Are you in the process of building a new home? Maybe you’d like to customize your current house to add extra charm and character.

They’re highly customizable, elegant, and breathtakingly gorgeous.

 

Carriage House Door Company

Real wood is unlike any other type of garage door material. It’s natural, warm, and inviting. Carriage House Door Company’s artisans handcraft their wood doors meticulously using superior wood and professional hardware. The result? Doors with timeless beauty and authenticity combined with modern technology to add value and dimension to your home.

 

FSC Certified

Carriage House Door has earned the Forest Stewardship Council Chain-of-Custody certification, which means their products come from responsibly managed sources. This certification implies that a company complies with the highest social and environmental standards on the market.

 

Rustic

Rustic and vintage styles are popular in many modern homes today. Now, you can even incorporate the classic look in your garage! Carriage House Door Co. designs doors made from reclaimed wooden boards that were salvaged from old barns and have been aging for over 100 years. These vintage wood doors are true pieces of art and available in three colors—sienna, umber, and cordovan.

 

Modern

Maybe you love wood but want to go modern instead of using the past as your inspiration. Explore Carriage House Door’s contemporary collections, ranging from neoclassical to postmodern. Different sizes and shapes of windows can also be added to these doors to add a focal point or let natural light into the garage. Using different techniques to create these masterpieces, they are able to produce a large variety of colors, textures, and finishes.

Using a traditional Japanese form of wood burning (Shou Sugi Ban), for example, they can design doors that are more resistant to rot, fire, and insects by charring, cooling, cleaning, and finishing the wood with a natural oil.

Sapele mahogany (a fast-growing wood), reclaimed redwood or barn wood, and Burmese teak are just a few of the beautiful and sustainable woods used to manufacture these doors.
