Door Refurbishment in Toronto : Preserving the beauty and Longevity of Your Doors

Is your exterior front door losing its luster? Discover the art of door refurbishment in Toronto, where we specialize in preserving the beauty and longevity of exterior front doors. More than just an entryway, your front door is an expression of your home’s personality and style. If crafted from exquisite woods like Mahogany, Oak, Jarrah, Cherry, Maple, or Walnut, these doors deserve to be cherished and maintained for years to come. At Chromatist Painters, we offer specialized wood door restoration—an eco-friendly, budget-friendly, and stylish alternative to door replacement.

Why Choose Door Refurbishment over Replacement?

  • Budget Friendly

  • Environmental Friendly

  • Quick and Easy

  • Look Consistency

  • Art Preservation

Even though some may think door painting would be the solution to all of the damaged surfaces, there is still a better solution to preserve the look of a wooden door rather than hiding it behind many coats of paint and sentence your beautiful front door which used to be nice and costly to a new life that may last for couple years. By our door restaining and refurbishing system we help homeowners to preserve the old wooden doors they have and keep them for another decade or more. Here are why you can restore your exterior front door rather than replace it or paint it.

Budget Friendly

Budget-Friendly: Door replacement can cost a fortune, ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 for a quality entrance door, including installation and finishing expenses. In contrast, our door restoring and refurbishing services can revitalize your existing door by restaining it, starting  $1,695 + HST depending on its size and condition.

Environmental Friendly

Disposing of your existing door and installing a new one can have a significant impact on the environment due to the chemicals and materials used. Door restaining and refurbishment minimize waste and employ more eco-friendly stripping, staining, varnishing and sealing materials.

Quick and Easy

Our efficient door refurbishing process typically takes just three days to complete. From stripping and sanding the old stain and varnish off of your front door, to staining and varnishing, we have a well-planned approach to ensure a smooth transformation.

  1. Day one would be covering, removing/protecting hardware, Closing inside areas, stripping paint, and sanding using Dustless Festool Sander.
  2. Day two would be preparing, filling, smoothing, staining, and cleaning.
  3. The final day would be sealing, caulking, varnishing, putting the hardware back, and last cleaning.

We tend to finish in three days, however once in a blue moon we need to take the extra step and do the second step twice in two days.

Look Consistency

Refurbishing your existing wooden front door maintains the character and charm of your home. A well-preserved entrance door complements the overall look of your house, ensuring consistency and curb appeal.

Art of Preservation

If your door is crafted from exceptional woods like Mahogany, Oak, or Jarrah, it’s a work of art worth preserving. Our door restoration efforts will showcase its intricate design and craftsmanship, turning it into an enduring masterpiece.
