Our Door Painting Process

Door Prep

We identify the door material, existing finish, damage and desired appearance, then define whether the project requires cleaning, sanding, spot repairs, primer, paint or stain.

Preparation

Hardware and surrounding surfaces are protected or removed as appropriate. The door is cleaned and prepared for adhesion, including sanding or spot repairs where required.

Application

Primer is used when needed for the substrate or existing coating. Paint or stain is then applied using a method suitable for the selected product and desired finish.

Inspection & Quality Check

Edges, panels and included trim are reviewed after application, followed by final touch-ups and cleanup.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert and his team did an excellent job repairing and painting siding on my house.

I had several sections of failing siding on my house. Robert was able to inspect the siding, give me a quote, and complete the work all within 1 week.

He was fairly priced, had great communication, and his team was very efficient and professional. Robert went above and beyond by providing me a list of all my interior and exterior paint colors, by replacing an additional piece of failing siding that we noticed as his team was finishing up, and by giving me advice on siding maintenance that I can do myself.

I’d recommend River City Painting to friends and family.

Freqently Asked Questions

Paint vs. Stain for Wood Doors

Paint provides an opaque color and can cover previous color variation, while stain is used when the wood appearance is intended to remain visible. The existing finish and wood condition determine whether staining is practical.

Will you work around my business hours?

Yes, we offer flexible scheduling, including after-hours and weekends, to minimize disruption to your business.

Can you paint metal doors?

Yes, when the metal and existing coating are suitable for refinishing. Rust, peeling paint and bare metal require appropriate preparation before finishing coats.

Do you have to remove the door?

Not every project requires full door removal. The method depends on the door, hardware, finish and site conditions and should be confirmed in the scope.

Can a stained wood door be painted?

Often yes, with the correct cleaning, sanding and primer system. The existing finish should be evaluated first.
