Help with restoring an old front door?
Maisie asks:
Yet another old house question! Any rec's for restoring an old wooden front door? We have a lovely craftsman style front door that I'm sure would cost an arm and a leg to replace, but it definitely needs a little tlc. Seems like a job that would require expertise, but not sure where to look...
As we've said before, there a bunch of old houses around here, so someone's surely to tackled this job before.
Got a suggestion for Maisie? Please share!

Call Historic Albany Foundation on Lexington Ave. We got a name of a window guy from them years ago. I suspect they have a large list of names of people who do restoration work like this.
