Doors, casing, and cut lines
Doors and trim painted so the lines stay sharp.
Door and trim work is where preparation shows. A recent exterior door was lightly hand-sanded with 150 grit before finish, and interior doors have been painted in Urbane Bronze against light walls.
Trim is a prep job that happens to end in paint.
Customers mention neat painting and clean lines. That starts with sanding, cleaning, and cutting a straight edge where the trim meets the wall. A door that is only rolled and left will telegraph every bump.
Interior door sets and a single exterior entry door can both be scoped. Say how many doors, whether the frames are included, and whether the color changes.
Match the door color to the room, then protect the hardware.
On a finished interior, walls in Sherwin-Williams Greek Villa were paired with doors in Urbane Bronze. If you want that kind of contrast, say so up front so the sheen and the color can be confirmed before the first door is started.
Mention whether hardware stays on, whether the door can come off the hinges, and whether anyone needs the entry in use the same day.

FAQ
Doors and Trim questions before the estimate
Can you paint just the doors?
Yes. Send the number of doors, interior or exterior, and whether the frames and casing should change color too.
What does preparation look like on a door?
A recent exterior door was lightly hand-sanded with 150 grit before it was finished. The right prep depends on the existing coating and is confirmed on site.
