• Precision finish removal and deep cleaning to properly prepare the surface.

• Wood bleaching and specialized treatments that reverse staining and damage caused by weather and age.

• Expert structural repairs, including scarf (dutchman’s) patches, epoxy filling, and wood hardening for rotted or compromised areas.

• Veneer repair and replacement to restore original detail and craftsmanship.

• Rebuilding worn components such as rails, stiles, panels, and decorative moldings.

• Installation of weather seals to improve energy efficiency and protection.

• Correcting door hanging issues for smooth operation.

• Custom staining and historically accurate finishing designed to last for decades.

• Hardware refurbishing and replacement to complete the restoration.

Even windows that are drafty, stuck, or in poor condition can be restored to their original elegance and function. Mordoor uses a holistic restoration process that combines structural repair with historical accuracy.

We restore historic and vintage wood windows of all types, including:

• Double-hung

• Casement

• Awning and hopper

• Transom

• Fixed sash

• Curved or stained glass

• Sidelights, bays, bows, and orioles

• Box head, Chicago, Diocletian, and clerestory windows

• One-of-a-kind custom designs

Our team carefully repairs and refinishes each window to ensure smooth operation, energy efficiency, and long-lasting beauty.

Finish Removal & Surface Prep
Proper finish removal is one of the most crucial steps in any restoration project. Our skilled craftsmen safely strip away old paint or varnish without damaging intricate details or leaving behind paint haze that can ruin the final finish.
Wood Repairs and Structural Restoration
Because wood is organic and workable, it can often be restored instead of replaced. We provide:

• Veneer repair and replacement

• Wood inlays to fill hinge mortises or other voids

• Scarf (dutchman’s) repairs to replace only the damaged portion of wood

• Epoxy repairs to harden soft areas and rebuild missing profiles

Custom Wood Coloring and Finishing
We specialize in historically accurate wood finishing, using techniques like fuming, custom stain blending, and decorative painted finishes (faux bois). Our team selects the right materials—such as shellac, tung oil, linseed oil, or wax—to achieve an authentic look and lasting durability.
Faux Finishing and Decorative Woodwork
Our artisans create realistic, hand-painted wood grain patterns, including veining, burl, curly grain, fiddleback, spalting, mineral streaks, and more. We can replicate the look of rare hardwoods such as oak, walnut, ebony, zebra wood, and manzanilla.
We also offer:

• Wood veneer wrapping for a seamless, high-end finish

• Veneer mending and replacement to restore damaged areas

These techniques allow us to create stunning results that elevate the character of your doors, windows, and architectural details—perfect for both preservation and design enhancement.
