How Professionals Paint a Home’s Doors

Professionals usually have the best experience and tools necessary to accomplish any painting projects, this goes for anything in a home that requires painting from the humblest base board to the most eye-catching feature wall. In today’s blog we will be drilling down and looking at how professional painting companies paint a home’s doors.

The first step taken by professional painters is to clean, prep and prime the door for painting. This is the most important step towards getting a good finish when the project is completed. The door must be thoroughly cleaned in order to remove any grease or grime, as these can interfere with how well the primer and paint cling to the door. Cleaning is especially important if the door is in a high traffic area where it is more likely to get dirty. The door may also be sanded so that it can more easily absorb the paint or the primer, but that is determined on a case-by-case basis.

Next a high-quality primer made explicitly for doors is used to get the door ready for painting. Inside doors can be painted with a variety of paint types but exterior doors require tough paint in order to stand up to changing weather. Doors in high touch areas are usually painted with high gloss or semi-gloss paints as they stand up the best to repeated use. Color Choice is left to the property owner, but professional painters may have meaningful suggestions as to what paints may work best in the area. To apply the paint a combination of foam rollers and high-quality brushes are used in order to avoid lines though some companies may opt to use a paint sprayer. At least two coats of paint are applied to ensure an even looking surface and add extra layers of protection to the door.
