Comprehensive restoration solutions for wooden doors and window frames
Our signature service addresses every aspect of door restoration, from structural repairs to final finishing. We begin with careful assessment, documenting the door's condition and original features before any work begins.
The process includes safe paint removal, wood repair or replacement where necessary, hardware restoration, and application of period-appropriate or modern finishes based on your preference. Exterior doors receive additional weatherproofing treatment.
Assessment, stripping, structural repairs, filling, sanding, priming, finishing (paint or stain), hardware cleaning, weather sealing
Custom or oversized doors quoted individually. Hardware restoration charged separately if required.
Wooden window frames face constant exposure to weather, making them prone to rot, warping, and paint failure. Our repair service addresses these issues while preserving the original frame whenever possible.
We use epoxy consolidants for stabilizing soft wood, dutchman repairs for replacing damaged sections, and flexible fillers that move with seasonal wood expansion. All repairs are designed to be invisible once finished.
