In this video, Ask This Old House general contractor, Tom Silva, helps two homeowners meticulously restore their original, 1918 front door using paint stripper, mahogany veneer, polyurethane finish, and a polyurethane finish.
SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.
Tom Silva restores an antique door that is believed to be original to a 1918 home. The door has charm but it is fading from the sun, chipping from the original veneer over the door, and has lots of issues with the current door hardware. The homeowners wanted to sand it down and refinish on their own, but they were afraid that they would ruin the intricate detail in the moulding.
Tom warns that working on doors like theirs can be a ton of work. The beading detail alone will take a long time to strip down properly. Also, making the proper adjustments to the hardware-especially if they opt to replace it-can be both expensive and time-consuming. On top of that, applying a finish also takes a while. Still, the homeowners decide to forward with the project, and they get to work.

Where to find it?
To restore the original 1918 front door, Tom used a variety of tools and techniques:
To strip the trim detail of its old finish, Tom applied paint & varnish stripper [amzn.to/3xPhYKM] by Max Strip [maxstrip.com/]. The stripper is eco-friendly and low VOC, which makes it safer to use indoors than a traditional paint stripper. The brass scrub brushes used to actually remove the finish can be found at any home center.
To repair the door and smooth out imperfections, Tom applied a few coats of Bondo Wood Filler [amzn.to/2PTj2w7], which is manufactured by 3M [www.3m.com/]. He then sanded the door smooth using a random orbital sander ETS EC 150/5 EQ-Plus [bit.ly/3b4Kyhu], which is manufactured by Festool [www.festoolusa.com/].
To resurface the door, Tom applied a sheet of khaya mahogany peel-and-stick veneer from Boulter Plywood [www.boulterplywood.com/]. The veneer can be cut with a utility knife and applied evenly using a roller, which can be found at any home center.
Tom replaced the old hardware with a full mortise Harrison entryset [bit.ly/3ui3dOp] with a Providence knob in an oil-rubbed bronze finish, which was provided by Emtek [emtek.com/]. The tools required to replace the hardware, including the screwdriver and chisel, can be found at home centers.

I so much wanted to do the door but I wanted to take it back to my garage and do the job. I help search the Kansas City area for someone who would do the job. Last I heard was the lowest price to do the door was $3000. I thought at the time one could build a new door for less and still look great.

I am restoring a 120 year old solid oak door with no vaneer. It had Watco golden oak oil in it for several years which failed to a black staining but fortunately cleaned up nicely with oxalic acid solution. Then many many hours of 220 grit sanding followed by a first coat of %20/%80 mineral spirits and Helmans Spar varnish. It did not run with controlled delicate brushing. Next is 220 grit sanding and a 2nd coat of same. Then sand and final with %100 full coat

@Poetessa2 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! I'm staring at my 100 year old front door that desperately needs to be be stripped, repaired and re-varnished along with the rounded moulding and I'm terrified! The moulding had 100 years and nearly the same number of coats of paint but it's right down to the bare wood but someone.... left the painter's tape on the door too long and it took off the varnish around the perimeter of the door, so glad it wasn't me!! lol I nearly cried! I was never intending to do the actual door but now I have to and it really does need a face-lift!! Knowing that it might be veneer I'm even more terrified to sand it!! And some of the pieces are beginning to warp and buckle. And I have NO idea how I'm going to match the bare soft wood of the moulding ...I think it's maple and what appears to be ...Oak but now I'm thinking it could be a fancier veneer. I've never seen oak that has that kind of detail. I tried sanding it by hand because I'm terrified to let the heavy handed man of the house go near it with an electric sander!! He was really hard on the moulding and damaged it much to my chagrin!! But it would take me another century to sand it by hand!! lol I guess I'll just take a deep breath and hope for the best. If I survive this unscathed, next, I'm going to do faux limestone block around the doorway to emulate the exterior of the building and give it a more authentic castle look. I'm much more comfortable doing faux fini than woodwork! Thanks for the reminder about lead, I had a mask on but never thought there was lead in the varnish and I was ripping away the old calking, plaster and paint from around the door! Yuck! If anyone has any advise on how to re-create this beautiful dark finish... not one of the samples I've seen resembles it. It's somewhere between dark Walnut, Mahogany and Cherry..... but I'm not sure if the moulding will look the same being such a different kind of wood. It's so soft, I can dent it with my fingernail!! I really should have called in a professional, I feel sick!! But thanks for the tips!

Master workmanship. There is no other complex wood restoration at this level on the net. Other outlets would try and strip and refinish original door face w no veneer for an aesthetic excuse leading to other problems: uneven finish, traces of the old hardware patches, a loss of 1/16 of door face via heavy sanding, double or triple the hours, leaving that home with no door over many nights.

Few problems with this restoration: 1. The restoration could have been way better with having a mill duplicate the molding because the molding has no historical value or architectural value this would have been more proper for a truly refinished door. 2. This type of work is VERY expensive because of skill but more importantly TIME involved. Anytime a contractor has multiple days on a job (minimally a week for this one) then that equals lots of money. Tommy of course knew about this but only did what the customer wanted so that's ok.
