Custom Wood Exterior Doors

I’ve seen a few outdated recommendations here for custom woodworkers who specialize in exterior doors, so I thought I would fish for some new recommendations. First hand experience/recommendations are preferred. Anyone have a good resource ?

We’re looking to replace our aging arched double doors with something classic and sturdy. I’ve already Googled and interviewed a bunch of resources, but so far I’ve been underwhelmed with our options.

Thanks in advance!

I just had a beautiful pair of doors fabricated to my specifications by Select Custom Door (http://www.selectcustomdoor.com/) about three hours north from here.

Hi,
With extensive collection of premium doors which suits your taste available in the market its quite confusing to select the best in the business. There are services which employ German technology for bringing forth resilient, energy efficient and beautiful doors. Last summer I had some renovation done for my house and the doors were all replaced with new ones. It was high time for renovation. I approached my friend for some info and I finally opted for the custom doors by door installation services Canglow Windows and Doors Edmonton (canglow.ca/doors/custom-doors/). Next time I would surely upload few photographs too.
Custom doors can be of various types like
Solid Hardwoods, MDF or say fibre glass. The one I opted was fibre glass for its durability. Remember there are services which provide patio and entry doors too. Always pick energy efficient doors.
Best of luck

Are your doors so badly damaged that they can’t be refurbished?
