Warranty You Can Trust
What sets Rhino Shield Texas apart is the 25-year transferable warranty against cracking, chipping, and peeling. But the real test is whether they honor it years later. Multiple long-term customers confirm warranty service well after installation. Allen Price had coating applied ten years ago, called Anthony, and "before I knew it he had a crew out there taking care of business." George Del Bianco's original coating lasted thirty years in south Texas heat before needing reapplication.

"Character and integrity counts and Anthony has both." - Mike and Penny P., Google Review

Additional Questions Answered
How does Rhino Shield Texas handle long-term warranty commitments on their ceramic coating projects?
Several homeowners have tested the warranty years after installation. One customer who originally contracted in 2022 noticed coating lifting in a few areas and reported that Anthony quickly dispatched a crew to assess and repair the issue at no cost. Another homeowner who had the coating applied in 2015 contacted the Converse office about two missing spots and received prompt warranty service. The 25-year transferable guarantee covers cracking, chipping and peeling, and the documented follow-through suggests the company treats warranty claims as a priority rather than an inconvenience.
What do customers say about the professionalism and communication of Anthony LaBarbera and his field crews?
Anthony is mentioned by name in the majority of reviews, with customers describing thorough on-site estimates, clear explanations of the coating process and responsive scheduling. Field crew leads Juan, Luis and Daniel receive repeated praise for meticulous preparation work, on-time arrivals and clean job sites. One reviewer noted that Anthony came out multiple times to help finalize color selections, and another described daily updates throughout a four-month multi-unit complex project.
What types of exterior surfaces and structures has Rhino Shield Texas coated beyond standard house siding?
Projects documented in customer feedback extend well beyond typical wall coating. One rancher hired the team to coat and change the color of metal roofs on multiple structures and reported the result looked like new roofing with zero leaks. A gymnastics facility owner had the roof of her 10,000 square foot gym coated and reported measurable reductions in cooling costs. Deck posts, patio covers, fence lines and porch railings also appear in the project record, along with a 46-unit condo complex that took four months to complete.
How do repeat customers and long-term users describe the durability of the Rhino Shield product in South Texas heat?
One reviewer waited four months before posting to verify how the coating held up and reported it still looked brand new. A thirty-year customer had his original application last the full duration before needing reapplication and stated the product was the best paint investment possible in South Texas weather. Another homeowner who first used the product in the Dallas area several years prior chose Rhino Shield again after relocating to Bastrop, citing zero problems with the original application despite extreme weather cycles.
What sets Rhino Shield Texas apart from traditional painting contractors according to homeowners who compared options?
One customer interviewed seven different firms before choosing Rhino Shield, citing the company's meticulous attention to detail and the superior durability of the ceramic coating as deciding factors despite the higher price point. Another homeowner whose previous paint job with a national brand faded from tan to pink in the Texas sun compared the two experiences and found the Rhino Shield application far more resilient. Multiple reviewers frame the higher upfront cost as a long-term financial decision, noting the 25-year warranty eliminates future repainting cycles.
How does the company approach large-scale commercial and multi-unit residential projects?
A property manager overseeing a 46-unit complex described Rhino Shield's management and work crew as focused, efficient and on-time throughout a four-month engagement, with quality that exceeded expectations. A condo HOA board member who had been dealing with disintegrating 40-year-old siding spent a year evaluating options before selecting Rhino Shield, and reported the result exceeded every expectation. The team's experience with multi-unit jobs includes coordinating around tenant schedules and managing large-scale surface preparation across diverse building materials.
Is Rhino Shield Texas a licensed and insured contractor, and what business credentials does the company hold?
Texas does not require a state-level painting contractor license, so the absence of a license number is standard for the market. The company is a BBB-accredited Sole Proprietorship with an A+ rating, accredited since September 2023. Anthony LaBarbera is the registered Owner and Manager. The company holds a 2025 Gold Quality Dealer Award from Rhino Shield corporate and is veteran-owned. The BBB file has been open since July 2011, and the business has been operating for fifteen years.
