The Details That Frame Your Home, Sealed to Last
Your siding might look fine while the trim tells a different story. Window casings crack, corner boards split, fascia boards peel along the gutter line and soffits fade and stain. Because trim is mostly wood and sits right where water runs off the roof, it wears out years before everything else.
In Michigan, ice dams and overflowing gutters make it worse. Water sits against fascia boards for days at a time, and paint can’t keep it out forever.
Our exterior trim painting fixes the cause, not just the color. We find and replace soft or rotted wood, seal open joints, prime bare spots and coat everything with Rhino Shield. The flexible ceramic finish keeps water out and moves with the wood, so the trim stays crisp much longer.
We coat trim as part of a full-house project, and we can also quote trim, fascia and soffits on their own.

Trim, Fascia and Soffit Problems We Fix
Peeling Window and Door Trim
Casings and sills take direct rain and sun. Loose paint is removed, joints are sealed and the trim is recoated.
Rotted Fascia Boards
Fascia behind gutters often rots at the ends and seams. We replace damaged sections before coating.
Faded or Stained Soffits
Soffits collect dirt, mildew and water stains under the eaves. Cleaning and coating bring them back to an even color.
Open Joints and Cracked Caulk
Every gap where trim pieces meet lets water in. We re-caulk them so the coating has a sealed surface to protect.
Corner Boards and Rake Trim
Hard-to-reach trim on gables and corners is often skipped. It gets the same prep and coating as everything else.
Why Choose Rhino Shield for Exterior Trim
Rot repair before paint. We probe trim and fascia for soft wood and fix it first. Coating over rot only hides it for a while.
Joint-by-joint sealing. The caulking work on trim is detailed, and it’s where long-lasting results come from.
25-year warranty. Against cracking, chipping and peeling.
Clean lines. Careful masking keeps trim colors sharp against siding, brick and windows.
Family-owned and licensed. Marc and Sheryl Mercier run Rhino Shield of Michigan from Brighton, licensed and insured in Michigan.
