Cedar Garage Door Staining in McKinney, TX

This project involved staining two barn-style garage doors on a residential property in McKinney, TX. Years of direct sun had left the wood dry, faded, and inconsistent in color from panel to panel — the kind of wear that makes an otherwise well-built door look neglected from the driveway.

Our crew started with a light power wash, taking about an hour to clean the surface and lift dust and buildup out of the wood grain without damaging the cross-bracing detail. Once dry, we hand-brushed a Classic Cedartone stain across both doors, taking roughly 2 hours to get even coverage into every board and around the diagonal bracing, where a sprayer tends to leave uneven buildup.

The finished result brought the doors back to a warm, consistent cedar tone that matches the home’s brick and stone accents, replacing a faded, uneven finish with one that reads as a deliberate architectural feature rather than an afterthought.
