Doors and stairs — Before / After
A front door with renewed presence
The mouldings, decorative glazing and hardware already gave this entrance its character. In the before photograph, however, a dark, weathered finish muted the wood and made its details less distinct.
Refinishing reveals a warmer colour and more visible grain. The door retains its design, glazing and hardware, while the entrance takes on a brighter, well-cared-for appearance.
A visible transformation that preserves the door’s character. Have a door or woodwork to refresh? Send us a few photos and tell us about your project.
