Finishing Options
Most door companies apply a paint or poly finish before delivery, or you can save a few bucks by ordering the door unfinished and coating it yourself. Just be sure to seal all edges so that the wood doesn't wick up moisture.
Polyurethane
No other clear finish matches its durability and moisture resistance. Apply two coats of exterior-grade polyurethane to start. Sand and apply one fresh coat every two years to keep it looking fresh.

Paint
Because its opaque pigments block the sun's UV rays, an exterior-grade oil- or water-based paint is the longest-lasting and most-protective finish you can apply. Plus, it comes in eye-catching colors to improve your home's curb appeal. Sand and reapply every five to six years.Spar Varnish
This old-fashioned mix of UV-resistant oils and resin is more flexible and less plastic-y than polyurethane. Nothing matches the rich look it gives wood after eight or 10 coats. Sand and reapply two top coats once a year.Wood Entry Door Finishes
