Doors That Look Clean and Finished

Interior and exterior door painting services in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

Doors take more contact than almost any other surface in your Cranberry, PA, Boardman, OH, and surrounding areas home, and worn paint shows up quickly around handles, edges, and frames. A fresh coat makes the door look intentional again and helps it hold up longer under daily use. K & A Painting Plus sands, primes, and paints doors and frames so the finish stays smooth and the color stays consistent, whether you are updating an entryway, refreshing interior doors, or repainting a garage entry.


The process starts with light sanding to remove old buildup and create a surface the new paint can grip. Frames get taped off, and doors are painted with a durable finish designed to resist scuffs and fingerprints. Exterior doors require coatings that stand up to weather in Cranberry, PA, Boardman, OH, and surrounding areas, where temperature swings and moisture can cause paint to peel or crack if the prep work is not thorough.


If your doors or frames need repainting, contact K & A Painting Plus to schedule an estimate and go over color, finish, and timing.

How door painting holds up over time

The crew removes hardware when possible, sands the surface to remove old gloss or rough spots, and applies primer if the door is bare wood or if you are making a significant color change. In Cranberry, PA, Boardman, OH, and surrounding areas, exterior doors often need extra attention around the bottom edge where moisture tends to collect and cause the finish to lift.


Once the work is done, you will see a door that looks smooth and uniform, with no visible brush strokes or drips. The color will be even across panels and edges, and the frame will have crisp lines where it meets the wall. The finish resists daily wear better than a quick roller job because the surface was prepared correctly and the right type of paint was used.


Garage entry doors and exterior doors take longer to dry between coats, especially in humid weather. The service includes painting both sides of the door if needed, but it does not cover repairs to damaged wood, warped frames, or hardware replacement.

Doors can be painted on the hinges or removed depending on the situation. Removing the door allows for cleaner work on both sides and around the edges.

Minor chips and dings are filled and sanded during prep. Larger damage or rotted wood should be repaired before painting to make sure the finish lasts.
