When you think “curb appeal,” your front door immediately comes to mind. But a truly “finished” home exterior doesn’t stop there. What about the other doors on your property? Your garden gates, side doors, back doors, and garage doors are often the most overlooked and unprotected elements of your home.
These “forgotten” doors and gates are just as vulnerable to the “intense Texas sun” and “constant moisture” as your main entryway. Here’s how giving them a professional stain treatment can elevate your entire home.

A garden gate is an invitation into your backyard or private space. A gray, “weather-beaten” gate with “visible cracks or warping” feels uninviting. A professionally stained gate, on the other hand, complements your landscaping and makes the entire space feel intentional and well-maintained. More importantly, it provides “maximum protection” against moisture, which is critical for a structure “repel[ling] moss, [and] mold growth” in a garden setting.
A “garage door” can make up a huge portion of your home’s facade. If your garage door is “faded” or “peeling”, it can drag down the curb appeal of the entire property, no matter how beautiful your front door is. We are equipped to “refresh and protect” wooden, fiberglass, or iron garage doors. Staining it provides “crucial UV protection” and creates a cohesive, high-end look that ties your whole exterior together.
Your “exit or back doors” often lead to patios and decks, acting as the transition from your indoor to your outdoor living space. These doors often get heavy use and are just as exposed to the elements. Staining them prevents “warping” and “splitting” and makes your backyard feel like a true extension of your home. It’s a finishing touch that “makes cleaning and future maintenance easier,” too.
Yes! We are equipped to “refresh and protect” almost any exterior door. This includes “garage doors,” “garden gates,” “commercial doors,” and “exit or back doors”.
Yes. Our experienced technicians can refinish “wooden, fiberglass or iron doors”. We have the proper process and materials to restore these surfaces as well.
The core principle is the same. Our “hand-staining” technique works the stain into the grain for deep penetration. This is far superior to spraying, which just creates a thin layer on top of the wood or fiberglass, making it “prone to chipping and peeling again”.
Yes. “Proper preparation is the key”. Our “soft wash” process is perfect for removing “dirt, grime, [and] mildew” from wood before we apply the stain. This ensures the new stain penetrates properly and the mildew is treated.
The “intense Texas sun” is only one part of the problem. The other is “constant moisture intrusion” from our “humid” climate. Unprotected wood will “soak up rainwater and the thick humidity”, causing it to swell and shrink, which cracks the finish.
“For the best protection, yes”. Staining both sides “ensures the entire board is sealed from moisture”. If you only stain one side, the wood “can still absorb moisture from your neighbor’s side,” which “can increase the risk of the boards warping and twisting”.
