The best solution for any project involves a combination of inputs — from design requirements defined by the building’s age or style, how the entryway will be used and the owner’s personal preferences, to very practical questions of materials, cost and feasibility.

Historic Doors works closely with clients, and client teams, including:

• Architects
• Builders
• Homeowners
• Restoration contractors
• Facilities managers
• Interior designers

We begin a project with a design consultation, which can range from simple advice on existing plans to complete research and design consultation. When appropriate, we will meet with you, visit the site and photograph the building and other structures in the area. For each project, detailed shop drawings are prepared by hand, so that communication is clear on all aspects of the design.

Once the design is approved, one craftsman, trained in traditional joinery, sees your project through to final assembly. You always have a single point of contact who knows your project thoroughly. Your entryway is built by a person, not a factory. Finally, our craftsmen know how to combine tradition and efficiency, using traditional hand construction methods while benefiting from the efficient use of woodworking machinery where appropriate.

We welcome the opportunity to be part of the conversation early in your project, when our knowledge, research capabilities and experience can help provide solutions which meet your unique project needs and budget.
