Garage door painted properly with cleaning, rust treatment, primer, and quality exterior paint. Protects the door from weather damage and gives your house an instant kerb appeal boost.
First Impression of Your Property
Your garage door is probably the largest single surface on the front of your house. When it looks tatty, the whole property looks tired. Fresh paint transforms it - and it's a fraction of the cost of a new door.
💡 Pro tip: Painting your garage door the same colour as your front door creates a cohesive, put-together look that really lifts your property's appearance.
Why Garage Doors Are Tricky to Paint
Here's what goes wrong with DIY garage door jobs: paint flaking off in months, visible brush marks, rust showing through, drips all down the panels.

|---|---|
| Rust properly treated and sealed | Paint straight over rust spots |
| Thoroughly cleaned and degreased | Quick wipe, oil and dirt still there |
| Quality exterior-grade paint system | Leftover interior paint from the hallway |
| Multiple thin coats, smooth finish | One thick coat, runs and sags |

What to Expect
Step 1: Clean & Assess
Everything gets cleaned properly - pressure washed if metal, scrubbed down if wood. I'll spot any damage, rust, or issues that need treating.
Step 2: Repair & Prime
Rust gets treated with converter, holes get filled, everything sanded smooth. Then proper primer goes on - metal primer for metal doors, wood primer for wooden ones.
Step 3: Paint & Finish
Two coats of quality exterior paint applied smoothly. No brush marks, no runs. The door needs to be left overnight between coats, so it's usually a two-visit job.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Weather watching:** Garage door painting needs two dry days in a row minimum. I'll be watching the forecast and will reschedule if rain's coming - better than paint that washes off. **Parking situation?** If I paint your door open and you need to park inside overnight, we'll work around it. Sometimes I can paint it in sections or we plan the timing so you can close it after work. **Old wooden door with rot?** I'll be honest if painting won't fix it - sometimes a rotten door needs replacing, not painting. But if it's just weathered and tired, painting extends its life for years.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garage door painting in Teignmouth
Can you paint metal garage doors or just wooden ones?
Both - but the prep is completely different. Metal doors need rust treatment and metal primer. Wooden doors need filling, sanding, and wood primer. I'll use the right products for whichever you've got.
How long will the paint last on a garage door?
With proper prep and quality exterior paint, you're looking at 5-7 years minimum before it needs redoing. The south-facing doors in full sun fade faster, but the paint protection lasts. I use proper outdoor paint, not interior stuff that'll peel off in a year.
Do you paint the garage door in place or take it off?
Almost always in place - it's a faff to remove them and not necessary. I'll paint it open or closed depending on the type. Up-and-over doors I paint open, sectional doors usually closed. I'll work around your ability to park inside if needed.
What about all the dirt and cobwebs and stuff?
That's all part of the prep - I clean everything thoroughly first, treat any rust, fill any dents or damage, sand it smooth. The painting is the easy bit - it's the prep work that makes it last.
Can you match it to my front door or windows?
Absolutely - bring me a paint code or a sample and I'll match it. Or I can advise on colours that work with your house. Matching your front door and garage door really ties a property together visually.
