Protect Your Door With A beautiful Finish
Our eight-step finishing procedure produces a door with a beautiful, protective finish that ensures long life and distinguished beauty. Our experienced craftsmen apply only the highest quality alkyd resin-based stains and marine-grade spar varnish top coats with ultraviolet inhibitors. Then they detail hand sand each door after each step. This ambitious finishing system assures beauty and long-lasting protection.
The hardwoods used in the manufacture of doors all vary slightly in color and grain pattern. These differences are inherent in hardwoods, and should not be considered defects. If you are ordering pre-finished doors for a double door installation, or for a door and sidelight installation, please advise us of such installation at the time that you order. We will attempt to color match the finish of the different millwork items as closely as possible.
Medium Red
We use a “red mahogany” colored stain. Especially attractive when used on mahogany doors.
Medium Brown
We use a medium brown/red colored stain for this popular color. Looks great on mahogany doors.
