Looking for companies that "dip strip" doors and moldings to remove
layers of old paint -- I am in (near) Western suburbs of Boston.

Also, does anybody know what the typical cost is to dip a door? What
about moldings?

Thanks

Dip stripping is really tough on wood and raises grain a great deal.
You might end up doing more work sanding than if you strip the stuff
yourself. Flat doors, especially. If the moldings are standard plain
molding, might be better in the long run just to replace it. If shaped
or good wood, another story.
