A front door sets the tone for the rest of the exterior, and it is also the part of the paint job that takes the most abuse from sun, rain, and use. We strip what is failing, sand back to a workable surface, prime where it counts, and finish with a coating built for doors. Most single doors are done in one to two days.
What gets covered in every doors job. Itemized, in writing, before we start.
Painted or stained front doors stripped of failing finish, sanded, primed where needed, and recoated. Hinges and hardware come off so edges and joints get the same finish as the face.
Door frames, casing, jambs, and the threshold get the same finish as the door so the entry reads as one piece.
Aluminum or wood screen and storm doors refinished in place or off-site if needed. Frames masked and re-keyed if hardware swaps are part of the job.
Sectional steel or wood garage doors washed, sanded for bond, and rolled or sprayed with a coating built to handle Florida sun.
Bedroom, bath, and closet doors stripped down, primed, and brushed with a higher-sheen door enamel that wipes clean.
Knobs, hinges, deadbolts, kickplates, and weather seal back on or upgraded. Door swings checked so nothing rubs.
Same sequence on every project. The owner is on site through all of it.
Front doors take the full hit of sun, rain, hand traffic, and slamming. That is why a door finish that holds for ten years on the siding will fail in two on the door. Door refinishing uses harder coatings, more thorough prep, and a different primer system than the rest of the exterior. Done right, the door is a feature; done wrong, it is the first thing to fail.
Door condition and stripping requirements are the biggest cost drivers. A painted door in fair shape is fast. A weather-blistered door, a stained door that needs stripping, or multiple old layers add prep time. Scope is quoted per door at the walkthrough.
Every job is quoted in writing after a walkthrough. No verbal estimates, no surprises after we start.
