Where to have doors stripped?
So my buddy has a gorgeous home in PLG and is contemplating stripping the original 6 panel doors with a sander. I said why not send them out to be dipped? He said where? I said I don't know, I'll ask Brownstoner. So help me out folks, where does one have wood dipped?

try big apple stripping (stripper). He's on Staten Island. does amazing work. is very reasonable. You'll have to find the phone number on your own.

Careful with dipping, if there's any glue in the door kiss that goodbye as well.

Joe Salem will strip your doors on the premises. I recently had a large amount of work done by him. He is very, very reasonably priced.

Try eastendwoodstrippers.com (718 783-4112) .They stripped 23 doors and 20 shutters for us, all with 150 years worth of paint layers, and they came back looking great.
Be careful sanding old paint because you then spread lead dust everywhere.
Good luck.

Here's that phone number:
Big Apple Stripping, 13 Dehart Ave, Staten Island, 718-447-1088
And another if you're NJ-friendly:
Dip N Strip, 106 Frederick St., Hackensack, 201-487-1115
I'm told that this Dip N Strip is cheaper, but they don't do a final sanding for you. Big Apple Stripping will sand after stripping. I haven't personally dealt with either, so this is all 2nd hand knowledge and may be incorrect.

I found out that dipping is really not much cheaper than hand stripping, and it is trouble down the road. compare quotes. hand stripping can be anywhere in between $200_$250 depending on amount paint .

how long would stripping, let's say a front door, take? what do people do while the door is off and out being stripped? put in a temp?

have them stripped in place , no need to have them removed. I had mine done at my premise, but I was told they would be gone for 2 days if I wanted them removed for stripping only.
