We inspect the material, door alignment, existing finish, and hardware. Then we can preserve the current look or help you choose a new color and finish.
We inspect the entire door, including the slab, frame, trim, glass, and hardware. After a test area, we determine whether a spot repair is enough or the finish should be fully renewed.
Important: Natural color differences between individual solid-wood pieces will not disappear completely.
Important: Deep scratches cannot be sanded out completely without damaging thin veneer.
Important: Old paint may hide filler, previous repairs, and mixed materials.
Important: A new finish cannot correct leaks, lack of weather protection, constant water exposure, or severe warping.
Important: We inspect glass, carving, and old hardware in advance to choose a safe work method.
We check the color and sheen on a sample. Severe warping, rot, and failed joints require a separate assessment.
The photo shows one stage of the process.
The photo shows the work in progress: part of the old finish has been removed and part remains.
We treat molding, carving, and edges carefully to avoid softening fine details.
We can preserve the wood grain, change the tone, or paint the door a solid color.
The door slab, frame, trim, and hardware are evaluated separately so the scope is clear before work begins.
Before work begins, we check the material, the old coating, and any nearby surfaces that need protection.
Thin veneer cannot be sanded deeply.
Severe warping, rot, and failed joints require inspection and separate carpentry repairs.
Carving and detailed surfaces are cleaned only with gentle methods.
We inspect antique doors and original finishes first to avoid removing valuable details.
An exact existing-color match must be confirmed with a sample.
Send us an overall photo, a close-up, and a short description of what you need done.
We check the material, existing finish, damage, and access to the work area.
When needed, we test the chosen method on a small, inconspicuous area.
We explain the work, the expected result, and the price before we begin.
We protect the surrounding area, complete the work, and monitor the surface throughout the process.
We review the finished surface with you and explain how to care for it.
Price depends on more than size. We also consider the material, surface condition, and access to the work area.

Send us a few photos and describe the work you need in your own words.
Yes. We come to your property, so you do not need to remove or transport the door. We protect the opening, floor, and nearby surfaces before work begins.
Yes, when the carving is intact. We clean it carefully to avoid softening the raised design and fine details.
Sometimes. The result depends on the wood species, how deeply the old stain penetrated, and any existing stains. We check the possible color on a small area first.
