How we handle front door staining in Santa Ana
Assess
We look at the wood, the existing finish, sun exposure and any damage, and decide whether the door can be refinished in place.
Clean
The door is cleaned, and hardware, glass and weatherstripping are protected or removed.
Prep
The old finish is stripped or sanded back to sound wood and the surface is smoothed.
Stain
Stain goes on with the grain, followed by a protective finish suited to sun and weather.
Review
We check the door with you and explain cure time and how to keep the finish looking good.

Front Door Staining in Santa Ana: common questions
Can you paint a historic home in Santa Ana?
Yes, with extra attention to prep and color. Homes in historic districts may have guidelines for exterior colors, so check with the city first. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, so tell us your home's age.
Do you have to take the door off?
Often a door can be refinished in place. We tell you in your written estimate how we plan to handle yours.
How long does a refinished door finish last?
It depends on the product and how much sun and weather the door gets. Sun-facing doors wear fastest. We'll give you a realistic interval.
Can you match the color my door has now?
We can get close. We test the stain on a hidden edge of the door first so you can approve the color before we continue.
