Why Fine Paints of Europe is a Preferred Choice for Front Doors

Part of the fun or reward for me in painting houses is the refurbishing of doors, the front door in particualar is always in need of attention.

Front doors are a prominent exterior surface that receives frequent exposure to the elements, a beautiful and lasting finish on the front door of your home makes a pleasing statement about who you are. Many people consider the doors of Holland as the most beautiful and welcoming in the world. You can own the same exceptional look for your Minneapolis home’s front door!

Here are two recent door refinishing projects:

  1. A dark blue from the British Standard Collection on wood and metal (something) doors in excellent condition in gloss hollandlac.
  2. A bright blue to an old front door which was well-worn on both inside and outside surfaces and the frame. I’ve used satin hollandlac paint here. Getting the original set and handle to work and be secure is a challenge also. The metal storm door was refreshed in black satin and weather strips improved.
