    Repainted metal door and frame. Looks like new and reinstalled perfectly!
    Lauren Y.

    Sturdy doors did an amazing job again! I was really happy with their work restaining my wood front door so I used them again. I requested a quote to refinish my metal exterior door that had some rust on it. The quote was reasonable and Jesse came out and did the work promptly. My door looks brand new! I really appreciate that Jesse also covered the doorway with plastic so my A/C wasn't affected while the work was being done. Jesse also gave me some good advice about keeping rust off it in the future which I greatly appreciated. I'll definitely be using Sturdy Doors again for my door needs.

    Rob and team did a great job! They came in, explained everything and got to work. Finished in a few hours and final product looked beautiful!

    Exterior before work

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!. I took the bait in a mailer and scheduled them to refinish my double entry way doors. Pictures were sent and instructions given to match the inside of the doors and finish with a high gloss appearance. They took the job without mentioning that they did not think they could accurately match the color on the inside of the door. Additionally, they did not give my wife the opportunity to pick which color she thought was best (as indicated on their website) but was only asked if the color the technician chose would work. What was she supposed to say? In the end, the technician rushed the job to complete all sanding prep, staining, and final weather protection on 2 doors in 2.5 hours. This is not possible. Needed 100 grit, 150 grit, then 220 grit to prep. Then each coat of stain/urethane should have taken an hour each to dry but somehow this guy got it all done in 2.5 hours. In the end, my doors are ruined orange, the beautiful wood character is muted like it was painted and I either have to redo/fix it myself or find another vendor. During a lengthy discussion with them about the matter, at not time have they apologized that we are unhappy nor have they suggested any options for fixing it. This is 100% unacceptable. This work was done in San Antonio TX

    Their service is second to none folks. I mean seriously- the ease in setting up the appointment, the carpenter arriving earlier than expected, his being very professional in explaining all facets of the job and the finish product: we are extremely satisfied! He made us aware of the accessories on the door and how he removed, cleaned up and reapplied them was reassuring in case I decided to take on this project years down the road (not!). You can't beat the cost of this type of job at all - what was quoted is exactly what was charged. I recommend them highly as we barely heard from the 2 other firms we reached out to for service - Sturdy Doors responded quickly (same hour I reached out to them on a Saturday). Can't even beat this type of service which almost seems extinct nowadays.

    Jesse refinished and stained our front door and repainted our back door, installed new hardware and weatherstripping for a very reasonable price. He did an excellent job. He revived our front door that hadn't been refinished in 28 years. Hire them!

    Pre- refinishing front door

    It's exactly like having a new door! Quick response in scheduling an appointment. On time with Jesse Shaffer, who refinished my front door. Cast iron grill looks amazing too. Efficient, attention to detail, on task for 3 hours - this was Jesse. Aftercare recommendations for my door. I am thoroughly pleased with the pricing and Jesse's fantastic hard work.

    Wood is very dry due to natural elements.
    Jezdel T.

    I love my new, refinished door! The guys who came out here worked inside my garage because it was a cloudy day. When I checked on them, I couldn't believe my eyes, the wood on the door was so smooth and light (compared to dry and aged). The color that I choose was really nice too. They also installed a new set of doorhandles that I purchased from Lowe's. These guys saved me a couple of hundreds of dollars. I will used them again for my garage door in a couple of months. I was very, very impressed with the finished product and highly recommend them.

    Before refinishing faded and ugly.

    I found Sturdy Doors via an add in our community magazine. I looked them up on Yelp and saw lots of great reviews so scheduled an appointment. We had a bunch of back-n-forth with the schedule because they are short-handed, but they notified me early and checked if it was alright before changing. The refinisher and his helper arrived at 9:30am and were finished around 11:30am. They showed us their work early on and offered to leave the stain lighter or go deeper with a clearcoat protection. We opted for the latter and are super happy with the results. They were very friendly and cleaned up everything perfectly. I recommend them if you need to add some life to your door for a very reasonable price. I'll be happy if it lasts 2-3 years; with the clearcoat, they will come back within 2 years for any touchups needed for free. What an improvement in our door and our entry way looks lovely again.

    I had my front double doors stained by Sturdy doors specialist, named Rob. He sounded very knowledgeable, talked quiet a bit and seemed like he knew what he was doing. About 7 months later on the exterior side of the door, I began noticing some mild chipping of the stain. Gradually over just 1 year, the entire exterior of the doors appeared cracked and chipped. I called the company and was told that there is nothing they can do since it's been a year. And I would have to make another full payment in order for them to fix this mess. I thought it was really unfair and an unprofessional of them. I called another company to restrain the doors. Come to find out, Rob didn't even sand down the original laqure before staining them. How can a so-called specialist stain the door on top of an old laqure rather than sanding it down first and then placing the stain on freshly sanded wood? Very poor service, lousy company, they will lie to you to get your business. Would not recommend this company to anyone!!!

    From Mess...
    Wendy D.

    Great job, Tyler and Bryan!! I had tried so hard to do it myself and made such a mess. It took them 5 hours getting through 30 years of sun-baked layers polyurethane to the bare wood, then matching the color perfectly and VOILA!! Thanks, guys. I'll definitely recommend you to others.

    I recently hired Austin Professional Painters for a pretty large project: we had remodeled our…read morekitchen and had installed new shiplap, headboard, and chair rail throughout the main areas of our downstairs. The cabinets and walls needed a total refresh of paint, and all that new woodwork had tons of caulking/filling/sanding/priming etc to do. Then we needed new crown molding added to our half bath, and there were several sheetrock patches plus some ceiling cracks which needed good prepping and feathering in. Also, our front and back doors needed to be repainted. So - a lot of work! And I am picky about quality. I chose Austin Professional Painting because they seemed well organized, well qualified, and ready to go at a scale of enough workers that we could get back to living in the downstairs of our house in a reasonable amount of time. Their comfort with good quality paint was also a key factor in my choice. So: the guys who came out to do the work, Carlos and Ivan - plus another couple of guys on certain days, were very nice, polite, and extremely hard working. They did a very good job and I am satisfied with the work. I would hire Austin Professional Painters again (and probably will this fall when we get around to renewing the master bath), and I definitely recommend them. I'll have to update this review with photos soon, I just need to take a bunch of them.

Not only did they give us the most competitive price, John and his crew were very professional and did an awesome job. They painted the whole house including the trim and front door in about 4 days. They also used top quality paint (Sherwin Williams Emerald) so the paint should be looking good for many years. This was by far my best experience with a painting company so I highly recommend APP and will be using them for any future painting work.

Although…read morewe weren't ready to kick off the project just yet, their reasonable quote and stellar reputation in the Austin area kept them at the top of my list. Fast forward to March 2026: as we began preparing for broader home renovations, we reconnected with them for an updated whole-house quote. After hiring a handyman to take care of minor repairs around the house, we were finally ready to paint by May. Because 21st Century is so popular with local school districts and commercial clients, their summer schedule fills up fast. However, they promised they could start our project in August during the first week of school, and they delivered right on schedule. Throughout the planning phase, they were incredibly responsive to all my questions and accommodating whenever I needed to update our project scope. When work began, the execution was incredible. They initially estimated the job would take between a week and a half to two weeks. For our nearly 3,200 sq. ft. home, we stayed at a nearby Airbnb expecting a longer process, but their team was so efficient they started on Monday and wrapped up completely by Saturday! The quality of work was outstanding, and their customer service is truly top-notch. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, I was amazed when I did my initial walkthrough. There were only a few minor spots that needed touch-ups; everything else looked flawless. The owner, Gary, and project manager, Mike, maintained excellent communication and knew the exact status of the project at all times. The crew was courteous, respectful of our belongings, and made sure the house was securely locked up every day. During the final walkthrough, Gary personally ensured I was 100% satisfied and had the team address the few touch-up spots right on the spot. They were so appreciative of our flexibility with scheduling that they even brought a box of donuts to the final walkthrough! Our home literally feels brand new now, and we are so excited to enjoy it for years to come. I will definitely be hiring 21st Century for any future painting needs.

    We had been preparing for a couple of years to have our house painted. Based upon information…read moregathered via informal conversations with friends and colleagues, we were expecting that a thorough, professional exterior paint job for our 2600 square feet home (plus 2 car garage) would likely yield a hefty price tag. So, we developed an informal prospectus based on this assumption. Sometime later, we happened upon a poster advertising That 1 Painter, a licensed and bonded enterprise based in the Treasure Valley. Their reviews were strongly favorable and more so noteworthy was that T1P had been voted Best of Idaho twice (among many other plaudits)! So, when we were ready we contacted them with the intention that they would provide us with our first estimate. We were visited by Ruth Brinton, a professional house painter and owner of T1P. She presented well with confidence and comprehension. She looked at many things that we would have likely overlooked. She made many observations and shared her thoughts with us. She also looked at the property and made recommendations regarding colors to not only enhance the house, but also to optimize the use of colors that would give balance and compliment to the property on the whole. The next day, we received the detailed estimate for the job. We were stunned to learn that T1P would do the job for well below our most auspicious estimates! All the information we had gathered convinced us that we did not have need to solicit another estimate. Within a month's time (from initial contact) our house was very nicely and professionally cleaned, prepped and painted. The crew performing the work were polite, friendly and professional. Clearly, the team at T1P are committed to customer service and satisfaction. We offer a solid 5-star review and our full endorsement.
