Katy
Unshaded west-facing entries take the worst sun in the metro area. We build the finish for it.
Door Refinishing in Katy
Katy has the hardest conditions for a front door of anywhere we work, and it is down to how the subdivisions were laid out. Long straight streets, young trees, shallow porches — and a lot of homes whose entry faces west.
A west-facing door with no real porch cover takes direct sun from about two in the afternoon until sunset, through the hottest months of the year. We have seen builder-grade doors go from new to chalky in under three years on those elevations. That is not a defect, it is exposure.
On those doors we build up more coats and use a finish rated for high UV, and we are honest about the maintenance cycle: an exposed west entry in Katy needs a refresh coat sooner than a shaded one. Refreshing before it fails is cheap. Rebuilding a rotten bottom rail is not.
