Signs a Wood Door Needs Refinishing

Fading

Colour lifting on the sunny face, often lighter at the top.

Peeling or clouded finish

Worst on the bottom rail where water sits.

Grey, dry-looking wood

The finish has failed and the wood is weathering.

Our Refinishing Process

The door is stripped or sanded back to sound wood, damage repaired, and refinished on all six sides with an exterior finish suited to its sun exposure. Carved doors take longer, because every recess is cleaned and sealed.

Care Plans for Wood Doors

A scheduled visit to clean, inspect and recoat the door before the finish fails, plus a hinge and seal check. In direct sun that can be as often as every year; under a deep porch it can be longer.

How Much Does Front Door Refinishing Cost?

It is priced from the door itself: the state of the old finish, how much carving there is and whether any repair is needed. The fastest way to a number is a photo: text one to (727) 353-8639 and we reply with a price range or a time to look.
