Many houses in Coral Gables, and around Miami are of Spanish colonial style from the 1920s. Depending on the direction the door faces, it will be more weathered and bleached by the sun and the elements. Storms, particularly tropical storms or hurricanes, can significantly increase the damage. It's said that a storm can age the exterior of a house, including the front door, by five years. Therefore, maintaining and refinishing the door every year is a must, especially if you want to preserve its look and avoid further damage

Steps to Restore a Water-Damaged Antique Front Door:

1. Dusting:

 Begin by dusting the door with a brush in all directions, trying to remove any dust or debris.

2. Cleaning and Degreasing:

 Clean and degrease the surface with alcohol. Dampen a rag slightly with water and alcohol, then rub and clean the door, especially where stains are present, such as handles and frequently touched areas. Be sure to remove any grease left on the hinges.

3. Sanding:

 Sand the door thoroughly with 200-grit sandpaper for wood.

4. Dusting Again:

 Dust the door well once again, removing all dust, and then wipe it with the alcohol rag one more time. Let it dry completely.

5. Taping and Covering:

 Apply tape and cover all hinges, screws, and handles. This will allow you to work without worrying about cleanup later.

6. Identifying the Color: 

Identify the exact color of the door to ensure you get the right tonality for refinishing.

7. Touch-Up:

 If the damaged areas won't absorb the stain, mix the desired pigment with a bit of varnish and touch up the damaged spots first. Let it dry.

8. Applying Tinted Varnish:

 Apply a slightly tinted varnish of the same color as the door over the entire surface to unify the texture and make it even. Allow it to dry for at least two days.

9. Final Clear Coat:

 After two days (or even two weeks), lightly sand the surface carefully, then apply a clear coat of varnish to ensure durability.

This process will generally protect your door for many years. However, a front door facing south, especially one without a protective overhang, will require a coat of varnish every 2 years to prevent further damage.
