installing new entry double doors

17 years ago

Hi,

I have ordered some double entry doors and we are now pondering whether to have the doors painted before or after the install (the painter stated it would be easier for him to pain vs painting them while installed (he will be spraying them). Do you all recommend spraying the entry doors (black color)????

My thinking is that the doors can be scratched during the install process which would need to be retouched etc...not a good picture. Can double entry doors be installed after being painted w/out being scratched? Please advise?

thanks in advance,

Of course they can be installed without scratching them. Who are you using, a handyman?

Even the most competent person can make mistakes, but like trim, it's easier to paint doors before they are installed. If there are any scratches, they can be touched up later.

Spray, assuming it's done correctly absolutely the best way to go. No brush or roller marks.

It shouldn't be too hard to install them without damage but even the best of us make mistakes. Let me ask you, what would you do if there was a scratch in the door the week after they were installed? Touch it up, right?
