Refurbishment of our main door

After more than 3 years of exposure to strong sunshine and rain, our main door looked faded and the laminates at the corners of the door were starting to peel.
We called Jonas from Contat Decor and Transportation who had built our customised main door for us three years back once again to request his service to refurbish our
main door. As usual, he was prompt and helpful with advice and we made an appointment for his guys to come down to do the door refurbishment.

The whole process took about 3 hours. The door was taken off it's hinges first and then work was done on removing the old laminate around the door edges and replacing them with a new cut of laminate. After the laminate was pasted and glue dried, the door was reattached back and then sanding was done to smoothen the door surface. Then a few coats of varnish were applied as a protectant sealant for the door laminate and our door was as good as new again. The whole service cost $160.50 nett.
