How to decide the scope
Start with the visible condition, the surface beneath it and the finish you want. Photos, dimensions and access details make the first scope more useful.
Before the finish
Peeling, swelling, rust or failed sealant should be addressed before a cosmetic repaint. Hardware and weatherstripping may affect access and protection.
What shapes the estimate
Door material, side lights, hardware, access, existing coating and the amount of preparation affect the scope.
Good questions.
Can you paint only the outside of the door?
Yes. The scope can be limited to one face, both faces or the frame depending on the finish and access.
Do I need to remove the hardware?
Hardware removal or masking should be discussed before work so the edges and final finish are clear.
