Our Front Door Restoration Process
Assessment & Planning
We carefully inspect your door to assess its condition, identify any damage or structural issues, and determine the best restoration approach. We'll discuss finish options and create a detailed plan.
Finish Removal & Sanding
We carefully strip the old finish using appropriate methods for your door's wood type. The door is then meticulously sanded to create a smooth, clean surface ready for refinishing.
Repair & Restoration
We repair cracks, fill gaps, and address any structural issues. Minor damage is carefully restored to ensure the door is structurally sound and visually seamless.
Custom Finishing
We apply custom-matched stains and multiple coats of exterior-grade clear finish. Each coat is carefully applied and cured for a durable, weather-resistant finish that enhances the wood's natural beauty.
