Cost of Paint Stripping

I just had my pocket doors done at Dip N Strip in NJ – they are 2.5′ x 7.5′ and I paid $175 per door. They came out AMAZING.

I’ve always stripped my own paint, so I don’t know what it would cost to have something stripped. I’m selling a mirror in as-is condition (that means with paint) but I did write in the listing that I would consider stripping. Now, of course someone has asked me how much that would be and I have no clue what to charge. Help.Please.Has anyone had someone else strip a mirror or similar for them? What does one pay for such a service? Even a door. Just need a ballpark and I’ll take it from there. Photo and measurements on listing: http://reclaimedhome.com/shop-2/?etsypro_product_id=207428383 Thanks in advance!

I’ve had average size doors stripped at a shop for around $350\. each. If you remove the mirror and drop it off at Degamba or Park Slope Stripper it could be less since it’s a basic frame and one side?

Thanks, Rick. At least I have something to go by now. If it’s not me stripping it, the buyer can take it anywhere they wish. I don’t want to upcharge the stripping if I can do it in the shop.

What happens if the “buyer” looks at it after its stripped and decides they don’t want it??

I’d be pissed off but then I’d re-list it as a restored piece for more $. They haven’t gotten back to me yet, so hopefully I’ll get out of stripping it. 😉

a mirror frame like that with glass in place would cost $250 to strip to bare wood; with glass removed about $125. most doors go for $225-250.
