Door Painting & Refinishing for Evanston, Illinois homes
A painted door is ninety percent prep. Hardware off, old bores filled, everything sanded and masked — that's what makes the finish last instead of peeling off the edges in a year.
Evanston's pre-war houses are full of original profiles that have to be matched rather than replaced, and that is most of what we do here. Whichever it turns out to be, the carpenter who prices your Evanston job is the one who shows up to do it.
Front doors get the most sun and the most hands, so they're the ones worth doing properly. Interior doors are the same job at a smaller scale, usually a whole house at a time.

Common questions
Door Painting & Refinishing in Evanston, answered
Do you do door painting & refinishing in Evanston?
Yes. Evanston is inside our regular service area and we work there every month. Call (224) 944-8652 and we'll set a time to look at the job and put a written price on it.
Can you paint the door in place?
Yes, and most of the time that's what we do — the door stays hung and your house stays closed up. Hardware still comes off, and the glass and hinges still get masked.
How much does it cost?
Every job is priced after we see the actual space, so you get a real number rather than a range. The estimate is free, it's in writing, and the scope is spelled out before any work starts.
