How much does front door refinishing cost in Toronto?

As a guide, front door refinishing typically starts at $350, though every project is priced individually. We give you a firm written quote — usually within 24 hours — after you send a few photos and details through our online form, so there are no surprises.

How long does front door refinishing take?

Most front door refinishing projects take half-day to full day. We give you a realistic timeline with your quote and stick to it, working cleanly and finishing when we said we would.

What paint brands and products do you use?

We work exclusively with premium Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Behr Premium products — never contractor-grade paints that fade or scuff within a year. We match the exact product to the surface and how the space is used.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a two-year written warranty, on top of the manufacturer warranty on the paint itself. If something isn't right, we come back and make it right.

Do you need to visit before quoting?

For most jobs, no. Submit photos and a few details online and Reza will send an accurate written estimate — no site visit required. We only book an in-person look for unusual or large-scale projects.

The front door is the first thing visitors and buyers see. A faded, peeling door signals neglect before anyone even gets inside. A freshly painted door in the right colour signals pride of ownership.

For wood doors, we strip old paint or varnish, fill dents and cracks, sand smooth, prime, and apply two coats of high-gloss exterior paint. The gloss level on a door matters — a good exterior gloss holds up to weather and wiping, and reflects light in a way that makes the colour pop.

For steel doors, we spot-prime rust, feather the edges, and apply a bonding primer and topcoat. Most steel door refinishes take half a day.

What's included

Old finish stripped or sanded down on wood doors
Dents, cracks, and dings filled and sanded smooth
Oil-based bonding primer for adhesion
Two coats of exterior gloss or semi-gloss
Hardware protected — removed or carefully masked
Steel, wood, and fibreglass doors all handled

Our process

1
Pressure wash & inspect
The whole exterior is washed to strip dirt, chalk, and mildew, then inspected for failing paint, rot, and gaps that need attention.
2
Scrape, sand & repair
Loose and peeling paint is scraped and sanded, and damaged wood or masonry is repaired so the finish has a sound surface to grip.
3
Caulk & prime
Every gap and joint is caulked with exterior-grade sealant, and bare spots are spot-primed to lock out moisture — the freeze-thaw enemy of Ontario paint.
4
Two finish coats
We apply two full coats of premium exterior paint built for our climate, carrying manufacturer warranties of up to 15 years when applied over proper prep.
5
Final inspection & clean-up
We do a full walkaround with you, touch up anything flagged, and leave the property spotless — no debris, no paint chips in the garden.
