About Rhino Exteriors

Rhino Exteriors started in 2006 in Okotoks, not as a polished company, but as a small crew figuring things out one job at a time.

From the beginning, Braydon and Jason Byam were on-site for most of the work themselves — carrying materials, solving problems as they came up, and learning quickly what it meant to work on custom homes where every detail matters. Early on, there wasn’t much room for error. Every delay or missed detail had a way of affecting the entire build.

Even in those early days, the focus wasn’t on volume or simple projects. It was on working with premium and specialty exterior materials that required more precision, more planning, and a higher level of care to install properly. That decision shaped the kind of work the company attracted — and the standard it had to maintain from the very beginning.

Most of the early growth didn’t come from advertising or outreach. It came from builders calling again after the first project, and then again after the next one. Over time, those repeat calls turned into long-term working relationships built on consistency and trust.

As projects became larger and materials more complex, the crew grew with it. But the way the work is approached hasn’t really changed. It still comes down to the same fundamentals that defined the early years — stay consistent on site, respect the schedule, and treat the details as if the entire build depends on them. Because often, it does.
