Door Painting & Refinishing in Lake County, IL

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.

The work

Door Painting & Refinishing services across Lake County, IL

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.

We pull the hardware rather than cutting around it, fill and sand any old lock bores or dents, and mask the glass, hinges and weatherstrip. A door painted with the knobs still on always shows 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, answered

Do you offer door painting & refinishing across Lake County?

Yes. Door Painting & Refinishing is one of our core services and we cover all of Lake County, from Lake Forest and Highland Park up to Zion and Antioch. Call (224) 944-8652 for a free estimate.

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.
