Our Process — Residential Door Refinishing Near Atlanta, GA
Every residential job follows the same steps. No shortcuts, no skipped stages.
Step 1 — Door Removal & Entry Seal
We take the door down carefully and seal your entrance before starting work — your home stays secure the entire time.
Step 3 — Surface Prep & Sanding
Triple sanding in progressive stages to remove residue, open the wood grain, and create a surface the new stain can bond to properly.
Step 5 — UV Marine Varnish
Two coats of our patent-pending UV marine-grade varnish. Designed to flex with the wood through Atlanta's temperature swings and resist moisture without clouding or peeling.
Step 2 — Full Strip & Surface Inspection
The old finish comes off completely. This is where we find any hidden damage under the existing coating before it becomes a bigger problem.
Step 4 — Stain Application
We match or update your stain color based on your preference and the wood type. Mahogany, oak, fir, pine — each takes stain differently and we know how to handle each one.
Step 6 — Reinstall & Final Check
Door goes back on the same day. We check the fit, hardware, and finish before we pack up.
Refinish vs. Replace — What Atlanta Homeowners Actually Need to Know
A new solid wood front door in Atlanta costs $1,500–$4,000+ installed. In most cases, the door itself is fine — the finish has just broken down from years of direct sun and humidity. Refinishing restores full protection and curb appeal at a fraction of that cost.
Refinish if the wood is solid at the core and damage is surface-level. Replace only if the door is hollow, structurally unsafe, or fully rotted through. Most front doors we’re called about fall in the first category. We’ll tell you which before we start.
