The Oconee River keeps Dublin humid for most of the year, and winter gives a wall almost no time to dry out. North facing elevations stay damp, mildew and algae settle in under the old oaks, and by August the sun has finished what the moisture started. The big early 1900s houses on Bellevue Avenue and through the Stubbs Park and Stonewall Street district are wood siding and painted trim, the surfaces that need scraping and recoating every three to five years. Scottsville, Rockledge and the newer streets run to brick, vinyl and fiber cement. All of it takes the same ceramic coating. Rhino Shield is spread to a minimum of 10 to 12 mils over a washed, repaired and primed wall, a build eight to ten paint coats deep, and it bonds and flexes rather than cracking and peeling. The 25-year warranty is fully transferable, so it goes to the next owner along with the house.
