Default Front door

My front door is wood. Does anyone know a contractor who could restain it? The stain on the door has been weathered.

We had Len from Contract Investment Painters paint our front entry and all trim and shutters and Trim around Garage Door. Them cats are really great. Call Them. You will not be sorry..

Here is a link, or just search them on this forum. They get a lot of very good recommendations here.

Also, consider a MARINE grade or equal varnish of final finish. Back up North, I had an all wood 16 foot garage door as well as front door, facing due west. I found that using MARINE grade finishes lasted almost twice as long as conventional finishes. I always did these myself, but I would check with the above contractor to see what they recommend for long life.

Our front door is wood. We're in Winifred. It's a resale though, so I'm not sure if the door is the original.

I have the same problem - front door faces east and the paint bubbles. This has happened repeatedly.

Our neighbor's door, original install, is wood and they used OMAR's to refinish it.
