Our front door exterior looked sun beaten and washed out in most places. It has a solid wood core and mahogany veneers. The veneers were starting to bow out and warp. It was also splitting up the back on the interior, and the wood was starting to break out of the core of the door on the bottom. So, we called in some help from Radiance Refinishing.
The door was taken down, all of the hardware removed, sanded and stripped down, repaired, conditioned, and oiled. The threshold was refinished with a hard lacquer. We are doing the final steps of applying 2-3 additional coats of oil over the next several days and reinstalling the knocker.
We forgot to take a before picture, but here it is after one oil coat. It is just starting to take on a sheen again, and will be nice and shiny after all the oil is applied.
The cost was extremely reasonable in comparison to a replacement, which would run ~$3,000 for a custom door of similar materials.
