Small job. Big first impression.
This courtyard entry door had faded to a flat tan. It blended into the stucco around it.
We covered the ground, sanded the door smooth and painted it black. Now it anchors the whole entry.

Stage by stage
How it came together.
- 01
Covered first
Drop cloth down. Edges taped. Tools ready before we sand.

Drop cloth down, tools ready. - 02
Sanded smooth
Old paint sanded flat, so the new coat grips and lasts.
Every panel, top to bottom. Close-up: sanded smooth before any paint. - 03
Primed
Every surface gets primer before any color. Primer helps the black grip and go on even.
Primer before color. Every time.
