How to fix a front door that has deteriorating
wood
3
Front doors crafted from wood serve as an
appealing entrance to your residence.
Nevertheless, owing to its natural composition,
wood is prone to decay caused by a variety of
factors. Moisture, microorganisms, neglect, and
poor ventilation can all contribute to the
deterioration of wood over time. In this segment,
we will provide instructions on addressing rot in
a front door to maintain its aesthetic appeal and
longevity.

ASSESS THE DAMAGE
Thoroughly examine the door to pinpoint any
sections of decayed wood. Rotted wood typically
feels soft and may exhibit a darker hue compared
to the surrounding timber. Additionally, any
crumbling sections indicate obvious signs of rot.
5
REMOVE THE ROTTEN WOOD
Utilizing a chisel or a tool of similar nature,
meticulously extract the deteriorated portion of
the door. It's advisable to extend the removal
slightly beyond the evident indications of decay
to guarantee a sturdy foundation for the repair
work.
6
TREAT WITH WOOD PRESERVER
Apply a wood preservative to the unaffected wood
that is exposed to prevent any future
deterioration caused by moisture.
7
FILL THE GAP
Fill the space created by removing the wood with
a suitable polyester-based wood filler. Choose a
wood-colored filler for a door with a natural
grain, while for a white door, select a white
filler. Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer regarding how to apply the filler
and the duration required for it to dry.
8
CLEAN, PRIME AND PAINT
Utilize a cloth slightly moistened to remove any
dust or dirt present. Employ a top-notch primer
on the fixed section, then coat it with a paint
or stain resistant to weather. Ensure the
longevity of your wooden door by inspecting it
frequently for any paint cracks. By employing the
aforementioned process, you can address
vulnerable spots before moisture intrusion
occurs. Adequate airflow surrounding the door is
also instrumental in deterring decay.
