DelKote Machine Finishing provides a way to increase the total quality and value of a home with less cost. Architects and Builders nationwide realize the incredible value of pre-priming and pre-finishing as much of the building material as possible.
Given the high humidity and other climatic conditions affecting framing materials, siding and trim in the South, builders are starting to realize the long term benefits of machine-finished products. The reliability of machine finishing enables the homeowner to receive warranties as long as 25 years on painted surfaces and lifetime warranties from damage caused by mold, rot, and insects on framing materials.
