Rhino Shield of Michigan handles residential and commercial exterior ceramic coating projects across Southeast Michigan, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Traverse City, and surrounding regions. Owners Marc and Sheryl Mercier built the Brighton-based operation through Timeless Coatings LLC, employing field supervisors Eduardo, Yovany, Raul, and Antonio alongside office coordinator Halley to manage scheduling and client communication.

Crews follow an 11-step process covering power washing, patching, caulking, wood rot repair, priming, and coating application. Each project comes backed by a 25-year transferable warranty against cracking, chipping, and peeling.
