Door refinishing · Oklahoma City
A front door takes direct sun, rain, and daily use. When the finish turns gray, peels, or cracks, refinishing restores the wood and protects it with an exterior-rated finish.
A stained wood entry door is often the first thing people notice about a home, and in Oklahoma City it is also one of the hardest-working finishes on the house. Doors that face south or west can get hours of direct sun every day, and the finish breaks down from the outside in.
We stain new wood doors and refinish weathered ones. The goal is a rich, even color under a clear finish built to handle UV exposure and moisture.
For doors where the finish is dull or lightly worn but still intact. The door is cleaned and scuff-sanded, then gets fresh coats of exterior finish. This is the quickest and least costly option.
For doors with failing finish or exposed, weathered wood. The old finish is removed down to bare wood, minor surface damage is addressed, and the door is restained and finished with multiple protective coats.
Catching wear early is what keeps a door in the recoat category.
Planning budget
Use this range to plan a full refinish. Your final estimate depends on the door’s condition, preparation, repairs, and finish requirements.
Full refinishing of the exterior side of a single wood entry door.
Not included: Sidelights, major repairs, the interior side, double doors, fiberglass doors, maintenance recoats.
If this work is included in your room or whole-home estimate, it is not charged again separately.
This budget is for a full refinish. A maintenance recoat on a door that is still in good condition is a different scope and is quoted on its own.

A full refinish usually spans more than one day because stain and each finish coat need time to dry. A maintenance recoat on a door in good shape is quicker. We will explain the schedule for your door and how it will be secured overnight.
Going darker is usually straightforward. Going noticeably lighter means removing the old finish and stain down to bare wood, which takes more work. We test the stain on your door, or on matching wood, before committing.
It depends on exposure. A shaded door under a deep porch can go much longer than one facing south or west in full sun. Watch for dulling, cracking, or graying wood. A light maintenance coat at the first signs of wear costs far less than a full strip and refinish later.
