Repair

How It Works

From Sun-Baked
to Showroom

We do not paint over the damage. We take it back to clean wood so the new finish bonds and lasts in the sun.

01

Assess the Door

We check how deep the UV damage goes, the wood type, and whether we refinish on-site or off the hinges.

02

Strip & Sand

We strip the failed finish and sand back to clean, even, bare wood, repairing cracks and checking as we go.

03

Stain & Match

We re-stain to revive the grain and match the color you want, sampling first when needed.

04

Seal for Sun

We apply multiple UV-resistant, marine-grade coats to protect against San Diego direct sun.

05

Reset & Protect

We reinstall hardware and weatherstripping, then walk you through keeping it protected.

The Difference

A Finish Built
for Direct Sun

Interior finishes fail fast outdoors. We use coatings made for the exact conditions your door faces.

UV-Rated Coatings

We use UV-blocking, exterior-grade finishes made for doors that take direct afternoon sun.

Back to Bare Wood

We do not just coat over the damage. We take it back to clean wood so the finish bonds and lasts.

Cheaper Than Replacing

A quality solid-wood door is worth saving. Refinishing costs a fraction of a new door.

Common Questions

Front Door Refinishing FAQ

My door is gray and faded, can it be saved?
Almost always. Sanded back and re-sealed, most sun-faded wood doors look new again.
Do you refinish the door on-site?
When possible, yes. Deeper jobs can be done off the hinges and rehung the same day when practical.
What makes the finish last in the sun?
We use UV-resistant, marine-grade coatings built for direct sun, not standard interior finishes.
Can you match my current stain color?
Yes. We match close to the original or change the color, and can sample first.
How often should a sunny door be recoated?
South- and west-facing doors do best with a light refresh coat every year or two.
How much does refinishing cost?
Flat-rate quote based on the door and its condition. You get the price before we start.
