Don't Replace Solid Wood.

Your front door is the focal point of your home. A custom solid mahogany, oak, or knotty alder door can easily cost $3,000 to $8,000 to replace. When the clear coat begins to flake and the sun turns the rich wood gray, replacement isn't your only option.

At DPS Design Painting Services, we bring dead doors back to life. We chemically strip away the failed varnish, sand the wood down to its raw, beautiful state, apply deep penetrating stains, and seal it with marine-grade spar urethane to fight off Houston's brutal humidity and UV rays.

How It Works

The Restoration Process

1

Removal & Hardware Prep

We carefully remove the door from its hinges and lay it flat on sawhorses. We take off all weather stripping, handles, locks, and safely mask the glass panels.

2

Chemical Stripping & Sanding

We apply professional-grade strippers to melt away the old, flaking clear coats. Then, we use orbital and hand-sanders to take the wood down to its beautiful, bare state.

3

Custom Staining

We apply a rich, deeply penetrating wood stain of your choice. We work the stain thoroughly into the grain to ensure a perfectly even, vibrant color.

4

Marine-Grade Clear Coating

We apply 2 to 3 coats of exterior Spar Urethane. This specialized varnish contains UV blockers and flexes with temperature changes, ensuring your door doesn't peel under the Texas sun.

Door Refinishing FAQs

Have questions? The fastest way to get an answer is to Call Us directly.

How long does front door refinishing take?

The entire process usually takes 1 to 2 days depending on the drying time of the stain and the multiple layers of protective clear coat. We never rush the curing process, ensuring maximum durability.

Do you remove the door to refinish it?

Yes, whenever possible, we remove the door from its hinges to lay it flat during the stripping, sanding, and sealing process. This ensures there are no drips or runs in the stain or varnish, resulting in a perfectly smooth finish.

How do you protect the door from the Texas sun?

We finish every wood door with multiple coats of high-quality, marine-grade spar urethane. This product contains special UV blockers that act like sunscreen for your wood, preventing future fading, cracking, and peeling.

Can I just paint my wooden door instead of staining it?

Yes! While many people prefer to show off the natural wood grain with stain, we can absolutely prime and paint your front door with a high-gloss exterior enamel in any custom color (like red, navy, or black) to give your home a unique pop of character.
