Mahogany Double Door Entry Restoration
This stunning mahogany double door entry was faded and weathered. We performed complete refinishing with premium marine varnish to restore the rich, deep grain and protect against Louisiana humidity.
Before
After
This magnificent mahogany double door entry graced a luxury Mandeville estate and represented the pinnacle of fine woodworking with solid Honduras mahogany construction, hand-carved rosette details, and traditional raised panel design that had welcomed guests for eighteen years before Louisiana's relentless climate took its toll.
The doors faced southeast exposure and had endured years of morning sun, afternoon thunderstorms, and the constant 70-90% humidity that challenges even the finest wood finishes.
The mahogany had faded from its original rich reddish-brown to a weathered gray, and the protective varnish had failed completely, leaving the premium wood vulnerable to moisture damage and insect infiltration.
The homeowner, who had invested significantly in these custom doors, wanted complete restoration that would showcase the mahogany's natural beauty while providing superior protection for decades to come.
Our luxury door restoration process began with comprehensive assessment of the mahogany's condition - fortunately, the quality construction and dense wood had prevented deep damage despite the finish failure.
The restoration required complete stripping using specialized techniques that preserve mahogany's natural oils and rich color potential while removing all traces of failed finish. Hand-carved details received individual attention using custom tools to reach every crevice without damaging the intricate work.
The refinishing process included mahogany-specific conditioning and multiple coats of specially formulated stain that enhances the wood's natural depth and richness. Our marine-grade varnish system provides maximum protection against Louisiana's challenging climate while maintaining the elegant appearance appropriate for a luxury entrance.
