Architectural Coatings Inc : Field vs. Factory

Seriously, would you like to pay $6400.00 or around $3000.00?

ACI Factory finishing is a "greener", cost saving, manufacturer recommended, efficient alternative. You only have one chance to save and protect...request ACI factory finishing before it goes on the wall!

FACT: Siding doesn't put itself up and siding doesn't magically paint itself!

FACT: Siding, once installed, only gets a face painted and ACI factory finishing always coats a full face, all edges and the backside product line and substrate pending.

So let's take what we know; and compare a more efficient, quality and
cost effective process from ACI factory finishing to Field or on-site applications. Sound good? See below...

The model below challenges all professionals to compare current raw material invoices, the installation costs and timeline of raw materials, the field coating costs, timeline and scheduling, the coating warranty, additional sub or trade management, project turnover and scheduling. In addition, keeping in mind your typical install season as it relates to manufactures warranties on raw materials not becoming void (generally 30 to 120 days), and your guaranteed control of Mother Nature. Then compare to ACI's ability to supply all major brand materials, offer any color and maximum printed warranties (up to 25 years), provide everything that would have been coated in the field factory finished and READY TO INSTALL, one less trade, never any weather concerns, always finishing and getting paid and off a job site sooner and always available 365 days a year.
