Door Refinisher
I am in the process of getting estimates for refinishing my parlor floor entrance doors. They are alligatored with old paint and need quite a bit of attention. I spoke with Joe Salem of WoodTone and also East End Wood Stripper. Their prices are high, does their work attest to this? Thanks

My neighbor across the street paid $1400 to have his pair of exterior doors stripped. After the paint was off the door showed some pretty serious (but repairable) damage. However the contractor wanted another two grand for that so he tossed the doors and got new ones.
Stripping a door ain’t brain surgery. Anyone can do it in a weekend with the proper tools, a work area and a good stripper.
I wrote a blog article, with pics, about striping an old door here: http://www.brooklynrowhouse.com/node/96

We’ve used John Salem to refinish a stairway in our apartment and were happy with the results.
