The transformation of a door:
door with years of damage before refinishing
notice the color fading and flaking
water damage, peeling, fading
stain and topcoat are literally peeling off
door is chemically stripped and sanded with 3 grits of sandpaper for optimal smoothness
door is taken all the way down to the factory condition
first coat of stain (stains always applied by hand)
more staining by hand
door cures overnight after staining is finished and in-between all coats of topcoats. Letting stains and topcoats cure correctly is essential!
refinished and installed like new, candlelite stain with semi-gloss topcoat (weatherstripping is always replaced)
