Front Door and Shutter Painting in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Exterior Painting and Staining

Front Door and Shutter Painting

Bold, glossy front doors and crisp shutters painted for instant curb appeal, with durable weather-ready finishes.

A freshly painted front door is the smallest project with the biggest curb-appeal payoff. Red, navy, black, green and even soft blue doors say something about the home and the people in it, and a bright door against clean shutters can make a plain house feel inviting. Front doors take the harshest sun and the most touch, so a rushed coat of ordinary paint will not last. A good door finish uses careful prep, the right primer and a hard exterior enamel that holds its gloss and color in Tennessee weather.

We remove or mask hardware, strip or sand failing finishes, fill dings, prime and apply two to three coats of exterior enamel, brushed or sprayed for a smooth look. Shutters are removed when possible, cleaned, repaired and painted on both sides so they stay crisp. We can discuss color on the walkthrough with samples against your brick or siding. Stained wood doors can also be refinished, and we explain the maintenance needed for each finish.

Color choices

We use samples against your brick or siding in daylight so the door color works with the whole house.

Hard enamels

Exterior door enamels resist fading, scuffing and weather and hold their gloss for years.

Shutter care

Shutters are painted on both sides and the edges so they resist moisture and look finished.

Stain or paint

Wood doors can be repainted or refinished with a stain, and we explain the upkeep of each.

Questions

Front Door and Shutter Painting FAQ

What color should my front door be?

It depends on your siding and brick. Red, navy, black and deep green are classics. We bring samples.

Can you paint a fiberglass or metal door?

Yes, with the right primer and paint for those surfaces.

Do you paint shutters in place?

We prefer to remove them to paint both sides and edges, though in-place painting is possible.

How long before the door can be closed?

Usually within hours, but a few days of curing makes the finish hardest.

Can you refinish a stained wood door?

Yes. We strip or sand, restain and seal for lasting protection.
