Trim & Door Painting in Frankfort

Entry door, trim and interior door painting in Frankfort

We paint the doors and woodwork in a house, inside and out: entry doors, interior doors, casing, base, crown, window trim and stair rails. Every piece is sanded, filled and caulked first, and any old oil-based finish gets a bonding primer before the enamel. Inside, doors come down and get painted flat when that gives the smoother result. Outside, the door stays on its hinges.

We work in Frankfort every week, getting there on Route 30, Route 45, LaGrange Road and I-80. The front door is the first thing anyone sees, and if yours has sidelights or a transom, most of the time goes into cutting paint against the glass and the narrow bars between panes. We scrape old paint off the glass edges, re-caulk where the seal at the glass has opened up, and keep paint off the weatherstripping so the door still closes tight. Exterior entry work happens on dry days above 50 degrees, so we plan it around the forecast.

How a Frankfort entry and trim job runs

We look at the entry door, the glass, the trim and the inside doors with you, then leave a free written estimate. It lists each surface, the prep and primer, the color and the coats, and it marks which work depends on the weather. Anything added once we start gets priced in writing for your approval before it is done. We book around the days we said, and we end with a walkthrough where you check the front door from the porch and the hall.
