More and more often we are being asked by homeowners to restore their painted doors back to the original wood. We take our time stripping and sanding to a smooth finish that is ready for stain.
It’s rewarding to remove the many layers of paint to find the beautiful grain and little scuffs and cracks that tell the story of many generations that have used these doors over their 100+ years serving the home.
Sometimes, we find more damage than expected - but we make it work! This project consisted of 5 interior doors. When we found a large, patched hole in one of the panels, our carpentry team came to with the bright idea to put a thin veneer panel over it. Then they had fun adding character to it so that it would match the scuffs and scrapes of the old beauties. 🚪
