Custom & Wood Garage Doors in Concord, CA

Why Concord homes need custom & wood doors done right

This is where Concord gets interesting. The Eichler tracts — Rancho Del Diablo off Mendocino Drive, Rancho de Los Santos, and Parkwood Estates along Gainsborough, Lancashire and Barrington — were built in 1963–64 to designs by Claude Oakland and Jones & Emmons, and their garages sit right at the front of the house by design. Two things matter on those homes that most companies get wrong: many original Eichler garage doors were sliding, not roll-up sectional, so a conversion has to be thought through rather than improvised; and the period-correct door is flat and flush with minimal or no glazing — a raised-panel carriage-house door on an Eichler is simply wrong for the house and reads that way from the street. We know the difference and will tell you honestly what suits the home. On the wider mid-century ranch stock the same principle applies in a lower key: clean horizontal lines, correct proportions, no ornament borrowed from a style the house never had. And whatever the design, we spec the finish for Concord's sun and the springs for the door's real weight — because in this heat a beautiful door with the wrong finish is a maintenance problem by its second summer.

For estate homes and design-led remodels, the garage door is a defining architectural element, not an afterthought. We design and install custom and wood garage doors — hand-finished carriage house, clear-cedar and mahogany, modern flush wood, and full-view glass — engineered with the right springs, insulation and opener to carry the extra weight and stand up to the local climate.
