Door Painting in Charlotte, NC
Professional Interior & Exterior Door Painting Services
If your doors are scuffed, faded, chipped, or simply outdated, professional door painting is one of the most cost-effective ways to transform the look of your home or business. We provide expert door painting in Charlotte, NC, delivering smooth, durable finishes that look factory-new and hold up to everyday use.
Doors are touched, opened, slammed, leaned on, and exposed to weather more than almost any other surface in your home. That’s why painting a door properly requires special preparation, the right products, and professional technique—not just a brush and leftover wall paint.
Whether you need interior doors refreshed, a front door repainted, or multiple doors refinished as part of a remodel or home update, we handle the entire process cleanly, efficiently, and with attention to detail.
Why Door Painting Is Different From Wall Painting
Many homeowners assume doors can be painted the same way as walls. In reality, doors require a completely different approach.
Doors have:
High-touch surfaces
Oils from hands
Smooth materials that resist adhesion
Edges and profiles that show flaws easily
Hardware that must be protected or removed
Without proper prep, door paint commonly fails by:
Peeling or chipping
Sticking to the frame
Showing brush marks
Flashing uneven sheen
Wearing down quickly around handles
Professional door painting eliminates these issues by using correct sanding methods, bonding primers, and durable coatings designed specifically for doors.

Restore a clean, uniform appearance
Match updated wall colors or trim
Improve resale appeal
Eliminate visible wear and tear
Common Interior Door Types We Paint

Solid wood doors
MDF doors

Pocket doors
Interior door painting is often one of the highest ROI upgrades homeowners make because of how noticeable the improvement is.
Exterior & Front Door Painting
Your front door is one of the first things people see. Faded, peeling, or sun-damaged doors instantly hurt curb appeal.
Charlotte’s climate—humidity, rain, heat, and sun exposure—breaks down exterior finishes quickly when the wrong products are used.
We use exterior-grade primers and paints designed to:
Resist UV fading
Prevent moisture intrusion
Withstand temperature changes
Maintain color depth over time
Front door painting is a simple upgrade that dramatically improves first impressions.
Our Professional Door Painting Process
This is where professional work separates itself from DIY. We do not shortcut door prep.
Step 1: Evaluation & Planning
We inspect:
Door material
Existing paint condition
Hardware type
Surface damage
Best application method (brush, roll, spray)
Step 2: Hardware Protection or Removal
Handles, hinges, and locks are either removed or carefully masked
Drop cloths protect floors and surrounding areas
Step 3: Surface Preparation
Prep is the most important step and includes:
Deglossing glossy finishes
Sanding to promote adhesion
Repairing dents or chips
Cleaning oils and residue
Caulking gaps where needed
Step 4: Priming
Doors often require bonding or stain-blocking primers to prevent:
Tannin bleed
Flashing
Peeling
Primer selection depends on door material and existing finish.
Step 5: Professional Paint Application
We apply smooth, even coats using:
High-quality brushes
Fine rollers
Spraying when appropriate
We control temperature, drying time, and coat thickness to ensure durability.
Step 6: Curing & Reassembly
Doors are allowed to cure properly
Hardware is reinstalled
Doors are checked for sticking or rubbing
The result is a clean, durable, professional finish.
