Are you a builder that needs a little more than something right off the shelf?

So does this VERSATEX customer who is very much a “custom builder.”

For eight weeks each summer the world famous Chautauqua Institute on Lake Chautauqua, NY comes alive with art and music. The balance of the year, Chris Keefe, owner of Keefe Builders, works on multimillion dollar properties that are anything but ordinary. This is an exclusive community where private instruction is given to the next great artist or musician and the parents of these prodigies expect nothing but the best in their “summer homes.” For his trimboard, Chris has only one choice; VERSATEX.

“We are not doing the average “square box” here. Every building we have done in the last 10 years is unique and the people love the “old style” look. VERSATEX allows me to do arches and radiuses and do so while keeping the authentic look of real wood without any maintenance,” says Chris.

Because VERSATEX is a free-foamed cellular PVC material it will cut, route and install like a piece of premium-grade lumber but not absorb moisture that can damage the finish. VERSATEX comes in a variety of thicknesses and widths and can be ordered in both sheet and board sizes. VERSATEX can also be ordered in custom lengths, minimizing waste and saving time and money.

“It’s just easier to work with. You can shape it a lot better than anything else that I have found out there,” Chris explains. “I can get it to do exactly what I want it to do. There is nothing we haven’t tried with VERSATEX. Plus, anytime I have had any questions, Versaterx has been on the spot for me.”

As Chris and the home owners at the Chautauqua Institute have learned, anything is possible with VERSATEX. Therefore, whether you are looking to create a signature look or simply have a fascia or trim piece on your homes that will be built to last, call us today to learn more about what VERSATEX can do for your next project.
