were pretty smooth.
Now they're rough, so that won't smooth them out. It'll
it won't be getting well.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Right, So that was gonna be. My question is what
do you think has caused that capstone to get rough?
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, I don't either, because.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
I've had them. Well, I've had the pool in since
ninety five and the capstones got bad and I had
them replaced once, HU maybe fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah. Well the only thing I could think of is
maybe they kind of hold water and when you go
through you know, you're in Cincinnati and or you're in Pennsylvania,
aren't you.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Yes, I'm in western Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Okay, so you go through freestall cycles there too, very much. Yeah,
so maybe that with the moisture and the cold and
the hot and the expansion and stuff like that would
pop the surface off. Usually when we have the the
top of a say it driveway, you know where it
starts getting a little rough and a little pitted. It's
(11:24):
usually caused by rock salt. But you're not going to
have that problem on a capstone. So I got a
moisture in ceiling that would offer a you know, uh,
you know, some protection. Did you? Thank you?
Speaker 6 (11:41):
And then I had another question. I have a oak door,
my front door. It's almost one hundred years old, and
it has a lot of crafts and detail on it,
and I want to preserve it, and I've had it varnished,
but it faces the west and the sun it in
the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
H yeah, okay, And.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
And I have a storm door but it's all glass.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, and that doesn't help it. No, it doesn't, right,
So what's happening to it? How how if you had it.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
Varnished to see where the sun is kind of bleaching
it out?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah? After how long did it take it to.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
I haven't had it varnished for probably ten years?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Okay? So second question, is.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Any varnished that has like a UV protecting.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah, well that's one thing. It probably had to have
something or it wouldn't the lasted ten years. But yeah,
so you know, the the UV from the sun is
causing the issue. It would have caused the issue within
two to three years if a polyurethane was used. But
if a marine eu athane or or a czar not
(13:04):
a czar but a Jesus Pizza Helman's type product called
spar your thing, it would resist that A marine and
spar would both resist the UV rays so that it
wouldn't start showing damage to that finish for probably eight
to ten years.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
That's real shiny, isn't It.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Doesn't have to be. You can get in a satin,
You can get it in a semi gloss, and you
can get it. You might even be able to get
it in a flat. I don't know about that, but
usually gloss, semi gloss and satin is usually what you us.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Okay, I understand.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And and it's not like you got to strip that door,
since it is just wearing and starting to bleach out
the wood. If they take like a four hundred grit
wet dry paper, go over that surface to the door,
and then put another coat of spar marine your thane
(14:05):
on it, let it dry, buff that out with a
four hundred or six hundred grid, put another coat of
the spar marine your thinge that having that sheen and
that protect and over it should rejuvenate the door and
bring back the faded stain. A lot of times it's
the finish that's gone that makes the stain look faded.
(14:28):
Right now, if you let it go too long, obviously
you'll lose the magnitude of that stain also.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
But chan, yeah, I don't want to let it go
too long. But I do notice that it's starting to fade.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
I really appreciate your advice. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Gary, all right, you're welcome, thank you, and Alice welcome.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Yes, curious what you know about a product called it
evolved stone. We've got to installed in our the bottom
level and upper bay window. You know had that you
know that bump out, you know, two story bump out,
and it was always rotting. It was wood, and so
(15:13):
we had weather proofing done and lots of layers, and
then the evolved stone put on top and it was
improperly installed. So I wanted to know what you know
about that product first and then maybe if you can
help me with a fix.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Well, I I, yeah, I'm familiar with it, and it's
probably one of the hottest categories in the building supply
business right now. It's kind of faux stone, which is
very durable, and you know it's it's lower lower labor
But so how was it misinstalled? So I'm familiar with
(15:56):
the product, I know it, I haven't installed it. I
don't know much more than that whole category. It has
great fire ratings, it looks awesome, but how can how's
it you know, installed wrong? Or what's going on there?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
So what we were sold that the product would do
is using four inch nails that the product itself and
I initially was like, how does it do this? But
we were told and sold that it would somehow mold
(16:35):
itself over the nails so that you would never see
the nail hole or the nail heads or anything. So
what happened when that and that was not the case.
And it looked like when the sun hit it when
they were just finished, it looked like the night sky.
I mean it was I saw every single flat had
(16:58):
nail and we talked to the manufacturer. They said it
was installed and properly, that the nails should have gone
in at an angle so that all you there was
now I know. So the manufacturer's first fixed was to
dab which the contractor did, uh, dab WB forty in
(17:23):
every hole. Now there are at least two, if not
three nails in each piece because it looks like a
stack stone typing rape. So so they did and they
dabbed WB forty. I didn't know what that was supposed
to do. But the next morning I have and still have,
(17:44):
just gray spots that that they said, oh, that's the
from the dust from the nails. Being driven in and
it is. It is not hard at Allurrently, I'm working
on not doing business with this contractor anymore and having
(18:04):
the manufacturer, well, I.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Think you know, to be honest with you, Alice, I mean,
we both kind of know what the problem is, and
so does the manufacturer, and the issue is with the contractor.
And I agree with you, I don't I would definitely
drag this this manufacturer in to the because I don't
(18:26):
think you're going to gain any satisfaction. I mean, you've
certainly tried, you can try again, but eventually you're gonna
want to get off that merriga round. And uh, I
think I would buddy up with the with the manufacturer
and see if we can get some uh you know,
get some at least get some new product in there,
(18:49):
and then somebody, I think it's going to have to
be removed. I mean, it's one of the beautiful things
about it is it's easy to install. The reason these
products were invented, quite honest, is running on short supply,
on good contractors and especially mat and masons. They're trying
(19:09):
to make these products where everybody can install them. And
here we have a problem with a product they call
them faux products, faux because it's not the real thing,
but it looks like the real thing. So yeah, Unfortunately,
I would I would really lean on the manufacturer to
help you resolve it. Otherwise you're gonna have to just
(19:31):
continue to battle with the contractor. I mean, you know,
it's easy for me to sit here and say it
shouldn't have happened. But it shouldn't have happened. Well, good luck.
Keep me posted and coming up. If you're looking at
your house and you say, boy, I'd like to have
a new coating on that, Hey, is it pain or
is it actually a coating like Rhino shield. You've probably
(19:51):
heard me talk about a rhino shield coating for your home. Well,
that's what we'll discuss next. You're at Home with Gary Salvin.
Right here five kr SE Detalk station. All right, back
at it. We go at home with Gary salvn. Todd
Harville is with Rhino Shield and we're going to talk
(20:12):
about protecting the exterior of your home. Todd, Welcome to
at Home with Gary Salvin.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
How you doing great, Gary, pleasure being with you today.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
So I saw your trucks in the neighborhood this week,
and they did they did a great job. I was
watching them because they're there a few days, and I
know some jobs you can do in a half a
day and other jobs where there's a little bit of repair.
And your guys were replacing a couple of boards and
(20:43):
different things and house looks awesome. So tell everybody a
little bit about Rhino Shield and you know the history
of the company and what it choosed on. It's the
next year you're coding, but kind of walk us through
the product, all.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Right, Gary, Our Rhino Shield has been worldwide since seventy
seven and we've been in Cincinnati's for the last twenty years.
And what the primary makeup of our coating is is
an elastic americ resin membrane along with ceramics, and what
that does is it beautifies the home without you know,
(21:19):
diminishing the look of the home. So it's going to
maintain the integrity of the substrate that we're coating on.
A couple of things that we do that stands apart
with other companies is the prep work. We we do
our due diligence, the pressure wash hands, scrape down all
(21:39):
the surfaces and then shoot a adhesive primer on the
on the building and that's the magic. Once that goes on,
we're able to put our top coat that marries and
bonds to the bottom coat, and then you've got a permanent, breathable,
expandable product on the home that we know it's going
to last for twenty five years with out any issues. Sure,
(22:03):
and that's why we warrant you for that length of time.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, Todd, a lot of people listening right now going like, well,
it sounds like you're getting your house painted. Big difference
between a rhino shield and house paint.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, you're You're doing a whole lot more than just
putting regular house paint on it. One of the major
things that the difference between regular house paint and Rhino
shield is the typical paint you get from your hardware
box stores is eighty percent water and you have a
very very small amount of material that's gonna last very long.
(22:37):
That's why they give you a two year paint guarantee
under can UH and you're crossing your fingers to hope
that it lasts for five years. Hinall shields a little
bit different in the fact that we spray our coatings
on eight to ten milstick versus you know, one one
and a half meals with traditional paints. So it's a
substantial thickness that we're putting on the home. And again,
(22:58):
it doesn't take away from what we're coating. So if
you we're doing wood and things of that nature, you're
gonna see the wood grain not holds all the definition
definition of that wood, and it just looks beautiful and
we're said and done.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
The one of the things. There's such a difference, folks.
I have it on my house and I guess it's
been on six seven years, and it is it's so different.
It's amazing. When it first came out, I think a
lot of times it was created like a specialty coating
(23:35):
for aluminum siding or vinyl sighting, But the Rhino shield
really can be applied to just about any type of substrate.
Is that true, Todd?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
That is true. Originally our coating was originally engineered for
stucco masonry products well, because of the breatheability component in it.
Brick and along with any other you know, substrate has
to be able to breathe naturally, right, and when you
block it with traditional paints, you're trapping in moisture and
it's you know, promoting rot to the wood. Sure, with
(24:08):
rhino shield, we're able to keep that moisture out of
the house and from going through our coating back into
the house. And that's the major difference between our.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Coating well water. Yeah, water is certainly our number one enemy,
that's for sure. It also you mentioned ceramic h when
you were describing rhino shield, and I don't want to
gloss over that because of ceramic coating on our next
cheer of a home offers some huge benefits in terms
(24:41):
of lowering energy costs, and you got the data for that.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Absolutely. Absolutely, ceramics in our coating, that's what we use
as a filler, so we don't use any clay or
chalk ceramics. What that does is it reflects one hundred
and six percent of the ub raised, so we don't
experience to fading like you do with traditional paints. Also too,
is that we're able to keep that wall. That surface
(25:08):
of that wall is never going to get above ninety
five degrees, which is huge especially for air conditioning season. Right.
You know, it's just gonna take a lot less energy
to keep a ninety five degy wall versus one hundred
and forty de walk.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
So it's it has a radiant barrier to a degree
to it also absolutely absolutely, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I mentioned two point eight nine our value and what
that our value is is a reflective our value, which
is unheard of for a paint to be able to
have that kind of our value.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Right, So we got all kinds of substrates we can
put the rhino shield on. We have some energy benefits,
and one of the biggest things that makes us want
to paint is the colors get faded. You know, your
maroons become a light pink, your dark greens, you just
(26:01):
become a lime. You said it has qualities to reflect
a UV rays, So it's relatively I mean it's outdoors,
but I mean it has UV resistance for sure.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Absolutely it does.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
How does it do with mold and mildew and algae?
That's a big concern on a lot of people's homes.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Great question. Not only does our top coat have mild
decide is that prevents new growth of mold, mill dow
and algae. That's fine and dandy, But it's our primer
that is the magic. It has an ingredient in it
that kills the bacteria that grows. All three the only
primer on the market that kills all three of those bacterias.
(26:45):
We get rid of the old and we help prevent
the new with our top codes.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You said, Ryer, She'll kind of got into it over stucco.
And of course, the big problem with stucco is some
of the things we just talked about, you know, the
insulating virule use, the fading, the mules, the milldew. But
probably the biggest thing with stucc though, is hairline cracks.
In Since rhino shield is a coating and not a pain,
(27:11):
does it bridge hairline cracks.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Absolutely when we're doing our prep work. We do our
due diligence to make sure that those are sealed with
an elastic merrick cealant before we apply our coating. But
any kind of hairline cracks that you might have in
brick that is generally, you know, rather small, our coating
is able to bridge those without any issues in the
future because our coating is expandable, so it's able to
(27:38):
you know, expand a contract and be able to handle
any kind of movement like a normal brick job would say,
would normally you know, have throughout the year.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Todd Harville, he's my guess, he's with rhino shield. You've
mentioned brick now two types, Todd, So I got to
ask you a question about this, and it doesn't really
pertain to my house, but I see, you know, years
and years ago, there was a lot of houses that
were just white with black trim, and uhuse, look, yeah,
(28:09):
certainly that's still that's a big trend. Now kind of
went away, but it's a big trend. And I see
more and more brick homes being turned white and then
having the black trim. Do you mean obviously the rhiner
shield goes over brick offers those additional benefits. Is is
that a trend? Are you getting some of that business?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Sometimes we we do a fair amount of white house
with black windows. That's more of the lines of our
new construction that we get involved in. Traditionally, you know,
most people are picking the color with your you know,
your traditional white trim, just to make that color pop. Okay,
that's what they're looking for.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Well, there was a house in our neighborhood which was interesting.
It was a you know, like a typical brick home
and this family bought this home in I don't know
what they used on the brick, but it was white
when they're paint, it's like, oh my god, that's good.
I don't know if I like that. And then they
did the black trim, and I still didn't know if
(29:12):
I like And I had people going like, is that
white gonna hold up? Well, it depends how it's prepared,
what they used. When they were finished, todd it looked beautiful.
And I mean it looked beautiful. So I don't know
if that's something, uh, you guys want to go after,
(29:33):
or there's much of a trend or not. But with
a Rhino shield man with a twenty five year warranty,
that'd be outstanding. That's an outstanding way to utilize your
product and change the look of a house. It turned
out really good.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Absolutely, White's always a good color to put on a house,
especially with any other type of color. It just glows
when the job gets done.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, well of course it stands up to the side
the rain and all that. Let's take a break, we'll
come back. I want to go through the whole process
and how people can reach out to you and get
a quote of what Rhino shield will cost them to
kind of change the look of their home. But I
don't think anybody's all excited about paying somebody to paint
their home every five to seven years. So we'll eliminate
(30:19):
that problem. Todd Harville, he is, my guess, he is
with Rhino Shield, and you're at home with Gary Salvan
right here on fifty five krc DE Talk station. Well,
when I have a project of the week and this
is this is a big one, Todd Harville, he is
with Rhino Shield. We're talking about this fantastic coding for
the ex tear of your home that offers you many
(30:42):
benefits from energy savings to lowering the wall temperature, the
X tier of the wall, your house resistance the mold, mildew,
ALGAEUV ray salt, even bridges hairline cracks. It does a
phenomenal job. First question, Todd, following what it is is
(31:04):
when we're talking about coatings on the X tier of
our house? Uh, what is my choices and colors?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Colors? We have over fifteen hundred colors that you can
choose from. Okay, all all of our colors are to
be determined. So when the crew gets there to you know,
the painter your house, you're going to plenty of time
to dial in that color. We put a sample on
the house, and we just make darn sure that you're correct,
you're you know, you're you know, choosing the right color
(31:35):
and you're satisfied with that color.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Can you do multiple colors? I know sometimes you want
a different color front door, a different colored trim, and
then the field would be one another color.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Absolutely. Traditionally a house is three colors. Okay, the walls,
the soft and facia different color, and then the front
door and the shutters are traditionally a third color.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
So starting with the process, people listening right now and go, yeah,
I'd like to kind of inquire about it. How did
they do that? What is the process to kind of
get the ball rolling?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Well, first of all, you could call Lindsey eight eight
eight Rhino forty one and she will be happy to
set up a time that's convenient for you to have
me come out and take a look at your house
and give you down to a detailed proposal what it
would take to do your home.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Okay, very very simple. Okay, it sounds simple. I like that.
Do you guys do commercial work also, I know you
do residential work?
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yes, we do. The last job that we did that
was any size to it was downtown Sincy, the Marriotte
Town Suites. We did that three years ago, which was
a nice project. We had done the Madison Theater thirteen
fourteen years ago and it still looks great today. So
if anybody was ever interested in looking at our product,
(32:56):
you can actually go by and touch and feel and
see what ranolpstill looks like after thirteen fourteen years being
on a building.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
So once I get the bid to do it and
we say okay, we're ready to go, and we got
the color selected. How So prep's always the key. You
certainly know that whether it's runner shield or whatever it is,
prep is the key. Can you walk me through the
preparation like they were even in my neighborhood this week
(33:26):
they were changing out some boards. They probably hit some
wood rod in some of the boards of the house.
Walk through on the prepping before the runners shield is applied.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Well, the first thing that we do, we are going
to pressure wash the home. Our crews knows what tips
to use to ensure that they're getting the most of
the paint off without creating more damage to your home.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Good path.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Then what they're going to do is they're going to
hand scrape down the surfaces and what they're looking for
is anything that's rotten or anything that's damaged, and they're
going to address it to the homeowner. And this is
what we have going on here. Rotten. There's just no
choice in no matter, We're going to replace that for
a minimal cost. Damaged. It's your house. I mean, this
(34:13):
is what it's going to look like if we coat
over it. We highly recommend that you replace anything that's
rotten or damaged. Then after that we tape off the
areas that we're not going to be coating. We do
our due diligence not to have any overspring on uh
you know, windows or doors that's not being coated, and
then we're gonna shoot it with our eas of primer.
(34:36):
And what that is engineered to do. It's actually engineered
to burn into the pores of what we're coating and
it becomes part of the substrate. So once it's on there,
it's on there. We'll usually let that set for a
day and then we go back and we shoot it
with our with our Mino shield top coat. And that
is a process usually takes about five days from start
(34:59):
to finish to do a you know, traditional size home.
If we're doing a whole home three or four days
if we're just doing trim.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yeah, I'll tell you. I don't know how long it's
been since I've had the rhino shield on my house, Todd.
I'm going to guess it's probably been six years, but
you know how time flies.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Oh, it could be you know, eight years. I look
at the file.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yeah, yeah, and it's knowing you were going to be
a guest. I kind of gave it a pretty good
examination a couple of days ago, and it looks like
today it was applied. In fact, I washed it down
the front door because the only thing I could find
is it was dusty.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Right. What we recommend about every year or every other year,
that you hose it down with a vinyl siding cleaner
type material. There used to be a product out there
that Low's used to sell any kind of traditional wedding
for get would be a good product to clean up
your home.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Sure, sure, so it looks good and you do the
proper preparation work. But I was amazed. I don't have
a large field, so it was a lot of trim.
But I think those guys did it in two or
three days, probably closer to two. And that crew they
were meticulous. Uh, they really were. They were. They were outstanding.
(36:28):
And because I was you know when they when I
was doing trim and they were gonna spray it and
they're taping up all the windows, I was like, I
hope this is gonna turn. They were phenomenal and that
coating was you know, the viscosity of the rhino shield
and the texture it just looked. It looked phenomenal. So yeah,
(36:51):
for people know it is sprayed on, and I got
kind of tought a lesson to be honest with you,
that that is an efficient way to apply that for sure.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Yeah, what we're looking for is the consistency of eight
to ten yeals thick. When you traditionally roll or brush,
you're pulling the coating and you're thinning it out, so
you really don't know how thick it is when you're
when you're at this set has done part of it.
When we spread, we know we're getting to consistency that
we're looking forward to make sure that we're going to
(37:23):
get the longevity out of the coating.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Yeah. Like I said, I got schooled a little bit,
So that's cool. Twenty five year warranty is that how
long it's going to last? Is it going to last
a little longer? And what's the warranty.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Cover warranty is is we have a twenty five year
product warranty against any kind of peeling, cracking, or chipping
whatever conventional paint does, we guarantee it not to do that. Also,
our distributorship, which we've been in Cincinnati for twenty years now,
we also have a five year labor warranty on top
(37:58):
of the traditional warranty, which covers all the you know,
labor that might be involved in you know, doing your
home after that five years we do we do charge
for the labor of forty five dollars a man hour. Okay,
My best analogy for that is these guys aren't clicking
their heels want to do a bunch of service because
(38:21):
they're really not making any money doing it, right, But
we we do. We do service our product and if
you call, we're going to show up. Uh and we're
going to make you happy.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah. Yeah. Now, at the end of twenty five years,
I mean, everything needs to be eventually recoded or redone
do you stay I mean, does it does paint go
over it or is it another coating a rhino shield
or how does that work?
Speaker 3 (38:47):
You could traditionally put anything that you want on it
after the twenty five years. If you wanted to put
regular latex paint, you're more and welcome to do so
without any issues. If you wanted to reapply another top
code of rhino shield, we would just assess the rhino
shield for the way it looks, and if we think
that we just need to apply another top coat, we
(39:07):
can do that at that time as well.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
So do you do both then at that point or not?
Speaker 3 (39:14):
What the prim around the top coat?
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah, if it needs it, if it.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Doesn't need it, we can save a little bit of
money by just replying the top coat online.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Okay, all right, Well that answers a lot of We.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Do have some houses that are sold and you know,
people don't like the color that the previous owner likes. Yeah,
that we're able to go in and reapply a new
color and just reapply the top coat.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yeah, because then you still get all the benefits right
with the absolutely Yeah, with the radiant barrier and the
UV rays and all that. Well, that's great. So how
do people reach out to you? Todd? Give me a
contact information if you would.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Yes, it's eight A to eight Rhino forty one or
online Rhino Shield, Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Very good, it's been a pleasure talking with you. Thanks
a bunch, Thanks all right, very good. Thank you. Todd Harville.
He is with Rhinoshield, and if that's something that interests you,
I'd get on board and uh get that get that
project tackled around your home. I did notice right after
I had it applied again, it's been at least six years,
(40:24):
so it all kind of gets a little fuzzy, but uh,
and I told you what the certain of what the
what the surfaces look like, they're they're in great shape.
When I first had it applied, we could actually feel
the bump uh on the energy savings and to be
honest with you, I can't remember what it was. And
you know that's long washed now, right. That's just what
(40:47):
our house costs to uh keep it cool and comfortable.
So I'm going to pass that along too, So give
them a call rhinoshield dot com. All right, Danny boy,
thank you very much. Great day, busy, and we'll be
back at it tomorrow answering your home improvement questions. So
good Lord willing. We'll be here at home with Gary
(41:08):
Sullivan
Welcome now number four and you're at home with Gary Salvan,
taking it through another weekend, getting a few things done
around the home. And uh, well, let me give you
the phone number. It's five one three seven nine fifty
five hundred. Talk to our friends from Rhino Shield at
the bottom of the hour. In the meantime, Dan, welcome,
Hey Gary, How are you doing doing fine? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So I got a question for you. Uh, someone spilled
chocolate ice cream on my concrete. I used some the
powersher and some other solvents and nothing takes it up.
It still has a stain. Anything you can.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Recommend, Boy, I'm surprised the pressure washer didn't take care
of chocolate ice cream.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It's still like a stain on the concrete.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Have you used any type of cleaner with it, or
you know, like a down liquid soap or anything along
those lines.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
No, I didn't try any of that with it. I
just used the power washer thing. Anyway, Yeah, I can.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I would probably take some dawn liquid so and you
know we the concrete put a little bit of that
on there. Take the a scrub brush and just agitate
that area and then let it sit, not till it dries,
but just let it sit for a little bit, then
use your pressure washer and see if that doesn't take
(01:18):
care of it. Okay, I think I think that might help.
I think it's going to need a little help besides
just pressure because that chocolate, when it melts, it'll penetrate
down into the capitlaries of the concrete. Now, the first
time you do this, you might have to do it
a couple of times. I've not had this problem before,
(01:39):
but you might have to do it a couple of
times to you know, it'll fade the first time for sure,
and you know a few more times maybe to totally
remove it. But chocolate, it's a big problem if like
walnut and walnut stains get on the concrete, but chocolate,
I wouldn't see where that would be a huge problem. Okay, right,
(02:01):
appreciate it, right, Good luck to you, Take care all right?
And is it Zola?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I listened to last week when you were somebody was
calling to you by trust for yellow jackets.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Uh h.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I had got stone twice in one week. And I
tell you and I murder and they get into our
mailbox and every morning we have to go and see
if someone is there, and spray and.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
I just I just had a note that's not the
accused you.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, yeah, so you were talking about the trust. Where
do you find and how.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Do you Yeah? Yeah, so you know, hornets, wasp, yellow jackets,
they're all really active right now.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yes, was like a hundred and one.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah. Their seasons are coming to an end and they
know it, and so they get a little aggressive. The
sprays work fine, but you got to see him to
hit him, right.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Uh, yes, yes, my son said. They say they get
out before you get able to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Right.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
But if the postman has complained about it and we don't,
I don't want him to get stung. I already did
twice this weekend. I can't take it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah. So yellow jacket, Yeah, the yellow jacket traps you
can find in hardware stores. I'm also going to give
you a website to take a look at them. They're
very effective. They're they you know, since they're just in
your area, they're not really concentrated in one place. But
(03:38):
you would like if if it were on a patio
and people were always gathering on the patio, you would
set these traps about ten feet away from the patio.
So if you have an area.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
You can't see where they are because they also I
I'm em Florida and it's a lot of wheezh intends
that you've got to keep pulling and they count it there.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Well, but the mail Yeah, well I I get that.
They're everywhere. So here here's the problem. They are kind
of everywhere and you're not. You're you're going to help
control them. There's a nest somewhere and you don't know
where that nest is. So we can't really make the
whole problem go away. All we can do is set
(04:22):
out a trap that attracts them to the trap and
eliminates them. Okay, so rather than going to your mailbox,
they'll probably find a way to go to the trap instead.
So what you want to do is the website is
called Rescue r E s c u E rescue dot com.
(04:46):
And take a look at the yellow jacket traps again.
I've seen them also in ace hardware stores. They are
you know, about size of two hands, and there is
there is an attract in there and they climb in
to get the attracting and they don't come out. So
that's how you're going to control them, and they're drawn.
(05:10):
I'm sorry, does he kill them? Yeah, no, it'll eliminate
them and they're drawn to that trap. So they're gonna
be drawn to that trap instead of your mailbox. Okay,
so that's yeah. There's no real spray barrier that you're
gonna eliminate them. But those yellowjacket traps are made by Rescue.
(05:32):
It's Rescue dot com and very effective they are.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Okay, well, thank you, because last week I was listening
and then you will knock out with a football game
and I didn't get all the decays.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
All right, well, thank you, all right, very is all.
Thank you. I appreciate that call. If you'd like to
join us, do so. It's eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five. Of course we're talking home improvement.
You know one other things the nest. If you have
yellowjackets hornets, people call them different things, and there's a
(06:06):
lot of different varieties. Certainly a pest control company can
certainly help you out. But the secret if you start
finding these little hornets in your house, the secret is,
and I know it's not easy, you got to find
the nest. You have to eliminate the nest. And where
would that nest be. Well, if you're finding the horns inside.
(06:28):
You probably got the nest inside. Where would that be, Well,
it could be where I found one that was in
my house is a number of years ago. It was
on a top shelf of some storage cabinets, which was
right next to the ventilation pipe off the furnace. I
(06:50):
was gonna say water here, but I think it was
the furnace and there was a gap underneath that pipe
and the wall, and they were getting in there, and
they actually made the nest on the top shelf of
the storage around and we found that. It took us
a couple of weeks to find it, but we found it.
And then they're also a probability could be that they're
in the attic. The nest is actually in the attic.
(07:11):
Maybe there's a broken screen and a soft event and
the hornets have actually built a nest in into the attic.
And at that point you could have a pest control
company come in and remove it because the small juvenile
hornets are inside that nest, and so you can spray
(07:34):
all you want, but you're not going to eliminate them
unless that nest is open. And that's that's that's a
that's a different ballgame, right, So you got to find
a nest, and if it's subject to cold temperatures freezing,
that's usually the end of their life cycle. So they,
(07:56):
like I said, they know they're on bard time and
they're getting a little restless, and you need to, uh,
you need to find that nest or have somebody find
it for you. Eight hundred eighty two three eight two
five five A quick break, and then we'll start off
with Ellen. You're at home with Gary Salvan right here
on fifty five K seed Detalk station. All right, back
(08:18):
at it. We go to twelve eighteen. Then let's go
to Ellen Ellen.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Welcome, Hi Ellen, Hi Gary. I'm glad you took my car.
I enjoy listening to your show.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
I have a retaining wall. It's about three four feet
high and the capstones are becoming poorous. Okay, is there
anything that I could do to steal them?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Or yeah, there certainly is. So. Just like we would
seal driveway sidewalks and bricks and things like that, a
capstone would require a stone sealant, which you can pick
up pretty much anywhere. A stone cealant is a penetrant
(09:04):
all that goes into the concrete or into the capstone
and seals it, but you can't tell there's anything on it,
which is I think what you want. You don't want
a shiny capstone when the rest of the wall is
you know, you know, a flat finish. So yeah, that's
what you would use.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
You would use you do brush it on or well
you could do.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It multiple ways. I mean there is a hum. It
could be brushed, it could be rolled, it could be
sprayed with like a tank spray, or if you got
a lot of it, so any of the above. The
viscosity of it is like water, so it's very thin.
So again I don't know how much how long this
(09:49):
capstone is, but like I said.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Yeah I have, I have it's around my swimming pool
and the pool is like thirty six feet, so I'd
say maybe defeat because it kind of occurs around the corner.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, well it might be advantageous then to just use
a little tank spray you know, where you pour it in,
you pump it up, and you just missed the capstone.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Now, when the capstones were put on, they were pretty smooth.
Now they're rough, so that won't smooth them out. It'll
it won't be getting well.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Right, So that was gonna be. My question is what
do you think has caused that capstone to get rough?
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, I don't either, because.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
I've had them. Well, I've had the pool in since
ninety five and the capstones got bad and I had
them replaced once, HU maybe fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah. Well the only thing I could think of is
maybe they kind of hold water and when you go
through you know, you're in Cincinnati and or you're in Pennsylvania,
aren't you.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Yes, I'm in western Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Okay, so you go through freestall cycles there too, very much. Yeah,
so maybe that with the moisture and the cold and
the hot and the expansion and stuff like that would
pop the surface off. Usually when we have the the
top of a say it driveway, you know where it
starts getting a little rough and a little pitted. It's
(11:24):
usually caused by rock salt. But you're not going to
have that problem on a capstone. So I got a
moisture in ceiling that would offer a you know, uh,
you know, some protection. Did you? Thank you?
Speaker 6 (11:41):
And then I had another question. I have a oak door,
my front door. It's almost one hundred years old, and
it has a lot of crafts and detail on it,
and I want to preserve it, and I've had it varnished,
but it faces the west and the sun it in
the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
H yeah, okay, And.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
And I have a storm door but it's all glass.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, and that doesn't help it. No, it doesn't, right,
So what's happening to it? How how if you had it.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
Varnished to see where the sun is kind of bleaching
it out?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah? After how long did it take it to.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
I haven't had it varnished for probably ten years?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Okay? So second question, is.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Any varnished that has like a UV protecting.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah, well that's one thing. It probably had to have
something or it wouldn't the lasted ten years. But yeah,
so you know, the the UV from the sun is
causing the issue. It would have caused the issue within
two to three years if a polyurethane was used. But
if a marine eu athane or or a czar not
(13:04):
a czar but a Jesus Pizza Helman's type product called
spar your thing, it would resist that A marine and
spar would both resist the UV rays so that it
wouldn't start showing damage to that finish for probably eight
to ten years.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
That's real shiny, isn't It.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Doesn't have to be. You can get in a satin,
You can get it in a semi gloss, and you
can get it. You might even be able to get
it in a flat. I don't know about that, but
usually gloss, semi gloss and satin is usually what you us.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Okay, I understand.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And and it's not like you got to strip that door,
since it is just wearing and starting to bleach out
the wood. If they take like a four hundred grit
wet dry paper, go over that surface to the door,
and then put another coat of spar marine your thane
(14:05):
on it, let it dry, buff that out with a
four hundred or six hundred grid, put another coat of
the spar marine your thinge that having that sheen and
that protect and over it should rejuvenate the door and
bring back the faded stain. A lot of times it's
the finish that's gone that makes the stain look faded.
(14:28):
Right now, if you let it go too long, obviously
you'll lose the magnitude of that stain also.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
But chan, yeah, I don't want to let it go
too long. But I do notice that it's starting to fade.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
I really appreciate your advice. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Gary, all right, you're welcome, thank you, and Alice welcome.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Yes, curious what you know about a product called it
evolved stone. We've got to installed in our the bottom
level and upper bay window. You know had that you
know that bump out, you know, two story bump out,
and it was always rotting. It was wood, and so
(15:13):
we had weather proofing done and lots of layers, and
then the evolved stone put on top and it was
improperly installed. So I wanted to know what you know
about that product first and then maybe if you can
help me with a fix.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Well, I I, yeah, I'm familiar with it, and it's
probably one of the hottest categories in the building supply
business right now. It's kind of faux stone, which is
very durable, and you know it's it's lower lower labor
But so how was it misinstalled? So I'm familiar with
(15:56):
the product, I know it, I haven't installed it. I
don't know much more than that whole category. It has
great fire ratings, it looks awesome, but how can how's
it you know, installed wrong? Or what's going on there?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
So what we were sold that the product would do
is using four inch nails that the product itself and
I initially was like, how does it do this? But
we were told and sold that it would somehow mold
(16:35):
itself over the nails so that you would never see
the nail hole or the nail heads or anything. So
what happened when that and that was not the case.
And it looked like when the sun hit it when
they were just finished, it looked like the night sky.
I mean it was I saw every single flat had
(16:58):
nail and we talked to the manufacturer. They said it
was installed and properly, that the nails should have gone
in at an angle so that all you there was
now I know. So the manufacturer's first fixed was to
dab which the contractor did, uh, dab WB forty in
(17:23):
every hole. Now there are at least two, if not
three nails in each piece because it looks like a
stack stone typing rape. So so they did and they
dabbed WB forty. I didn't know what that was supposed
to do. But the next morning I have and still have,
(17:44):
just gray spots that that they said, oh, that's the
from the dust from the nails. Being driven in and
it is. It is not hard at Allurrently, I'm working
on not doing business with this contractor anymore and having
(18:04):
the manufacturer, well, I.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Think you know, to be honest with you, Alice, I mean,
we both kind of know what the problem is, and
so does the manufacturer, and the issue is with the contractor.
And I agree with you, I don't I would definitely
drag this this manufacturer in to the because I don't
(18:26):
think you're going to gain any satisfaction. I mean, you've
certainly tried, you can try again, but eventually you're gonna
want to get off that merriga round. And uh, I
think I would buddy up with the with the manufacturer
and see if we can get some uh you know,
get some at least get some new product in there,
(18:49):
and then somebody, I think it's going to have to
be removed. I mean, it's one of the beautiful things
about it is it's easy to install. The reason these
products were invented, quite honest, is running on short supply,
on good contractors and especially mat and masons. They're trying
(19:09):
to make these products where everybody can install them. And
here we have a problem with a product they call
them faux products, faux because it's not the real thing,
but it looks like the real thing. So yeah, Unfortunately,
I would I would really lean on the manufacturer to
help you resolve it. Otherwise you're gonna have to just
(19:31):
continue to battle with the contractor. I mean, you know,
it's easy for me to sit here and say it
shouldn't have happened. But it shouldn't have happened. Well, good luck.
Keep me posted and coming up. If you're looking at
your house and you say, boy, I'd like to have
a new coating on that, Hey, is it pain or
is it actually a coating like Rhino shield. You've probably
(19:51):
heard me talk about a rhino shield coating for your home. Well,
that's what we'll discuss next. You're at Home with Gary Salvin.
Right here five kr SE Detalk station. All right, back
at it. We go at home with Gary salvn. Todd
Harville is with Rhino Shield and we're going to talk
(20:12):
about protecting the exterior of your home. Todd, Welcome to
at Home with Gary Salvin.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
How you doing great, Gary, pleasure being with you today.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
So I saw your trucks in the neighborhood this week,
and they did they did a great job. I was
watching them because they're there a few days, and I
know some jobs you can do in a half a
day and other jobs where there's a little bit of repair.
And your guys were replacing a couple of boards and
(20:43):
different things and house looks awesome. So tell everybody a
little bit about Rhino Shield and you know the history
of the company and what it choosed on. It's the
next year you're coding, but kind of walk us through
the product, all.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Right, Gary, Our Rhino Shield has been worldwide since seventy
seven and we've been in Cincinnati's for the last twenty years.
And what the primary makeup of our coating is is
an elastic americ resin membrane along with ceramics, and what
that does is it beautifies the home without you know,
(21:19):
diminishing the look of the home. So it's going to
maintain the integrity of the substrate that we're coating on.
A couple of things that we do that stands apart
with other companies is the prep work. We we do
our due diligence, the pressure wash hands, scrape down all
(21:39):
the surfaces and then shoot a adhesive primer on the
on the building and that's the magic. Once that goes on,
we're able to put our top coat that marries and
bonds to the bottom coat, and then you've got a permanent, breathable,
expandable product on the home that we know it's going
to last for twenty five years with out any issues. Sure,
(22:03):
and that's why we warrant you for that length of time.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, Todd, a lot of people listening right now going like, well,
it sounds like you're getting your house painted. Big difference
between a rhino shield and house paint.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, you're You're doing a whole lot more than just
putting regular house paint on it. One of the major
things that the difference between regular house paint and Rhino
shield is the typical paint you get from your hardware
box stores is eighty percent water and you have a
very very small amount of material that's gonna last very long.
(22:37):
That's why they give you a two year paint guarantee
under can UH and you're crossing your fingers to hope
that it lasts for five years. Hinall shields a little
bit different in the fact that we spray our coatings
on eight to ten milstick versus you know, one one
and a half meals with traditional paints. So it's a
substantial thickness that we're putting on the home. And again,
(22:58):
it doesn't take away from what we're coating. So if
you we're doing wood and things of that nature, you're
gonna see the wood grain not holds all the definition
definition of that wood, and it just looks beautiful and
we're said and done.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
The one of the things. There's such a difference, folks.
I have it on my house and I guess it's
been on six seven years, and it is it's so different.
It's amazing. When it first came out, I think a
lot of times it was created like a specialty coating
(23:35):
for aluminum siding or vinyl sighting, But the Rhino shield
really can be applied to just about any type of substrate.
Is that true, Todd?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
That is true. Originally our coating was originally engineered for
stucco masonry products well, because of the breatheability component in it.
Brick and along with any other you know, substrate has
to be able to breathe naturally, right, and when you
block it with traditional paints, you're trapping in moisture and
it's you know, promoting rot to the wood. Sure, with
(24:08):
rhino shield, we're able to keep that moisture out of
the house and from going through our coating back into
the house. And that's the major difference between our.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Coating well water. Yeah, water is certainly our number one enemy,
that's for sure. It also you mentioned ceramic h when
you were describing rhino shield, and I don't want to
gloss over that because of ceramic coating on our next
cheer of a home offers some huge benefits in terms
(24:41):
of lowering energy costs, and you got the data for that.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Absolutely. Absolutely, ceramics in our coating, that's what we use
as a filler, so we don't use any clay or
chalk ceramics. What that does is it reflects one hundred
and six percent of the ub raised, so we don't
experience to fading like you do with traditional paints. Also too,
is that we're able to keep that wall. That surface
(25:08):
of that wall is never going to get above ninety
five degrees, which is huge especially for air conditioning season. Right.
You know, it's just gonna take a lot less energy
to keep a ninety five degy wall versus one hundred
and forty de walk.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
So it's it has a radiant barrier to a degree
to it also absolutely absolutely, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I mentioned two point eight nine our value and what
that our value is is a reflective our value, which
is unheard of for a paint to be able to
have that kind of our value.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Right, So we got all kinds of substrates we can
put the rhino shield on. We have some energy benefits,
and one of the biggest things that makes us want
to paint is the colors get faded. You know, your
maroons become a light pink, your dark greens, you just
(26:01):
become a lime. You said it has qualities to reflect
a UV rays, So it's relatively I mean it's outdoors,
but I mean it has UV resistance for sure.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Absolutely it does.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
How does it do with mold and mildew and algae?
That's a big concern on a lot of people's homes.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Great question. Not only does our top coat have mild
decide is that prevents new growth of mold, mill dow
and algae. That's fine and dandy, But it's our primer
that is the magic. It has an ingredient in it
that kills the bacteria that grows. All three the only
primer on the market that kills all three of those bacterias.
(26:45):
We get rid of the old and we help prevent
the new with our top codes.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You said, Ryer, She'll kind of got into it over stucco.
And of course, the big problem with stucco is some
of the things we just talked about, you know, the
insulating virule use, the fading, the mules, the milldew. But
probably the biggest thing with stucc though, is hairline cracks.
In Since rhino shield is a coating and not a pain,
(27:11):
does it bridge hairline cracks.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Absolutely when we're doing our prep work. We do our
due diligence to make sure that those are sealed with
an elastic merrick cealant before we apply our coating. But
any kind of hairline cracks that you might have in
brick that is generally, you know, rather small, our coating
is able to bridge those without any issues in the
future because our coating is expandable, so it's able to
(27:38):
you know, expand a contract and be able to handle
any kind of movement like a normal brick job would say,
would normally you know, have throughout the year.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Todd Harville, he's my guess, he's with rhino shield. You've
mentioned brick now two types, Todd, So I got to
ask you a question about this, and it doesn't really
pertain to my house, but I see, you know, years
and years ago, there was a lot of houses that
were just white with black trim, and uhuse, look, yeah,
(28:09):
certainly that's still that's a big trend. Now kind of
went away, but it's a big trend. And I see
more and more brick homes being turned white and then
having the black trim. Do you mean obviously the rhiner
shield goes over brick offers those additional benefits. Is is
that a trend? Are you getting some of that business?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Sometimes we we do a fair amount of white house
with black windows. That's more of the lines of our
new construction that we get involved in. Traditionally, you know,
most people are picking the color with your you know,
your traditional white trim, just to make that color pop. Okay,
that's what they're looking for.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Well, there was a house in our neighborhood which was interesting.
It was a you know, like a typical brick home
and this family bought this home in I don't know
what they used on the brick, but it was white
when they're paint, it's like, oh my god, that's good.
I don't know if I like that. And then they
did the black trim, and I still didn't know if
(29:12):
I like And I had people going like, is that
white gonna hold up? Well, it depends how it's prepared,
what they used. When they were finished, todd it looked beautiful.
And I mean it looked beautiful. So I don't know
if that's something, uh, you guys want to go after,
(29:33):
or there's much of a trend or not. But with
a Rhino shield man with a twenty five year warranty,
that'd be outstanding. That's an outstanding way to utilize your
product and change the look of a house. It turned
out really good.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Absolutely, White's always a good color to put on a house,
especially with any other type of color. It just glows
when the job gets done.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, well of course it stands up to the side
the rain and all that. Let's take a break, we'll
come back. I want to go through the whole process
and how people can reach out to you and get
a quote of what Rhino shield will cost them to
kind of change the look of their home. But I
don't think anybody's all excited about paying somebody to paint
their home every five to seven years. So we'll eliminate
(30:19):
that problem. Todd Harville, he is, my guess, he is
with Rhino Shield, and you're at home with Gary Salvan
right here on fifty five krc DE Talk station. Well,
when I have a project of the week and this
is this is a big one, Todd Harville, he is
with Rhino Shield. We're talking about this fantastic coding for
the ex tear of your home that offers you many
(30:42):
benefits from energy savings to lowering the wall temperature, the
X tier of the wall, your house resistance the mold, mildew,
ALGAEUV ray salt, even bridges hairline cracks. It does a
phenomenal job. First question, Todd, following what it is is
(31:04):
when we're talking about coatings on the X tier of
our house? Uh, what is my choices and colors?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Colors? We have over fifteen hundred colors that you can
choose from. Okay, all all of our colors are to
be determined. So when the crew gets there to you know,
the painter your house, you're going to plenty of time
to dial in that color. We put a sample on
the house, and we just make darn sure that you're correct,
you're you know, you're you know, choosing the right color
(31:35):
and you're satisfied with that color.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Can you do multiple colors? I know sometimes you want
a different color front door, a different colored trim, and
then the field would be one another color.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Absolutely. Traditionally a house is three colors. Okay, the walls,
the soft and facia different color, and then the front
door and the shutters are traditionally a third color.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
So starting with the process, people listening right now and go, yeah,
I'd like to kind of inquire about it. How did
they do that? What is the process to kind of
get the ball rolling?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Well, first of all, you could call Lindsey eight eight
eight Rhino forty one and she will be happy to
set up a time that's convenient for you to have
me come out and take a look at your house
and give you down to a detailed proposal what it
would take to do your home.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Okay, very very simple. Okay, it sounds simple. I like that.
Do you guys do commercial work also, I know you
do residential work?
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yes, we do. The last job that we did that
was any size to it was downtown Sincy, the Marriotte
Town Suites. We did that three years ago, which was
a nice project. We had done the Madison Theater thirteen
fourteen years ago and it still looks great today. So
if anybody was ever interested in looking at our product,
(32:56):
you can actually go by and touch and feel and
see what ranolpstill looks like after thirteen fourteen years being
on a building.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
So once I get the bid to do it and
we say okay, we're ready to go, and we got
the color selected. How So prep's always the key. You
certainly know that whether it's runner shield or whatever it is,
prep is the key. Can you walk me through the
preparation like they were even in my neighborhood this week
(33:26):
they were changing out some boards. They probably hit some
wood rod in some of the boards of the house.
Walk through on the prepping before the runners shield is applied.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Well, the first thing that we do, we are going
to pressure wash the home. Our crews knows what tips
to use to ensure that they're getting the most of
the paint off without creating more damage to your home.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Good path.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Then what they're going to do is they're going to
hand scrape down the surfaces and what they're looking for
is anything that's rotten or anything that's damaged, and they're
going to address it to the homeowner. And this is
what we have going on here. Rotten. There's just no
choice in no matter, We're going to replace that for
a minimal cost. Damaged. It's your house. I mean, this
(34:13):
is what it's going to look like if we coat
over it. We highly recommend that you replace anything that's
rotten or damaged. Then after that we tape off the
areas that we're not going to be coating. We do
our due diligence not to have any overspring on uh
you know, windows or doors that's not being coated, and
then we're gonna shoot it with our eas of primer.
(34:36):
And what that is engineered to do. It's actually engineered
to burn into the pores of what we're coating and
it becomes part of the substrate. So once it's on there,
it's on there. We'll usually let that set for a
day and then we go back and we shoot it
with our with our Mino shield top coat. And that
is a process usually takes about five days from start
(34:59):
to finish to do a you know, traditional size home.
If we're doing a whole home three or four days
if we're just doing trim.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yeah, I'll tell you. I don't know how long it's
been since I've had the rhino shield on my house, Todd.
I'm going to guess it's probably been six years, but
you know how time flies.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Oh, it could be you know, eight years. I look
at the file.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yeah, yeah, and it's knowing you were going to be
a guest. I kind of gave it a pretty good
examination a couple of days ago, and it looks like
today it was applied. In fact, I washed it down
the front door because the only thing I could find
is it was dusty.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Right. What we recommend about every year or every other year,
that you hose it down with a vinyl siding cleaner
type material. There used to be a product out there
that Low's used to sell any kind of traditional wedding
for get would be a good product to clean up
your home.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Sure, sure, so it looks good and you do the
proper preparation work. But I was amazed. I don't have
a large field, so it was a lot of trim.
But I think those guys did it in two or
three days, probably closer to two. And that crew they
were meticulous. Uh, they really were. They were. They were outstanding.
(36:28):
And because I was you know when they when I
was doing trim and they were gonna spray it and
they're taping up all the windows, I was like, I
hope this is gonna turn. They were phenomenal and that
coating was you know, the viscosity of the rhino shield
and the texture it just looked. It looked phenomenal. So yeah,
(36:51):
for people know it is sprayed on, and I got
kind of tought a lesson to be honest with you,
that that is an efficient way to apply that for sure.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Yeah, what we're looking for is the consistency of eight
to ten yeals thick. When you traditionally roll or brush,
you're pulling the coating and you're thinning it out, so
you really don't know how thick it is when you're
when you're at this set has done part of it.
When we spread, we know we're getting to consistency that
we're looking forward to make sure that we're going to
(37:23):
get the longevity out of the coating.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Yeah. Like I said, I got schooled a little bit,
So that's cool. Twenty five year warranty is that how
long it's going to last? Is it going to last
a little longer? And what's the warranty.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Cover warranty is is we have a twenty five year
product warranty against any kind of peeling, cracking, or chipping
whatever conventional paint does, we guarantee it not to do that. Also,
our distributorship, which we've been in Cincinnati for twenty years now,
we also have a five year labor warranty on top
(37:58):
of the traditional warranty, which covers all the you know,
labor that might be involved in you know, doing your
home after that five years we do we do charge
for the labor of forty five dollars a man hour. Okay,
My best analogy for that is these guys aren't clicking
their heels want to do a bunch of service because
(38:21):
they're really not making any money doing it, right, But
we we do. We do service our product and if
you call, we're going to show up. Uh and we're
going to make you happy.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah. Yeah. Now, at the end of twenty five years,
I mean, everything needs to be eventually recoded or redone
do you stay I mean, does it does paint go
over it or is it another coating a rhino shield
or how does that work?
Speaker 3 (38:47):
You could traditionally put anything that you want on it
after the twenty five years. If you wanted to put
regular latex paint, you're more and welcome to do so
without any issues. If you wanted to reapply another top
code of rhino shield, we would just assess the rhino
shield for the way it looks, and if we think
that we just need to apply another top coat, we
(39:07):
can do that at that time as well.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
So do you do both then at that point or not?
Speaker 3 (39:14):
What the prim around the top coat?
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah, if it needs it, if it.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Doesn't need it, we can save a little bit of
money by just replying the top coat online.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Okay, all right, Well that answers a lot of We.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Do have some houses that are sold and you know,
people don't like the color that the previous owner likes. Yeah,
that we're able to go in and reapply a new
color and just reapply the top coat.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yeah, because then you still get all the benefits right
with the absolutely Yeah, with the radiant barrier and the
UV rays and all that. Well, that's great. So how
do people reach out to you? Todd? Give me a
contact information if you would.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Yes, it's eight A to eight Rhino forty one or
online Rhino Shield, Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Very good, it's been a pleasure talking with you. Thanks
a bunch, Thanks all right, very good. Thank you. Todd Harville.
He is with Rhinoshield, and if that's something that interests you,
I'd get on board and uh get that get that
project tackled around your home. I did notice right after
I had it applied again, it's been at least six years,
(40:24):
so it all kind of gets a little fuzzy, but uh,
and I told you what the certain of what the
what the surfaces look like, they're they're in great shape.
When I first had it applied, we could actually feel
the bump uh on the energy savings and to be
honest with you, I can't remember what it was. And
you know that's long washed now, right. That's just what
(40:47):
our house costs to uh keep it cool and comfortable.
So I'm going to pass that along too, So give
them a call rhinoshield dot com. All right, Danny boy,
thank you very much. Great day, busy, and we'll be
back at it tomorrow answering your home improvement questions. So
good Lord willing. We'll be here at home with Gary
