9. Who’s Painting/Staining Your Door?
Did you know that when you buy a door from a big box store that it
generally doesn’t come stained or painted? Most door
manufacturers ship unfinished doors, making applying the finish
the job of your installer or a subcontracted painting company.
With ProVia, custom entry doors are hand-stained or
professionally painted, right in our plant.

10. Who Paints, Stains Your Door Matters
Understanding who will be responsible for staining or painting your new
entry door is important as the finish will be one of the most noticeable
qualities of your door for a very long time.
Most door companies offer a 90-day to 1-year warranty on finish. At ProVia,
our professional stain and paint processes enable us to offer a 7- to 10-
year warranty, depending on the product. Learn more about ProVia’s
professional finishing processes.
