Custom wood carriage house doors are built for homeowners who want a one-of-a-kind look. We help translate your style goals into a door design that fits your opening and complements your home.
Design approach
- Panel layouts, window options, and decorative hardware to match your façade
- Wood species and finish options selected for appearance and longevity
- Detail work for arches, overlays, and custom proportions
Wood Collection design options
- Featured Carriage House Door wood designs include Savannah, Santorini, Riviera, Pasadena, Ojai, Napa, Casablanca, Montecito, Hillsborough, and Gable
- Numbered Wood Door Models span 1000 through 8000 series examples for different panel, window, and carriage-house layouts
- Paint-grade specifications commonly use Extira trim with gray factory primer, while stain-grade specifications support wood trim options such as clear western red cedar, select tight knot cedar, mahogany, Douglas fir, ipe, redwood, or other specified materials
- Final design, material, finish, and hardware selections should be verified for the opening, architecture, and current manufacturer availability
Practical considerations
- Weight and balance planning for smoother operation and opener pairing
- Weather sealing and fitment details to reduce drafts
- Maintenance expectations for stained or painted wood doors
Finish care and warranty expectations
Carriage House Door Company treats wood carriage doors as specialty products that require finish care before installation and throughout service. Paint-grade doors need exterior-grade primer and paint on the front, back, and all four edges; stain-grade doors need stain and an exterior oil-based sealer, with all edges sealed for moisture protection. Required finishing must be completed within two days after receipt and before exposure to weather.
After installation, plan to inspect the door finish periodically. If the finish becomes weathered, thin, or deteriorated, the affected surfaces should be refinished following the manufacturer’s care instructions. Damage from improper finishing, missed maintenance, excessive sun or water exposure, or unapproved products may not be covered by the wood or factory-finish warranty.
