Exterior Wood Door Refinishing Project
View this projects photosWood doors are very popular in Texas. The harsh sun can damage wood doors that are not cared for properly or refinished properly. New doors should be refinished within the first year. This is due to the wood drying out and original stain fading. Most doors when they come from the factory have one coat of clear seal over the stain.
If doors are not properly maintained, pealing of the clear coat will occur, wood panels may crack, and your door may warp. These are some concerns you should monitor. Maintained properly a wooden door will last as long as you want it to. Lack of maintenance will cause home appearance problems and could eventually cost far more to repair.
The front door is something most people "just get used to seeing". Many times homeowners do not see the door as others would. This is the first thing someone will see when they come to you home. Your front door needs to be maintained to provide the right first impression.
Please review the attached photos of a twenty foot custom wood door which was sanded down to the bare wood for refinishing. This door was made up of four sections. The panels in the door were all hand carved. All detail had to be stripped due to clear coat chipping away.
Please feel free to contact Mr. Handyman with any questions you may have regarding wood door refinishing, door adjustments, door installation and door weatherstripping.
