Why Door Frame Painting in Broadview Homes Is Not a Quick Touch-Up
Broadview's older homes have door frames with layers of old paint, and the detail work around the edges takes patience. Getting a clean, straight line where the frame meets the wall is the hardest part. Here's what fails when it's rushed.
- ✕Paint on the wallRushing the frame edge leaves paint on the wall, which then needs repainting.
- ✕Brush marks visibleDoor frames show every stroke unless the paint is sanded between coats.
- ✕Drips on the floorPaint drips from the frame onto the floor, leaving spots that need cleaning.
- ✕Painting over dustFrames collect dust on the top edge. Painting over it traps the dust in the finish.
- ✕No primer on bare spotsScraped or chipped areas need primer first. Paint straight onto bare wood dries darker.
- ✕Sticking doorsPaint buildup on the frame edge makes the door stick when it closes.

Which Door Frame Finish Belongs in Which Room
Door frames should match the doors and trim in each room. Here's what we recommend, and why it matters for appearance and durability.
| Finish | Where we use it | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Flat / matte | Rarely used on frames | It marks too easily and doesn't wipe clean |
| Eggshell | Low-traffic closet frames | Minimal sheen, still not very washable |
| Satin | Bedroom frames, living room frames | Wipes clean, hides minor flaws |
| Semi-gloss | All interior frames, bathroom frames | Cleans easily, resists moisture, very durable |
| High-gloss | Feature frames, design homes | Hardest finish, but needs perfect prep |
Semi-gloss is the standard we use on most Broadview door frames. It matches the doors and trim for a consistent look. See our colour consultation for more help.
