Rafter Tails
Dependability & Durability
We offer the prefinished wood available in a variety of colors and styles to create a beautiful, decorative profile to the edge of your roofline. Provided with the designs of your project we can also offer options for pre-drilling mounting holes and plugs. This not only streamlines the entire construction process, but it also reduces the cost of materials and labor time. Prefinished lumber is often chosen by contractors because it is easier to work with and requires less maintenance. Whether it’s a commercial property or private residence, our team is prepared to help you plan your next wooden project.
