Georgia
Few Georgia towns kept as much of their original architecture as Madison did. Dozens of antebellum houses still stand, and the historic district holds Greek Revival columns, Victorian trim and clapboard that has been repainted every few years for more than a century. That is the trouble with paint on old wood. It sits on the surface, and Piedmont weather works it loose: red clay dust, heavy spring pollen, humid summers, and winter freeze-thaw that pushes moisture behind every seam. Rhino Shield is a ceramic coating, and its 25-year warranty is fully transferable, which matters on a house meant to outlast its owner. The specification is a film no thinner than 10 to 12 mils, eight to ten times a coat of paint, bonded to a prepared surface and flexible enough to move with old siding rather than flaking away from it. Coat once, not every three to five years. We work on newer Madison too, the brick ranches and fiber cement out toward Buckhead and Rutledge.
