Painting interior doors requires proper prep for a smooth, durable finish. We start by removing or masking hardware, sanding for adhesion, and repairing dents or cracks. After cleaning, we apply a primer suited to the door’s material to prevent stains from bleeding through. Finish coats are applied with professional brushes, rollers, or sprayers for even coverage without streaks. This process ensures a flawless look that resists chips, scratches, and wear over time.
Our window trim painting process enhances appearance and protects wood. We remove flaking paint, sand for smoothness, and fill gaps with caulking to seal out moisture. After cleaning, we apply a primer for strong adhesion, followed by finish coats applied with precision for crisp lines. The result brightens rooms, frames windows beautifully, and shields the wood from damage, extending its lifespan and improving your home’s appeal.
Water based paints are typically dry to the touch in 1–2 hours, while oil-based paints may take 6–8. We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before regular use to avoid smudges or sticking. Full curing takes 7–10 days, during which it’s best to avoid heavy contact or cleaning. This allows the finish to harden completely, ensuring maximum durability and a long lasting appearance.
