Priming

Improve your wood product performance by pre-priming your materials. We have a specially formulated primer and a process we’ve perfected over the years to help your products last.

The Lakeside priming process

For 20+ years we've been priming our products for customers

It's a process we've been doing for several decades. With our factory-grade in-house priming machine we are able to prime your wood materials prior to pick-up. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to enjoy your materials.

You select your wood materials

There are a lot of options out there. The first step is selecting what you want. We’re here to help!

A perfectly primed coat on every board

Our team feeds each board individually into the priming machine where it is coated evenly on all sides with a factory-finish.

Once it dries your materials are prepped and ready

After being coated with primer, we stack the lumber on drying racks. Once it’s completely dry, we coordinate pick up or delivery of your materials with you.
