New Life Refinishing has developed a coating system for doors that out performs traditional spar urethanes long thought to be the standard for door refinishing.

Our system delivers excellent and consistent results in restoration and ongoing maintenance.

New Life Refinishing has dedicated and highly trained door craftsmen that service doors daily.  A specialist with a highly developed system ensures better results than a 2nd or 3rd skill tradesperson with a box store coating.

Results like these don't come from a quick sand and gel stain application.  Our process involves chemically stripping down to raw wood.  A thorough sanding to bring back out the natural beauty of the door.  

Our coating system starts with an impregnator stain that is not just a colorant but a preservative of the wood from the inside out.  Our stain protects against mold, mildew and insects.

Our exterior coating is a waterbase system that offers more flexibility than spars allowing it to better resist cracking.  The coating is also microporous to allow interior moisture pressure to escape rather than lifting the coating from the surface.

After your initial restoration service we track your doors maintenance needs on our calendar.  You are not obligated to do maintenance recoats but we will inform you whe you enter the recommended maintenance timeframe.  We recommend maintenance coats every 2 years. Our coating can last longer than that but the idea is to keep your coating at peak performance rather than risking exposing the wood to elements that can lead to cracking and rot.

Does your door always require stripping?  No.  You do not have to wait until your finish completely breaks down and needs stripped.  We offer a no strip refinish that is similar to a maintenance recoat.  This entails cleaning, sanding, toning any color fade and a new clear coat.
