Questions to Ask Art Vandelay Painting

Handling of accidental damage

A detailed 4-star review from December 2025 documents an otherwise positive experience with one unresolved concern: a damaged bar cart awaiting reimbursement. While the crew was praised for professionalism and working quietly around a home office, the reviewer noted issues with equipment stored in the garage and items damaged during the project. Ask them directly: "What is your policy for handling accidental damage to furniture or belongings during a project, and what is the typical timeline for reimbursement if damage occurs?"

"Issues included equipment stored in his garage, painted-over nails, and a damaged bar cart awaiting reimbursement." - Michael Z., Google Review (no owner reply)

Why Customers Choose Rhino Shield Texas

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.

• The warranty transfers to subsequent owners if properly re-registered
• Mike and Penny Parks updated their review after warranty work was completed, noting Anthony "sent his guys out and they took care of everything and then some"

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