Door Refinishing Frequently Asked Questions

Most single front doors run $400 to $1,000, and double doors run $750 to $1,500. Garage doors range from $900 to $2,500, fiberglass doors from $500 to $1,100, and iron doors from $600 to $1,800. Pricing depends on the door's size, condition, and finish, so for an exact number text a photo of your door to (470) 333-6655 for a free quote.

Price depends mostly on the door's size, material, and current condition. A weathered door with peeling or sun damage takes more prep than one that just needs a refresh, and double doors, sidelights, and transoms add surface area. Material matters too, since fiberglass, iron, and solid wood are each handled differently. Text a photo to (470) 333-6655 and we'll give you an accurate quote.

We keep payment simple and discuss the details with you when we confirm your quote. Because most doors are completed in a single day on-site, there's no long drawn-out billing process. We'll go over accepted payment methods and any deposit when you book. Call or text (470) 333-6655 with questions before you schedule.

Almost always, yes. A quality new entry door plus installation can run several thousand dollars, while refinishing most single doors costs $400 to $1,000 and double doors $750 to $1,500. If your door is structurally sound and just looks worn or sun-faded, refinishing restores it for a fraction of replacement cost. Text a photo to (470) 333-6655 and we'll tell you honestly whether refinishing makes sense.

The fastest way is to text a photo of your door to (470) 333-6655. A clear picture lets us see the size, material, and condition so we can give you an accurate price without an in-person visit. Quotes are always free and there's no obligation. You can also call the same number if you'd rather talk it through.

Most doors are finished in a single day. We come to you, handle all the prep, staining, and sealing on-site, and have your entry back in service by evening. Larger projects, double doors, or doors with heavy damage may need extra time, and we'll tell you upfront if that applies. Text a photo to (470) 333-6655 for a timeline specific to your door.

In most cases we refinish the door right in place on the hinges, which keeps your home secure and the job efficient. We carefully mask off hardware, glass, and surrounding trim before we start. If a particular door or finish calls for taking it down, we'll discuss that with you first. Questions about your specific door? Text (470) 333-6655.

Most single doors are completed in one day from prep to final seal. Same-day scheduling depends on our calendar and your door's condition, so the sooner you reach out the better. We're fully mobile and bring everything needed to your home. Text a photo to (470) 333-6655 and we'll let you know the soonest day we can come out.

Because we usually refinish the door in place, your entry stays functional and secure throughout the day. We mask off the surrounding area and keep the workspace clean and contained. By the time we finish, the door is back to normal use that evening in most cases. If your door needs to come down at any point, we'll plan it with you so you're never left exposed. Call (470) 333-6655 with any concerns.

Very little. Just clear a bit of space around the door and make sure we can access it on the day of service. We bring all the tools, stains, and sealants and handle the sanding, masking, and cleanup ourselves. If there are pets, a security system, or parking notes we should know about, mention them when you book at (470) 333-6655.

Stain and sealant need dry conditions to cure properly, so if heavy rain or storms are in the Atlanta forecast we'll reschedule to protect the quality of the finish. We watch the weather closely and will reach out ahead of time if a change is needed. Rescheduling is always free and easy. Text (470) 333-6655 and we'll find the next clear day.

We use professional-grade wood stains paired with marine-grade, UV-protective sealants chosen to stand up to Georgia's strong sun and humidity. The stain brings out the wood's natural grain and the topcoat protects it from fading, moisture, and weathering. We can match a wide range of tones from light natural to deep espresso. Text a photo to (470) 333-6655 and we'll recommend the right finish for your door.

Marine-grade sealants are the same class of protective finishes used on boats, built to resist intense UV exposure, moisture, and temperature swings. Atlanta's hot sun and high humidity are tough on exterior doors, and a standard finish can fade or peel quickly. Using a marine-grade UV-protective topcoat helps your door's color and seal last far longer. Want details for your door? Call (470) 333-6655.

Yes. We can match a wide range of stain tones and work to coordinate your door with existing trim, sidelights, or a color you have in mind. Wood species and grain affect how a stain reads, so we'll guide you toward a realistic result that looks great on your specific door. Text a photo and any color references to (470) 333-6655 and we'll talk options.

Yes. We offer a range of sheens from low-luster satin to a richer semi-gloss and high-gloss finish, depending on the look you want. Satin hides minor surface texture and gives a soft, natural appearance, while glossier finishes add depth and shine. We'll help you pick the sheen that suits your door and home's style. Call or text (470) 333-6655 to discuss.

We're happy to discuss lower-odor product options, which can be a good fit for interior doors or households sensitive to fumes. Because we work on-site, we also keep the area ventilated and clean throughout the job. Product choice can affect durability and cure time, so we'll walk you through the trade-offs. Let us know your priorities when you reach out at (470) 333-6655.

We're Atlanta Door Refinishing & Wood Restore — an independent, locally operated, on-site refinishing team serving Metro Atlanta. There are several similarly named door companies in the area, so the best way to make sure you're working with us is to call or text (470) 333-6655 directly. We'd rather earn your trust with honest quotes and great work than with a name.

Refinishing is far cheaper — typically 80 to 90% less than replacement. A new custom entry door runs about $3,500 to $8,000+ installed, while refinishing usually costs $400 to $1,500 and is done on-site, often in a single day. Text a photo to (470) 333-6655 for your exact refinishing price.

Replacement only makes sense with severe structural failure — deep rot through the core, a cracked or badly warped slab that no longer seals, or major termite damage. If the door is structurally sound and just looks faded, peeling, or sun-damaged, refinishing restores it for a fraction of the cost. We'll always give you an honest assessment first.

Both. Alongside wood doors, we refinish fiberglass doors with specialized gel stains and a UV clear coat for a realistic wood-grain look, and we restore iron and steel doors with rust treatment, repainting, and a protective clear-coat. Text a photo to (470) 333-6655 and we'll tell you the best approach for your door.

We do real repair, not just re-staining. Our process includes filling cracks and gouges, repairing sun-split panels, and addressing minor rot before any finish goes on. For doors with limited damage this restores them completely; only severe structural rot calls for replacement, and we'll tell you honestly if that's the case.
