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.

Outside Doors Before

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

Overspray of stain/varnish after service performed.

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.

Troy and Emery came out and did a fantastic job on our front door! They were very courteous and professional. I highly recommend them! I don't think our door had ever been redone in 25 years and it looks brand new. They were very careful throughout the whole prI was and cleaned up everything as well. Thank you!!

They did a fantastic job in refurbishing the outside and refinishing the inside of our front door. They even straighten out the weather stripping on the door so the door will close better.

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.

Before

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.

After

Jordan and Kris did an amazing job!! Very professional, quick, and efficient. My door looks amazing!! Highly recommend!!

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. Julien (the owner) and Dominique are both polite, friendly and didn't mind me out there conversing with them while they worked. They arrived on time, only took 3 hours, and even put on the hardware I purchased. I'm proud of my front door and highly recommend them!

Before/After Pictures of Our Door

Miguel did an amazing job refinishing our front door! He was courteous, professional, efficient, and the prices were reasonable! Miguel provided recommendations based on our requests and was able to stain the door in a way that complimented the exterior of our home. We will definitely contact Sturdy Doors for any future refinishing jobs. Go with Sturdy Doors for all your refinishing needs, you will not be disappointed!

I've recently used their service. While I was skeptical about interior painting (as it's something…read moreI've never had done before), the finished job came out nicely and I appreciated their service. There was a miscommunication at the start of the project, but in the end, I left satisfied. Julio and his guys did a good job and I feel like my place has more life to it than it did before. For that, I am thankful. Fortunately, I did my own research when it came to the type of paint I felt I should get, where to get it, and approximately how much. Tips/pointers were provided by Julio which I feel were helpful to a newbie customer like me. Overall, I'm happy I chose to use these guys. Pros Courteous and prompt Reasonable pricing Communicative Honest & Helpful Quick and mostly efficient (completed in 1 day) Cons Ended up paying more for paint than what I needed Slight damage to furniture (this was compensated though) Would I recommend? Yes. Would I use again in the future? Yes.

Took me a while to post this review. I found them on Yelp hoping the reviews are legit. Some of…read morethem probably are. And as much as I would like to give them a good review, them being our last contractor before we finally moved back in our house (after 20 long months of being displaced after Hurricane Beryl), it has been stressful cleaning up after the mess these guys have done to our home. And to this day, we're still finding paint splatters on floors, appliances, furnitures, doors; unpainted areas; uneven paint; it never ends. If you own a home, and you have things inside your home, don't hire these guys. They don't respect your property. Shoe prints on top of our table cover, it's so bad we had to throw it away. We had just installed wood floors on our stairs and there's a lot of scruff marks a thick dirt that we had to scrub it clean. They painted over nails. Paint was dumped on our toilets and sinks, and on our lawn. A simple search confirms that these are ILLEGAL. They tried to deny it but then later admitted to it when confronted. We brought up a lot of these issues shortly after they "finished" and they did come to try to correct many of it. And for that, I give them credit for. But I'm still finding paint splatters on several items, to this day, as we're working our way towards fully settling back in our home. ADDITIONALLY: before they came, we had our home thoroughly and professionally cleaned twice by another contractor specializing on air quality. And those cleaners have video proof of their work so we have evidence of the condition of our home (cleanliness-wise) before these painters roughed it it. I'm truly disappointed and I don't recommend this company to anyone at all.

I am moving into an older property and got some new interior and exterior doorframes installed on both the front and back doors that needed to be painted ASAP. After a few leads going cold, and a lot of unprofessionalism, I stumbled across Project Pro and Robert is extremely professional, warm, and easy to talk to. He charges an hourly rate and gives you a pretty accurate window of when your project should be finished up front. Communication is great, Robert was always quick to answer or call back. He tries to save customers money any way he can, and he and his team take pride in their work and really want to hear and see that satisfaction come out of you before they call it a job well done. Just a very personable, efficient, and great small company that shows a sense of urgency and respects your time and money spent no matter how small or large the project, these guys are going to make sure you are taken care of and not ignored. I highly recommend Project Pro to anyone! Thanks again guys for the great service! Y'all are one of a kind!

You know how you wish you could find the ideal, affordable painter that will do a fabulous job? Then look no further than Martin of J & E Painting! I called three days before Christmas for an estimate with the expectation of having the exterior of the home painted but completed on my next visit to Texas. Christmas was just days away but it so needed to be sooner than later since the property is up for sale. It was easy to schedule an appointment and Martin was extremely professional, punctual and listened to my concerns, issues and went above and beyond to accomadate my time frame. I was trying to get home for Christmas and Martin surprised me and took on the job two days before Christmas. I never expected him to sacrifice his Christmas Holiday with his family to help me get home (to Indiana) but he did. I was so grateful to him! I had picked out the paint color, showed him the color sample and he picked up. First he power washed the exterior then filled all the small nail holes and problem areas. This took literally 8 hours and I was blown away at how thorough he was. I was so impressed with the pride shown in his work. The following day, Christmas Eve, he arrived with another man, to begin the painting. Everything was safely taped off, and he was so kind when I expressed my concern for leaving the deck the old color. He agreed to painting the deck the new color and proceeded to tape this area off for painting. It did impact the negotiated price but it was a fair price for the large area. He completed the job on Christmas Eve, the worksite was spotless when he left and the home had a beautiful new face lift. His work was impeccable!! The painters I had earlier estimates from had no plans of filling nail holes or repairing noticeable issues. Nor did I feel they cared about the quality of their work. This was not the case here. Do yourself the pleasure and save yourself the heartache by working with a true professional and schedule an estimate for your own painting project. I will definitely use J & E when I have another painting project.

I should have written this a while ago-- we had Next Door paint out the inside of the home we…read morebought. This included walls, ceilings, baseboards, doors and even refinishing the kitchen cabinets. They were so easy to work with-- from the quote to scheduling the work and following up for touch ups. It couldn't have been easier which was surprising given the size of the project. They are bonded and insured and have a supervisor who manages the whole project end to end. The painting of everything turned out really well. The best part though by far was the kitchen cabinets. They were a very light oak color; nice cabinets but a bit outdated in terms of color. The team removed the doors, took them offsite to sand them down and spray them. They turned out perfect-- I get compliments on them all the time. They also refinished a stair banister and fireplace mantel. Both were painted black so these were no small jobs. We had these painted white as well and they turned out beautifully. Their prices were fair, their work was great and the overall project management couldn't have been better. I highly recommend Next Door.
