FAQs
What services do you offer?
1
Our services center on the custom fabrication of wood entry and vestibule doors in the historic style for residential and select commercial buildings. Each door is commissioned for a specific place and designed in response to its architectural context, balancing proportion, material, and performance.
What is a typical investment for a custom door?
2
Most entry door commissions range from $25,000 to $35,000, depending on the door size and configuration (single or double doors).
More complex assemblies, larger openings, or specialized detailing extending beyond that range. Final pricing reflects scale, material selection, design complexity, and site conditions. Each project is evaluated individually during the project discovery and proposal process.
Do you offer installation?
