Wood
Cedar, hemlock and mahogany, built to order. On a craftsman or heritage house it is not a preference, it is the only thing that sits right.
Grain has a depth that no embossing reproduces, and a stained cedar door gets better looking as it settles. It asks for something in return — a recoat every few years depending on exposure — and we will be straight with you about whether your elevation makes that easy or miserable.
A south or west elevation with no overhang is hard on any finish. If that is your house we will tell you, and we will show you the faux wood steel alternative alongside it — then you can decide with the real trade-off in front of you rather than after the first recoat.
The consultation is free and we bring the samples to you.
Typically every three to five years, but exposure drives it. A door under a deep overhang on a north elevation can go far longer than one baking on a west face.
Yes. Insulated builds are available and worth it on an attached garage.
Usually. Bring us a sample or let us take one at the consultation and we will match the stain or paint.
Yes, meaningfully — it is built to order rather than pulled from a catalogue. We will quote both wood and a faux wood steel equivalent so you can see the gap.
SteelThe default for good reason: strong, warm, low maintenance and available in almost any look, including convincing faux wood. Thermally broken options for garages you actually use as rooms.
