Professional Exterior Door and Garage Door Painting


Exterior doors combine visual impact with demanding exposure. Sun, rain, condensation, weather stripping and regular handling can cause fading, peeling and sticking if the coating system is poorly planned.


Nexa Painting refinishes suitable metal, fibreglass and wood entry doors, garage doors, frames and related trim. We consider material, factory finish, sun exposure, colour and operating clearances before recommending a system.

What Our Exterior Door and Garage Door Painting Service Includes


  • Front, side and service doors
  • Single and sectional garage doors
  • Door frames, jambs and exterior casing
  • Cleaning, deglossing, sanding and localized repairs
  • Bonding or rust-inhibitive primer where required
  • Hardware masking or removal as specified

Coordinating Front Door and Garage Door Colours


Your front door can be a focal point while the garage door blends with the house. They do not need identical colours. Compare both with the siding, masonry, roof and trim to choose a combination that feels intentional.


Confirm that the coating and shade suit each door's material and manufacturer requirements before committing. One entry door also involves different work from a sectional garage door with windows and detailed panels. Nexa can review existing coating damage, access and protection during the estimate. Include frames, adjoining trim and the faces to be painted so the finished entrance looks complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a metal front door be painted?

Yes. Sound factory-finished and previously painted metal doors can usually be repainted after cleaning, sanding and suitable priming of bare areas.

Can a garage door be sprayed?

Many garage doors can be sprayed after careful masking. Wind, nearby vehicles, neighbouring property and the door profile affect whether spraying is appropriate.

Will a dark front-door colour fade?

All exterior colours weather, but intense or dark colours may show fading and heat stress sooner on highly exposed doors.

How do you prevent sticking?

We control coating thickness around edges, account for weather stripping and allow suitable drying before closing. Existing clearance problems may still need adjustment.

Do you remove the door?

Most exterior doors are painted in place to maintain security and weather protection. Removal may be considered for specific projects.

Can you paint over rust?

Loose rust must be removed and affected areas prepared and primed. Extensive corrosion may require repair or replacement rather than coating alone.
