After 4 years, my iron entry doors have started to crack/peel. Anyone have a recommendation for someone who can restore back to original finish? I’ve googled and can’t seem to find anything.
Thanks.

They are extremely heavy. Took a few people to put on. I’d like to go back with the same type of rubbed bronze finish. Not sure if that can be achieved via powder coating, although powder coating would probably last. I may look into that.

I’ve wanted to go to iron to avoid having to refinish doors. Doesn’t sound promising

Which is the exact reason we went iron. Guess we were wrong, lol
My neighbors started to peel around 4 yr mark as well.

Our iron posts on our balcony are powder coated and they have started to rust after 6 yrs. I called another iron guy and he tild me if it's steel/iron and it's outside, it is going to rust/peel eventually, there's nothing that can stop it

we used Doors of Elegance. Was not cheap but holding well at 2 years when we sold the house. They did a good job as recreating the rubbed finish. I want to say around $1500

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
Did they do it on-site or bring to their shop?
