I had mine done back in March from Door Restore. It will run around $1200.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Both sides. And they cleaned up all of the scratch marks on the inside from my dog.

I assume a wood unpainted door.

Easy to do yourself unless the dog marks are deep.

Depending on how bad the surface is use 00, 000, and 0000 steel wool or 400, 600, 800, 1000 grit sanding pad. Wipe down with Paint thinning between grit changes and at end of sanding. Let dry.

Stain lightly if needed with a good quality stain. Let dry.

Use a wipe on poly such as [url=https://www.homedepot.com/p/Watco-1-Qt-Satin-Polyurethane-Wipe-On-68141/203377225][/url]Watco Satin Polyurethane Wipe-On. Buff with 0000 steel wool. Refinish. Buff again lightly with 0000 wool. Put on final coat.

Do this every two years or so depending on exposure and you will have a new looking door for decades.

Great weekend project. Save you $1,100. I will PM you to send me 1/2.

Never use polyurethane on an exterior front door or exterior woodwork. It does not hold up to UV and Humidity very well.


Spar Varnish is what you want

This has always been my preference for exterior doors

Piggybacking here, we've got an antique door that needs to be completely stripped. We were thinking of having it dipped. Does anyone around here do it?

Wow - I had no idea door refinishing cost $1,200

My front door only cost $900 brand new..... Might think about just replacing my door since I don't love it
