If you want to give your wood garage door a new and fresh look, restaining it is a great option.

Here’s how I recommend doing it according to Azle Garage Door:

First, I prepare the garage door by removing any dirt, debris, or old stain using a power washer or sandpaper. I make sure that the garage door is completely dry before moving on to the next step.

Then, I choose a high-quality exterior wood stain in the color and finish that I prefer. It’s important to consider the climate in my area and choose a stain that is appropriate for the weather conditions.

Next, I apply the stain to the garage door using a paintbrush or roller in long, even strokes. I make sure to cover the entire surface of the door and apply the stain evenly. If I want a darker color, I apply a second coat once the first coat has dried.

After applying the stain, I wipe off any excess stain using a clean cloth. This prevents the stain from drying unevenly and creating blotches.

Then, I allow the stain to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This may take several hours or even a few days depending on the type of stain and the climate conditions.

Once the stain is dry, I apply a sealant to protect the garage door from moisture and UV rays. I choose a sealant that is appropriate for the type of stain I used and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application.

Finally, I add any finishing touches such as new hardware or decorative accents to complete the new look of my garage door.

in conclusion, as per Azle Garage Door, restaining a wood garage door takes a bit of time and effort, but it’s worth it to achieve a beautifully restained garage door that enhances the overall appearance of my home. By following these steps, I can properly prepare the door, apply the stain evenly, wipe off excess stain, allow it to dry, apply a sealant, and add finishing touches.
