How much does it cost to resurface hotel doors instead of replacing them?

Individual doors typically run $450 to $850 to wrap versus $800 to $1,900 to replace. At scale, a fixed written quote is provided per property after a walkthrough.

Can a multi-floor hotel renovation be completed on a fixed timeline?

Yes. The property is scoped in full, the schedule is phased around operational needs, and a written timeline per floor or block is provided before work begins.

Hospitality & Commercial · Southern California

Renovate the hotel. Keep it open.

Architectural film lets hotels, resorts and multifamily properties resurface guest-room doors, vanities, elevator cabs and corridor walls in place — without demolition, without ordering replacement FF&E, and without closing rooms. Work is phased floor by floor so the property stays in service throughout.

Why Hotels Choose Film Over Replacement

Renovate without shutting down.

Full FF&E replacement means ordering new doors, vanities and panels, demolition, and rooms sitting out of inventory for weeks. Architectural film resurfaces what's already there — in place, room by room — so the property keeps generating revenue while the renovation happens around it.

No Demolition

Doors, vanities and panels are wrapped in place. Nothing is torn out or hauled away.

Phase Floor by Floor

Work is scheduled a floor or a wing at a time, around occupancy and events.

Reduce Room Downtime

A guest room is typically back in inventory in a fraction of the time a full FF&E swap takes.

Consistent Finish, Every Door

The same film series applied across every room means no wood-grain or batch variation floor to floor.

Resurface Existing FF&E

Existing casework and doors are refinished instead of replaced — less waste, lower cost per key.

Fits Brand PIP Timelines

Faster turnaround per room helps properties hit brand-mandated renovation windows.

What We Resurface

Every touchpoint a guest sees.

From the elevator a guest steps into first to the vanity in their room, architectural film covers the surfaces that show wear fastest in a hospitality environment.

Guest-Room Doors

Entry, closet and connecting doors.

Bathroom Vanities

Vanity fronts, cabinet doors, panels.

Headboards & Wall Panels

Case goods and millwork behind the bed.

Elevator Cabs

Cab walls, door panels and reveals.

Corridor Wall Panels

High-traffic hallway surfaces & wainscot.

Reception & Lobby Desks

Front desk and back-of-house millwork.

Case Goods & Casework

Dressers, closets, built-in cabinetry.

Restaurant & Bar Surfaces

On-property F&B millwork and panels.

Wrap vs Replace, at Scale

The door math, scaled up.

On a single guest-room door, wrapping typically runs $450–$850 versus $800–$1,900 to replace — see the full breakdown on our door wrap page. That gap compounds fast once you're renovating a floor or a property at once.

Wrap the Doors

$22.5K–$42.5K

Illustrative example: 50 doors at $450–$850 each, in place

Replace the Doors

$40K–$95K

Illustrative example: 50 doors at $800–$1,900 each, plus install

This is an illustrative calculation using our published per-door pricing, not a quote for a specific completed project — actual figures depend on door count, condition, finish and site logistics. We provide a fixed, written number after walking the property.

Renovating in Phases

Floor by floor, without closing.

Hotel renovations are scheduled around occupancy, not the other way around. We typically work a floor, a wing, or a set of rooms at a time, often during off-peak hours or as rooms cycle out of inventory for routine maintenance.

Site walkthrough

We walk the property with your engineering or facilities team, confirm door counts, vanity styles and substrate condition floor by floor.

Finish selection & sample approval

Finish is selected and approved once, then applied identically across every room — no per-room variation to sign off on.

Phased installation

Rooms are worked in blocks so occupied floors and event spaces stay unaffected.

Walkthrough & sign-off

Each floor or block is inspected and signed off before moving to the next, so the property always knows exactly what's complete.

Brand Standards

Matching your finish program.

Bodaq® offers hundreds of wood-grain, matte, gloss, metallic and stone-look finishes, which makes it straightforward to match an existing brand-standard door or casework finish room to room, or to select a new finish as part of a broader renovation. We bring physical samples to the property before anything is ordered.

If your brand's Property Improvement Plan (PIP) specifies particular finish or fire-rating requirements, we review the relevant Bodaq® test documentation with you and your GC before work begins — see our fire & safety documentation for the underlying reports.

Yes — this is the core use case for architectural film in hospitality. Work is phased floor by floor or room by room so the property stays in operation throughout.

Individual doors typically run $450–$850 to wrap versus $800–$1,900 to replace. At scale, we provide a fixed, written quote per property after a walkthrough — door count, condition and finish selection all affect the number.

Often, yes — Bodaq® offers hundreds of finishes. We review your brand's specific PIP requirements and the relevant test documentation with your team before committing to a finish.

Yes. We regularly coordinate with GCs, facilities teams and property managers on scheduling, access and phasing.

Yes — cab walls, door panels and reveals are typically wrapped in place, avoiding the cost and downtime of ordering and installing new panels.

It depends on scope — a door or two versus a full room of doors, vanity and casework. We provide a per-room time estimate as part of the proposal after the walkthrough.

Bodaq® film is built for commercial use and carries scratch and abrasion test documentation — see our documentation section for the specific reports.

Yes — we scope the full property, phase the schedule around your operational needs, and provide a written timeline per floor or block before work begins.
