What to Know About Door Restoration

What Causes Door Damage?

Just like any other wooden surface, your door suffers damage. You wouldn’t continually place a wooden cutting board in the dishwasher and expect it to maintain its shape and quality. The same can be said of wooden doors.

While many newer doors may be made of more weather-resistant materials, any doors that are original to old homes may be more susceptible to mildew and mold which causes rot over time.

As your home suffers rain and snow, your door may be taking the brunt of the damage.

Restored or Replaced?

For a factory-grade, run of the mill door, you may find that your most prudent course of action is simply to replace a damaged door.

The same cannot be said for expertly crafted doors, particularly when they are original to an older home.

The intention with which doors have been created in the past is an architectural feature that cannot be matched. Just like it seems like a crime to cover up beautiful, original hardwood floors with carpet, swapping out your home’s original door does the craftsmanship a disservice.

In such a case, what your home needs is  restoration. Bring your doors back to their former glory with door restoration services from ELCO Painting.

Fall in Rhode Island is more than pumpkin patches and football weekends (to be clear, it is definitely mostly about that). But it’s also prime time for painting. The air is dry, the temperatures are steady, and the sun isn’t scorching your siding. It’s basically nature’s invitation to tackle projects you’ve been putting off. From exterior touch-ups to an interior refresh before the holidays, fall gives homeowners that rare combination of good weather and motivation, and that’s worth taking advantage of. Ready to grab a brush (or at least a plan) and get a few things checked off before the frost sets in? Consider this article your first line item. Why Fall Is Ideal for Painting in Rhode Island Autumn weather in New England offers something that painters love: stability. It’s not too hot, not too humid, and rarely too cold. Paint adheres better, dries evenly, and doesn’t blister under direct sunlight like it can in midsummer. Cooler temps also mean painters, whether you or a professional crew, can work longer without racing the clock or baking under a high sun. Add in fewer bugs, drier air, and reduced pollen, and you’ve got the recipe for beautiful finishes inside and out.
