Will my new Chelmsford front door installation need a permit?

How often does a wood door in Chelmsford need to be refinished?

It all varies according to the door's contact with the weather and the kind of wood. A stained wood door has to be dealt with like a piece of furniture. When your door has been exposed to direct sunlight or precipitation, the finish has to be checked periodically for indications of fading and refinished as necessary. If your door is receiving a great deal of direct sun and precipitation, it's possible you have to refinish as frequently as 1-2 times a year. If your door gets no sun or rain, the finish should last years. We do propose wiping down your wood door with a furniture polish at least once per month to aid in maintaining the finish.
