Is $5,000 to refinish an 8 solid wood front door with sidelights a fair price?
Project Details
I have an 8 solid wood front door with wood-trimmed sidelights that is in desperate need of refinishing. I'm wondering if the cost to refinish is worth it, or if I should consider purchasing a new door. The sticker shock was intense after doing more research.
