I reached out to Julian via Yelp to have my mom's door refinished. Julian was very patient in communicating. There were a few times my schedule was a conflict, but we finally set a date. Friday, I received a text from David. He communicated with me that he was running a bit late and what his ETA would be. I appreciated the text message as I was coming from my own home and had to head over to my mother's house. David & Andrew arrived promptly as stated the time. David went through the process with me and asked me to choose the color stain (he also helped). He stated how long it was going to take them. The whole process was a smooth transaction. Andrew assisted David and helped him take the door down and cover the front door with plastic. I notice how closely they worked together and how very commutative they were to each other. They were the true meaning teamwork makes the dream work! I was very pleased with their work, but most importantly my mother was extremely excited about her brand-new refinished door! I highly recommend Sturdy Doors to anyone. If you are able to request certain employees, please request David & Andrew. Soft spoken, efficient work, and commutative. I will be using them in the future and recommend them if any asks. I cannot thank you enough, Julian, David & Andrew! read more

I'd like to give 5 stars but the person that came out (Jesse) needed to be a bit better around being courteous and more communicative on the work done Eg wasn't very friendly upon arrival no greeting and didn't recap the work done he just handed me the bill; I had to ask questions on some areas that looked like not dine properly Overall quality looked good read more

Troy and his partner (sorry can't remember his name) did a great job refinishing my 23 year old door. Looks like new.

After 17 years, our solid wooden door was worn and the finish was dull. The hardware was tarnished and barely working. We called Sturdy Doors on Monday and were scheduled for mid-day Friday. It was a few minutes before appoinment time when Will phoned to tell me he was on his way. He and assistant Jesse introduced themselves and promptly set to work. Within three hours, the Sturdy Doors two-man crew transformed the portal of our home from worn to welcoming. I woul recommend Sturdy Doors to anyone seeking to refurbish their doors. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!. I took the bait in a mailer and scheduled them to refinish my double entry way doors. Pictures were sent and instructions given to match the inside of the doors and finish with a high gloss appearance. They took the job without mentioning that they did not think they could accurately match the color on the inside of the door. Additionally, they did not give my wife the opportunity to pick which color she thought was best (as indicated on their website) but was only asked if the color the technician chose would work. What was she supposed to say? In the end, the technician rushed the job to complete all sanding prep, staining, and final weather protection on 2 doors in 2.5 hours. This is not possible. Needed 100 grit, 150 grit, then 220 grit to prep. Then each coat of stain/urethane should have taken an hour each to dry but somehow this guy got it all done in 2.5 hours. In the end, my doors are ruined orange, the beautiful wood character is muted like it was painted and I either have to redo/fix it myself or find another vendor. During a lengthy discussion with them about the matter, at not time have they apologized that we are unhappy nor have they suggested any options for fixing it. This is 100% unacceptable. This work was done in San Antonio TX read more

Larry with Sturdy Doors came out to provide a walnut stain/varnish service to our front double door on Feb 21, 2024. Doors look great, but there was significant overspray on to the adjacent white stucco wall when the stain/varnish was applied to the outside door trim all around the doors. I have not been able to remove the stain from the stucco. I contacted Sturdy Doors several times on this and they have refused to repair the damage by painting that part of the stucco wall arguing that the stain overspray was already there, and they are not responsible. However, pictures taken immediately before the work was performed showed there was no stain overspray on the stucco, but after the doors were stained/varnished, the stain/varnish is now there. I am now faced with the expense of repairing the damage myself that Sturdy Doors caused on this project. I would strongly warn against using Sturdy Doors as the finished quality of the project was poor, and their lack to effort to repair the damage caused by their service representative makes them an unreliable service provider.

Don't use this company! I used them last year and they gave me a higher price than listed in The Homemag price... the sales lady said it would take a more special technique and more product and skill to do my archway style door. After watching the whole process, I saw that it was a simple sand and re-stain, no new techniques, no extra product to use. I asked for a refund to the original pricing but they refused even though they could not explain what "special techniques " were used to charge the higher price. Don't use this company. They will lie to up charge the price. read more

Terrible service. they will not turn you down claiming other costumer reschedule their appointment, that's them rescheduling another confirmed costumer appointment as to NOT lose your business, then come to you and do a hasty job. read more

Too many additional fees/cost not stated until job is finished additional $50 to make the finish look like what was removed, additional $12 charged to use credit card, "chi Ching let the cash register ring". When contacted Sturdy Door there was no mention of additional cost, the ads didn't state additional fees/cost. I sent Sturdy Doors a pic of my door, Sturdy Doors quoted me a price, this was final cost to bring to original state, they stated no tax, final cost. Staff was great, company integrity bad. Don't recommend. read more

Reached out to this company via text, guy I spoke to asked for door pics, I sent them and was able to get an estimate over the phone, he sent me a link to set my appointment. Dell and his partner came out to our home this morning and not only refinished our door but also replaced the weather stripping that was preventing our door from closing smoothly. Fantastic job for a fair price, highly recommended these folks. Job took about 1.5 to 2 hrs. read more

Sturdy Doors Refinishing - Before and after of refinishing job - Door Sales/Installation Near Me - Houston, Texas

My door needed refinishing. I was going through neighborhood news magazines and several reviews for each company on line. I decided to call Sturdy Door for the appointment. They had to call me to reschedule because the worker's car was broken down on the road. They were very courteous and explained about the refinishing, then text me the time for me to confirm. The worker, Johnny called ahead and told me approximately the time would arrive to my home. He came earlier than the scheduled time. Removed my door carefully and set upstairs my front yard. They stripped the original paint very carefully and included each corners and finished several coats of finishing. My husband and I very please with their beautiful work. Since they had to replaced my bottom door seal, the total cost at the completion was$300. Yes, I definitely will call them again next time. read more

I called Sturdy doors when I saw a beautiful door they had refinished. They have the best prices around and don't push a maintenance program.

I live in Austin. Although Sturdy Doors is based in Houston, they also have employees that refinish doors in Austin. I had my front door refinished by Rob on April 1, 2022. He arrived early, was very professional and friendly, and explained all that he would be doing. The results were FANTASTIC. In a little over 2 hrs. he was completely through and the door looked like it did when brand new. I am 100% satisfied with the price, the process, and the outcome. Rob is the man!! read more

Despite a courteous and efficient 2-man door refinishing crew, (who we tipped well) we were very much disappointed for several reasons: - they were not equipped well to clean up their sawdust, repair their minor damage to our door, and clean their stain/dirty marks on our door frame/jamb. - stain did not match color or description told to us before work start. - they took our old door hardware (after replacing with new hardware we provided). - they also did not leave behind our new hardware literature and owner's guide (for digital operation, etc.) - displeasure reported to woman answering main phone after job completion, and request was made for owner to contact us about these issues. Three days later owner has not returned our hardware or literature and has not even contacted us. If this is representative of this company's work and customer service from their owner, our review could be even lower, and might warn against using them again read more

Julien was quick to respond to my inquiry and answered all of my questions. We scheduled an appointment. The crew from Sturdy Doors did a great job striping, sanding, staining and sealing our front door. The guys were polite and professional, worked hard and kept an eye on the details. I cleaned up the hardware while they worked (wish I had thought of that sooner). Totally glad that we had them out - highly recommend. read more

After having my front door refinished by Sturdy Doors the finish severely bubbled and peeled when painters used blue painters tape around the edges to keep from getting paint on the door- The tape was only on the door for minutes, not any length of time - The Sturdy Door owner said that it was the painters fault and that painters should have known that this would damage the varnish..... Actually the painters were dismayed that this occurred as it is their practice to always protect doors or any other surface from paint with this tape and have never experienced this issue - Varnish on the front door is intended to withstand the weather so having it damaged by tape intended to be gentle to painted and varnished surfaces leads me to believe that the door would not have withstood much of our Texas weather.... I tested the blue tape on many other varnished surfaces in my home and haven't found any that it damages varnished surfaces as claimed by the owner - It doesn't even damage indoor paint on my walls - The owner acted unprofessionally in blaming others and not taking any responsibility for his work - I would not use them again or recommend them read more

Julien did exactly as promised. My front door looks brand new again for which I am quite grateful. I live in Lago Vista, Texas and was hesitant due this being a Houston based business but found that his fairly new Austin based operation works just fine. I also added my name to his call back list for a simple phone call from them to check and see if I need any renewal so that my door doesn't get is as bad a shape as it was before! Great service idea for sure! As an aside, my door is West facing and gets an incredible amount of sun so it weathers and fades quite quickly and I was amazed at what they were able to do with it! read more

Mike & Luke did a GREAT job on our front door. Polite, efficient and didn't leave a mess for me to clean up. Give them a call!

The technicians worked really well and their work deserves a lot or respect and I do recommend them. However, when the technician left, they didn't install my door lock properly and I had to call in to ask them to reinstall the door lock. The front desk scheduled an appointment for me, while I waited during the appointment at home, the technician didn't show up. And this is the second time it happened with study doors for just one service! I don't mind rescheduling the appointment, but I really need them to call me in advance to let me know my appointment needs to be rescheduled rather than just standing me up again and again! read more

Sturdy Doors did a fantastic job on our front door. Julian was very skilled and a perfectionist. He removed all the metal from our front door and sidelight and painted all so that the metal looked brand new. Since our door is Alder, when stained it reflects the variations in the wood. Therefore, Julian had a challenge in matching the top with the bottom of door. I highly recommend Sturdy Doors and Julian. I think you will be very happy with your restdoor if you choose Sturdy Doors read more

Made an appointment on October 30 to have the front door refinished on Nov 22 @ 830am. The company confirmed the appointments by text two times, with the last being Nov 21. On Nov.22 the day of the appointment, at 7:17 am I get a text and voicemail from Allen that he has been having car trouble for a week and needs to reschedule the appointment for 12 noon on Thursday Nov 25 (Thanksgiving day). I understand things happen but if the car was giving you trouble for a week, why not get it fixed or have someone as back up. As per their cancellation policy, they want at least 23 hours from the customer to cancel an appointment or the customer is charged a $75 fee. My question is, what does the company do when they cancel less than 23 hours and the customer took the day off from work? The answer, reschedule the customer on Thanksgiving day. So I do not know if their door refinishing work is good or not, but their customer service and lack of consideration for customers gets them 1 star and a less than stellar review. By the way, I cancelled services altogether after that, I do not want to use them at all. read more

Showed up in masks very professional. Door went from looking rough to looking brand new. Actually better than new. Great company.

Excellent work and great customer service. They came back right away to address some issues and did a great job. Highly recommended!
