Mirror-Gloss Doors: Instant Curb Appeal

Sept 23, 2025 • Metro Atlanta

Your front door is the first handshake your home offers. Our mirror-gloss finish gives it that boutique, piano-like sheen that turns heads from the curb—and keeps looking incredible season after season.

What makes our gloss different

  • High-build foundation: We level and prime to remove surface waviness so the gloss reflects clean and straight.
  • 2K urethane clear: The same class of coatings used on premium cabinetry and autos—deep gloss, tough film, great UV resistance.
  • Between-coat sanding: Ultra-fine sanding steps create that mirror-flat surface before the final coats go on.
  • Dust & edge control: Tight masking, filtered air movement, and careful edge work for crisp lines and a flawless face.

How the process works

  1. Consult & color pick: We review your door material and choose a statement color (jet black, deep navy, bold red, or custom).
  2. Door removal (optional): For the highest sheen, we remove the door and finish it in a controlled setup; rehanging is included.
  3. Prime & level: Repairs, high-build primer, and block-sanding remove minor texture so reflections look straight.
  4. Color & clear: Color coats followed by a 2K urethane clear for depth, gloss, and durability.
  5. Cure & rehang: We plan around weather windows for best results and provide simple aftercare.

Is your door a good candidate?

Most wood and metal doors are perfect candidates. Fiberglass works too with the right prep. Multi-panel and high-detail profiles can look stunning—the gloss exaggerates clean lines and hardware.
