Garage Door Painting in San Diego

Last Updated: February 19, 2020

If we’re being honest, garage doors are the unsung heroes of curb appeal. Most often the attention goes to the body and trim colors, and the front door. All for good reason, but if that’s the primary focus you’re missing out on a golden opportunity for adding wow factor to your San Diego home.

Our team here at Chism Brothers Painting specializes in garage door painting and refinishing, refreshing style across a prominent surface that you’ll be staring at every day. And, thanks to our San Diego sun, your garage door also has likely experienced some serious sun fade and oxidation.

Let’s take a closer look at a couple awesome examples of what fresh paint can do.

And, don’t forget: these transformations go way beyond style alone. Paint and stain are a first line of defense, locking out moisture, pests, rot, and UV damage.

Exterior Painting (including that garage door!)

All of the exterior colors work together beautifully around this San Diego home, but we think the garage door steals the show.

Refinishing Wood Garage Doors

We may love paint, but it’s impossible to deny the beauty of naturally finished wood. In this case, we restored seriously weather-worn garage doors, topping off the surface with a gorgeous stain and finish coat that lets that wood shine. Incredible, isn’t it?
