Can anyone reccomend a contractor stain a fibreglass door? I'll be purchasing the door and having it installed but the contractor installing it does not do the staining. I'm a bit nervous about doing it myself. I'm in Essex Country

Any good painting contractor can do it. It is getting a bit late in the season though. Generally, an oil based semi-transparent stain is used and that has to dry thoroughly before the door can be closed all the way or the water based finish coat applied. This late in the season the weather is not optimal for this. Discuss this with the contractor you select and not with the installer. If the installer won't stain the door it is because he lacks experience with stain and thus any opinion of his would be valueless.

The installer is actually through home depot it's not an independent contractor doing it. Thanks for the info though
