Antique Door Refinish – Preserving a Piece of History

This project featured a beautiful historic door from a Victorian Village home, refinished for a homeowner who wanted to preserve a tangible piece of the property’s past after a full remodel. Rather than discarding it, the customer chose to showcase the door as a statement piece and wall art, celebrating the home’s original craftsmanship.

Our team at Lee Painting dedicated hours to careful restoration at our off-site facility—hand-sanding with multiple grades of paper to achieve a smooth, uniform surface while maintaining the wood’s natural character. The door was then prepared for staining, revealing its timeless beauty and ensuring it would remain a striking focal point for years to come.

A perfect example of how attention to detail and respect for history can bring new life to an old treasure.
