The home’s exterior was looking tired and in need of a fresh, updated look, with the garage doors showing obvious wear and tear. Seeking to boost overall curb appeal, the homeowner wanted to restore and elevate the existing doors rather than replace them entirely.
The Weekend Carpenter gave the garage doors a complete custom restoration by removing all hardware and sending it out for a durable matte black powder coating. After thoroughly cleaning and sanding the wood surfaces, Richard applied three coats of color-matched stain—carefully sanding between each layer for a flawless finish—and reinstalled the refreshed hardware to create a striking, like-new focal point for the home.
