Hi Brownstoners! Our wood front doors are starting to show their age and need to be cleaned up and re-stained & varnished. Does anyone have any recommendations for this type of work? Thanks in advance.

What neighborhood are you in. The person who did a great job on my doors several years ago (and applies a new coat of marine varnish every couple of years) only works in PLG.
I’ve noticed that most doors in my neighborhood that are refinished get a new veneer. My doors were stripped, stained, and varnished, so they look like well maintained old doors, not new ones. That’s what I prefer.

I should add that when I started to strip my doors myself many years ago the original oak veneer looked so bad that I gave up and repainted them. I was wrong. I had a lot of experience refinishing furniture and interior woodwork , but these were beyond me. Someone who really knew what they were doing was able to do a great job.

Thanks, Bob, for this info. Good to know about the marine varnish needing refreshing every few years. I think ours needs redoing. Does marine varnish turn purple/whiteish?

It doesn’t change color that I can see on my dark doors, but it eventually looses its gloss. BTW I tried “Poly Spar” varnish once and it doesn’t hold up anywhere near as well as traditional spar/marine varnish.

cate, genuine marine spar varnish such as Epifanes, Pettit Captains or Flagship, or Interlux will not do that. the one that can turn white is McClosky’s Man O’War. water turns the mclosky and other lower end products white.
Do not bother with anything but the epifanes, pettit or interlux. do not use water base products. i tried them almost 10 years ago and they did nto last as long as the genuine products. do not buy product from the corner paint store or lowes or HD; these are gimmicks. and do not use lacquer.

op, i know a lot about this. i used to be a restoration contractor and have spent decades finishing wood. if you wish to send me photos of your doors i can take a look at them and advise on what you will need – stripping and refinishing or rebuild.
i also have the name of a wood stripper and refinisher whose name i can give out but i will not post it here until she gets some insurance and organizes herself as a business a little more. i am working with her and will coach her.
and, i have a lot of eastlake hinges and other door hardware that is for sale.

I had my brownstone double doors stripped and varnished last summer and I could not be more thrilled with the work. Not sure where you are located, but the gentleman I used is in Bed-Stuy. He is meticulous and spent a great deal of time and care with the doors. Every single one of my neighbors commented on the final product, and since then two have used him for their doors.
