Architectural Statements

Custom Exterior & Interior Wood Doors

A door is the first tactile interaction someone has with your home. We hand-craft solid wood statement doors in Canaan, Indiana that set the tone for the entire property, built to your exact opening rather than a stock size.

Custom Exterior Entry Doors

Your entryway is the signature of your home. We build true custom exterior doors designed to withstand the elements while offering breathtaking architectural detail -- sized precisely to your opening, with no compromises.

Whether you need a massive pivot door for a modern estate, a classic double door with custom glass lites, or a historically accurate replacement, our craftsmen utilize traditional joinery and premium dense hardwoods to ensure longevity.

Custom Interior Passages

Carry the standard of quality throughout the home with our custom interior doors. A solid wood interior door provides superior sound dampening and a weighty, substantial feel that hollow-core or MDF alternatives simply cannot match.

We accommodate fully custom panel layouts, arched glass and panel inserts, pocket door configurations, and matching custom jambs and casing profiles.

  • True Stile & Rail Construction: Authentic joinery that breathes with the home.
  • Custom Glass & Ironwork: Integration with specialty glass providers.
  • Hardware Prep: Pre-machined to exact specifications for high-end mortise locks.
Styles We Build

From Statement Entries to Quiet Passages

Every door style is built using traditional joinery methods, sized to your exact opening -- whether it's a single dramatic pivot entry or a full house of matching interior doors.

Pivot Doors

Oversized, modern statement entries that swing on a center pivot rather than side hinges -- engineered to handle substantial weight for dramatic scale.

Double & French Doors

Classic paired entries with custom glass lites, matching sidelites, and transoms, sized precisely to your opening rather than a stock frame.

Interior Panel & Pocket Doors

True stile-and-rail construction with custom panel layouts, arched glass and panel inserts, and pocket configurations to match your home's existing trim and casing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom Wood Door Questions, Answered

Everything homeowners, builders, and designers ask us before commissioning a custom exterior or interior door.

How much does a custom wood door cost?+

Pricing depends on size, wood species, glass, and hardware complexity -- a single custom interior door costs less than an oversized exterior pivot door with specialty glass. We provide a firm quote after measuring your opening and discussing your design during a consultation.

How long does it take to build a custom door?+

Most custom exterior and interior doors are completed within several weeks of finalizing your design and species selection, depending on complexity and our current shop schedule. We will give you a realistic timeline before production begins.

What is the best wood species for an exterior entry door?+

White oak, mahogany, walnut, and sapele are our most popular exterior species because of their density and natural resistance to weather and rot. We help you choose based on your climate exposure, desired finish, and the architectural style of your home.

Can you match my home's existing trim, casing, or hardware prep?+

Yes. We build custom jambs and casing profiles to match your home's existing millwork, and pre-machine every door to your exact hardware specifications, including high-end mortise locks and specialty hinges.

Do solid wood doors require special maintenance?+

Exterior wood doors benefit from a quality finish and periodic recoating, similar to any premium wood exposed to the elements. We finish every door for durability and can advise on a simple maintenance schedule to protect your investment for decades.

Do you install doors, or supply them only?+

We install throughout Southeast Indiana and ship completed custom doors ready to hang for builders, designers, and homeowners across the Midwest who prefer to use their own installer.
