Annual Door Maintenance Covington: Why Your Door Needs a Spa Day
By Brandon the Dude on June 1, 2025

You treat yourself, so why not your door? An annual varnish isn't just a luxury; it's essential protection against the harsh elements. Think of it as sunscreen for your woodwork in Covington and throughout the Northshore.
The Door Spa Day Experience
Just like your annual physical checkup, your door needs professional attention. Our annual maintenance program includes:
- Deep Cleaning: Remove dirt, mildew, and buildup
- Inspection: Check for damage, wear, and potential issues
- Varnish Refresh: Apply protective coating for the year ahead
- Hardware Maintenance: Lubricate hinges and adjust alignment
Why Covington Doors Need Extra TLC
Covington's unique position between Lake Pontchartrain and the Bogue Falaya River creates challenging conditions for exterior wood. High humidity, storm exposure, and temperature swings demand proactive care.
The Economics of Prevention
Annual maintenance costs a fraction of door replacement. Our clients who maintain their doors annually enjoy:
- 15-20 year door lifespans (vs. 5-7 years without maintenance)
- Maintained curb appeal and property value
- Energy efficiency from proper sealing
- Peace of mind during storm season
Scheduling Your Door's Spa Day
The best time for annual maintenance in Covington is late fall or early spring, before Louisiana's extreme summer conditions.
