Garage Door Refinishing and Painting

On most North Shore homes the garage door is a third of what you see from the street. A wood door with cloudy, peeling varnish or a steel door with chalky, faded paint takes the whole house down with it. Refinishing is a fraction of what a new door costs, and it is usually done in two days.

Wood Garage Doors

We remove the failing coating, strip and sand the wood, repair dings and raised grain, then apply the stain and multiple coats of a clear, film-forming marine varnish. The result is a smooth, rich finish that protects the wood from water and sun. If the existing varnish is only beginning to dull, a maintenance coat now avoids a full strip later.

Steel, Aluminum, and Fiberglass Doors

Factory finishes fade and chalk. We wash, scuff, prime with the right bonding primer, and apply an exterior enamel that holds color. Match the trim, match the front door, or make the garage door disappear into the siding. The choice is yours and we will help you make it.

Yearly Maintenance

A wood garage door should be washed and inspected once a year. When the finish starts to dull, one coat of varnish keeps it sealed. We offer a maintenance schedule so you never have to strip it again.

Front Door and Garage Door Together

Most of our garage door jobs include the front door. Same visit, same finish, same color story for the whole front of the house.

Garage doors are painted or refinished to match the rest of the exterior.
