Before and After

Got grand entrance painting questions? We've got answers
Here are some of the top questions we hear. If yours isn't on the list, contact us! We're here to help, and are totally transparent about our approach, pricing, and process.
Is it better to refinish my front door or replace it?
Refinishing lets you keep the quality and craftsmanship of your existing door while giving it a fresh new look. It’s usually more cost-effective than replacing and helps preserve the unique character of your home’s entrance.
How do you protect front doors from sun and weather in San Diego?
We use premium stains, paints, and protective clear coats made for Southern California’s strong sun and coastal conditions. This helps your door resist fading, peeling, and moisture damage.
Can you fix damage before refinishing my door?
Yes. We handle light carpentry, repair thresholds, fill cracks, and even refinish hardware so your door is fully restored before we apply new finishes.
Do you offer custom colors or stain options for entry doors?
Absolutely. We provide custom color matching, hand-applied stains, and decorative details to create a finish that fits your home’s style. Whether you want a rich wood tone or a bold painted look, we’ll help you choose the perfect option.
