About This Project

The Entrance Restoration Custom Storm Door project, completed in Kernersville, NC, showcases an impressive transformation of an oak entry system that had suffered significant UV damage to its finish. The client desired not only to restore the original beauty of their entryway but also to enhance its functionality by installing an eight-foot storm and screen do. This project began in 2016, with a budget ranging between $1,000 and $2,500, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship involved. To initiate the restoration, the existing finish on the oak entry was meticulously stripped away to reveal the wood's natural grain and character. The team employed an architectural dye to stain the wood, achieving a rich, vibrant color that rejuvenated the entryway's aesthetic appeal. Once the staining process was completed, a marine quality spar varnish was applied to seal and protect the wood from future UV damage and environmental wear. This choice of sealant not only ensures durability but also enhances the visual depth of the wood, making the entrance truly stand out. In addition to restoring the entry system, the project included the custom order and fabrication of an eight-foot storm do. This required the creation of a tailored jamb system and threshold to accommodate the new door's dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless integration with the existing structure. The storm door not only adds an additional layer of protection against the elements but also allows for ventilation and natural light when needed. The outcome of this restoration project is a strikingly beautiful and functional entryway that enhances the overall appeal of the home. The combination of high-quality materials, skilled craftsmanship, and thoughtful design choices has resulted in a transformation that not only meets but exceeds the client's expectations. This entrance restoration custom storm door serves as a testament to the potential of revitalizing traditional architectural elements while ensuring they remain practical for modern living.
