Commercial Gallery

Commercial Doors require specialized knowledge to preserve the quality and provide a durable finish that will stand up to both weather and customer abuse. In this case, we almost always set up a yearly maintenance program once the doors are refinished. This allows the business to focus on its services while we take care of the doors over the years.

We have yearly services with several Golf and Country Clubs, Churches, Commercial Condo complexes, Residential Condos, Retail establishments, and National Organizations, to name a few.

Sample Work #1

Project Description:

59 Commercial Exterior Door Strip and Refinish with Hand-Rubbed Oil
Door Construction: Solid Oak
Town Center, Lincoln and Main St.
Breckinridge, CO

These Doors, typical of all 59 doors on this project, on the left and above that had been refinished 3-years earlier with verethane.

Note the condition of these doors on the left and above.

The verethane flakes and peals and turn yellow. No matter what the verethane or varnish is covering- maple, cherry, walnut, mahogany- the door will look this yellow color in a few years after the varnish yellows, cracks, and peals.

We refinished the doors on the right, and after six years, with yearly maintenance, they still looked as good as the day they were refinished. Notice how the grain of the wood shows through. Our penetrating hand-rubbed oil finish will not yellow over time, or peal and flake like the verethane on the left.

Sample Work #2

Project Description:

Father Dyer Church
Historic Renovation, Strip and Refinish with Hand-Rubbed Oil
Door Construction: 1/64th of an inch thick Fir Veneer

Notice again the faded color of the original finish on the left. The whole door looks the color of faded yellow varnish. On the right, look at how the natural grain of the wood comes through.

Also note the darker staining we created to emphasize the cross. These doors also required some repairs as the bottom panels had problems with the veneer coat pealing off.

Sample Work #3

Project Description:

Main and Back Entrances of High Rise Upper-Scale Condos
Strip and Refinish with Hand-Rubbed Oil
Door Construction: Solid Honduran Mahogany Doors and Sidelights

We did not get a “before” picture of this set of doors. However, before the refinish this door set looked yellow from the varnish that had faded over the years.

When the finish was removed the natural beauty of the mahogany wood came through. With a quick reapplication of the oil each year, these doors will look this good 10-years from now.

Sample Work #4

Project Description:

5 Main Lobby Doors
Strip and Refinish with Hand-Rubbed Oil
Door Construction: 1/64th of an inch thick fir veneer doors
Hyatt Regency

These 5 Lobby doors were changed in color from badly weathered light green whitewash to a natural color.

This is a particularly difficult refinish as the whitewash finish and badly weathered wood usually shows up when going to a darker color.

With our process, however, we were able to present the Hyatt with near perfect refinished lobby doors.
