"Why didn't someone tell me this before I built my house?"

Here’s what the experts say about prefinishing

“Priming or prefinishing cedar products before it is installed, can provide extra protection and often prevent adhesion problems and premature finish failure…Prefinishing is recommended in all circumstances.”
Western Wood Products Association

“Installation of factory finished lumber is one of the best ways to achieve excellent performance from wood products used outdoors.”
Historic HomeWorks

“Backprimed wood resists absorbing moisture from the back that can cause the finish to blister and peel. Some of our first backprimed cedar projects still sport their original finish and after nearly seven years still look like new.”
Fine Home Building Magazine
