Cherryville, NC Door Staining

In Cherryville, NC, a customer contacted us to refinish their front door, which had significant wear and tear, including damage from dog bites and scratches. There was also an existing door wax repair that needed to be sanded down. Our first step was to clean the door thoroughly with an all-purpose cleaner to remove any dirt and grime, ensuring a smooth surface for the stain to adhere to.

After a gentle yet thorough cleaning, we began sanding the door. We carefully removed as much of the old stain as possible without damaging the wood. Using a progression of sandpaper from coarse to medium/fine grit, we ensured the wood had a smooth finish, which is crucial to avoid rough patches that might become noticeable after staining.

With the door and frame prepped, we applied the stain. We chose CABOT GOLD mahogany for its durability and close match to the original color. This product was particularly suitable given the bottom half of the door receives a lot of sunlight and needed a stain that would resist fading over time. We applied two coats to ensure a shiny, consistent finish throughout the entire door.

During the project, we noticed the clear caulking around the glass was worn and needed replacing. The customer opted for this additional service, so we removed the old caulking and applied high-quality clear silicone to ensure a watertight seal between the wood and glass.

This door staining project turned out great, and the customer was thrilled with the result. The door looked refreshed and ready to withstand more years of use. Since then, we've been called back to do more work for this satisfied customer.
