I just received a quote of $900 to strip, stain and apply marine varnish to our front door and door frame. This is a single door on a rental property in the Slope. Anyone have any feedback on what others have spent for this type of job and recommendations for contractors to do this?

What types of long lasting finished are people using that are low maintenance?

  1. That’s $100 more than I paid for the same thing a year ago. Can look up the name if you want.

  2. Estimate seems high unless the door is extremely elaborate. OTOH stripping and staining are very time consuming tasks.

  3. Marine varnish is definitely the best for weather protection.

    From the thread below: “I’d like to recommend my contractor” I too can attest to this guy’s work in striping and refinishing if you want a second estimate.
