Wood Priming in Wilmington, NC
Your trim and moldings arrive primed with even coverage, ready to hang the day they hit the site. Your crew gets a head start. You don't lose a day to priming.
Exterior Priming
A lot can happen when bare wood ships to the job site. Rain soaks bare trim in transit. Humidity swells it on the job site. The sun bakes it while it waits its turn.
We prime your exterior trim in our shop before it ships, using hydro oil technology that soaks into the wood fibers instead of just sitting on top of them. It arrives sealed all the way through, holds up on site, and your crew installs it and moves straight to topcoats.
Interior Priming
Every hour your crew spends priming by hand is an hour they could be installing.
We prime your interior moldings and millwork in-house, with even coverage on every piece and every profile. Your carpenters install, and your painters start at the topcoat.
Why builders choose us over other lumber suppliers
"I am a general contractor. I had a customer request cypress for their exterior ceilings and Katie was very helpful in putting together a large order and had it delivered to the job site."
Malcolm Odom, General Contractor
Quality Re-Dried Lumber

FAQ
Can you prime trim and moldings before delivery?
Yes. Your exterior trim and interior moldings get primed in-house, so they arrive protected and ready to install — no priming day on your schedule.
Do you prime both interior and exterior material?
Yes. Exterior trim gets primed for weather and moisture protection; interior moldings and millwork arrive ready for your topcoats.
Can you mill and prime in the same place?
Yes. Your material, profile, and primer all come from one shop, which means one point of contact and quality control at every step — no coordinating between a lumber supplier and a finisher.
What species can you prime?
Your project can pull from our Poplar, Cypress, Southern Yellow Pine, and treated Pine inventory, with special-order and exotic species available on request.
