The Biggest Curb Appeal Change for the Smallest Surface
Walk down almost any Michigan street and the garage doors are what you see first. A chalky, faded or scratched door drags down the whole house, even when the siding and trim look fine.
Replacing a garage door is expensive, and most doors are mechanically fine. What wore out is the finish. Steel doors chalk and fade in the sun and start to rust along the bottom panel where salt and slush sit all winter. Wood doors crack, peel and gray out.
Our garage door painting fixes the finish properly. We clean off chalk and grime, treat rust, sand and prime where needed, and coat the door with Rhino Shield. The flexible ceramic finish handles the dents, temperature swings and daily opening and closing that a garage door goes through.
We refinish front doors and other exterior doors the same way, so the whole front of your home matches.

Garage Door and Front Door Problems We Fix
Faded, Chalky Steel Doors
Factory finishes on steel garage doors oxidize and fade. We remove the chalk completely before priming and coating.
Rust Along the Bottom Panel
Road salt and standing slush cause rust at the bottom edge. It’s cleaned, treated and primed before the finish goes on.
Scratches and Scuffs
Bikes, cars and kids leave marks. A fresh coating covers years of wear.
Peeling Wood Garage Doors
Wood doors crack and peel with moisture. We scrape, sand and seal them before coating.
A Weathered Front Door
Front doors take direct sun and rain. A new color can change the whole look of your entry.

Garage Door Painting Cost in Michigan
Garage door and front door projects are priced per door, based on size, material and condition. They can be done on their own or added to a full-house coating, which typically runs about $13,000 to $18,000 for a home with around 2,000 square feet of wall area. We give you an exact quote after an estimate.
Refinishing a sound door usually costs a small fraction of a new garage door and installation. See our pricing page for more on long-term value.
