What We Do
We build custom exterior and interior solid wood doors. We have produced hundreds of different door designs. We will evaluate a door design from an architect, building contractor, or homeowner. If it meets our structural requirements, we will build it.
With almost unlimited potential, we have made doors:
- with one design on the interior and a different design on the exterior;
- using over 30 types of wood species (you are not limited to 6 or 7 like some other manufacturers);
- with one wood species on the interior and a different wood species on the exterior;
- with a different finish on the interior than on the exterior;
- and with stained glass by the best artists in the area.
Our Business History
We started manufacturing doors in 1995. Our first door was for an architect in Minneapolis. After seeing our door, our business has grown considerably simply by word of mouth. We have now shipped doors to 26 states, including Alaska. Most of our current door production is shipped to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and surrounding six states.
