We design and fabricate both modern and historic doors one at a time to your specifications. Our custom doors start with carefully selected hardwoods oriented for good color and grain matching as well as stability throughout seasonal changes. A door has to stand up to the elements on one side while being heated or air conditioned on the other. By taking the time to select the right lumber and proper milling techniques, our solid wood doors perform. All doors are constructed with a true mortise and tenon joint for strength and durability. Jambs and thresholds fitted with weather strip keep the elements out and your heat in. Glass is always tempered or laminated for safety and insulated or tinted glass is available through our local glass manufacturer. Doors can be manufactured as a pre-hung unit with jambs and stops matching the door material. Contact us to discuss your custom door or entryway project. |

The door is a natural finish solid Sapelle Mahogany adorned with wonderful solid brass hardware that the homeowner provided. The spider web transom window has an insulated glass panel and is constructed from Azek cellular PVC. While the door itself is hung on solid wood door jamb the exterior jamb is fully constructed from green and rot free materials including Azek and polyurethane moldings. Q-lon weather strip and a solid brass door bottom sweep keep out the drafts.

This door had to be built on the third floor of the home because there was not enough room to get it up the narrow old spiral staircase. It is a nice example of a rustic barn door that slides on a top mounted track concealed behind a plank. The entire wall is covered in the same walnut with a small bookcase at one end. This wood was sawn locally, kiln dried and handpicked to include as much knots and defects as possible to give the installation rustic character. |
