Front Doors



Tired of that old steel or fiberglass door that graces your entry way? Lacking the thousands of dollars, time, and aggravation that it takes to select and have a new one installed? The front door says a great deal about you and your home. What does a bold and beautiful door say that a dull, dirty one cannot?


In these photos, the hardware was updated and the sidelight and door were re-painted with an exterior semi-gloss paint. Then, I mixed a variety of colors on-hand and made a glaze that I then wood-grained and coated with a clear industrial gloss finish.


The result is a door that makes a dramatic statement; I love to hear the neighbors ask about the cost and species of our new wooden door. They are amazed to walk up and discover that it's the exact same door that was installed when the house was built.
