What moves the price on door painting
- 1Number of doorsA single door costs more per door than doing five at once because we set up the sprayer or brushes for the job.
- 2Current conditionChipped doors need filler and sanding. Doors in good condition just need a light scuff and paint.
- 3Door stylePanel doors have more surface area and detail than flat flush doors, so they take longer.
- 4Paint layersDoors with multiple old paint layers need more prep, sometimes stripping.
- 5Removal or in-placeRemoving doors to paint them horizontally gives a smoother finish but takes more time.
- 6Sheen choiceHigh-gloss doors need a perfectly smooth surface, which adds prep time.

Why Door Painting in Broadview Homes Is Not a Quick Roll Job
Broadview's older homes have doors that have been painted over many times with different finishes. Getting a smooth, non-sticky door that opens and closes properly takes prep and technique. Here's what fails when it's rushed.
- ✕Paint buildup on edgesToo many layers on the door edge make it stick to the frame. The door won't close properly.
- ✕Brush marks visibleDoors show every stroke unless the paint is sanded between coats. It looks rough and amateur.
- ✕Drips on the panelsPanel doors trap drips at the corners. They harden and ruin the finish.
- ✕Painting over dustDoors collect dust on the top edge. Painting over it traps the dust in the finish.
- ✕No primer on bare woodScraped or chipped areas need primer first. Paint straight onto bare wood dries darker.
- ✕Sticking hingesPaint on the hinge pins makes the door stiff to open and close.
What Comes With Every Door Painting Job
This is what we do on every Broadview door job. None of it is an extra we mention halfway through.

- ✓WalkthroughWe show you every door and fix anything you're not happy with.
Which Door Finish Belongs in Which Room
Doors take a lot of handling. Here's what we recommend for each room, and why it matters for durability and appearance.
| Finish | Where we use it | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Flat / matte | Rarely used on doors | It marks too easily and doesn't wipe clean |
| Eggshell | Low-traffic closet doors | Minimal sheen, still not very washable |
| Satin | Bedroom doors, living room doors | Wipes clean, hides minor flaws |
| Semi-gloss | All interior doors, bathroom doors | Cleans easily, resists moisture, very durable |
| High-gloss | Feature doors, design homes | Hardest finish, but needs perfect prep |
Semi-gloss is the standard we use on most Broadview doors. It's durable, wipes clean and looks consistent with traditional trim. See our colour consultation for more help.
