Garage Door Repair and Fence Staining
Moore Park
Project Overview
Dan reached out to Home Painters Toronto for help with the exterior woodwork of his property in midtown Toronto. He had a new wall, fence, and gate that needed proper fence staining, plus a worn-out garage door frame with extensive wood damage. Dan had a vision in mind, but not the full picture, so he leaned on our team’s expertise to bring the final look together.
Garage Door Repair and Fence Staining
The Challenge
Dan wasn’t completely sure what kind of garage door frame design he wanted. He had some ideas but couldn’t quite describe the exact style. The frame also had heavy wood damage, requiring garage door repair and replacement before any painting could start. Matching the original design while keeping the new materials consistent in look and finish was key.
We also had to make sure the new stain on the fence and gate gave a uniform, attractive finish, without touching the neighbour’s side.
The Result
Home Painters Toronto helped Dan narrow down the design by researching similar garage door frames online. After agreeing on the right look, we sourced similar mouldings and had them professionally installed by our carpenter. Once repairs were done, everything was painted and stained with care.
The final result? A smooth, cohesive look that brought the garage door back to life and enhanced the property’s curb appeal. Dan was especially pleased with how closely we matched the moulding and how quickly the project was completed, just 2 to 3 man-days.
Scope of Work
Step 1: Prep and Protection
- Cleaned all exterior wood surfaces (new fence, gate, and garage door).
- Applied drop sheets to protect the surrounding areas.
- Taped off sections not to be stained, especially the neighbour’s side.
Step 2: Garage Door Repair
- Assessed the damaged garage door frame.
- Sourced similar mouldings after reviewing reference images with the client.
- Installed new mouldings using skilled carpentry.
- Sanded and prepped repaired surfaces for painting.
Step 3: Fence Staining and Painting
- Brushed on semi-transparent stain for consistent coverage.
- Focused on one side of the fence and both sides of the gate only (per client request).
- Painted newly installed mouldings to match the existing finish.
- Checked all areas for uniformity and clean lines.
BEFORE AND AFTER
Timeline & Outcome
This project was completed in just a couple of days, thanks to a focused team and clear planning. Despite initial uncertainties about the final look, we guided Dan through options until we landed on a result he loved.
His satisfaction was clear once the job was done, and the garage door transformation truly stood out, just what you’d hope for if you were looking for garage door repair near me.
