Why Cotati homes need custom & wood doors done right

The constraint near the plaza is rarely taste, it is space: short drives, tight headroom and skewed approaches mean a heavy custom door has to be planned in rather than delivered and discovered. We measure the approach as well as the opening, size springs and opener to the real weight, and where headroom is tight use low-headroom hardware so a handsome door does not end up impossible to fit.

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.

What to expect on your Cotati visit

1
Design consultation
We work from your home's architecture — materials, proportions, glass, and hardware — to design a door that looks intentional, then provide a free written estimate.
2
Engineer for the weight
Wood and glass doors are heavy. We spec high-cycle springs, the right drums and a strong, quiet opener so the door operates effortlessly and lasts.
3
Finish for the climate
We recommend finishes, insulation and seals suited to your microclimate — coastal salt air, wine-country heat, or foggy hillsides all treat wood differently.
4
Precise installation
Custom doors demand exact fit. We install, balance, tune the opener, and detail the reveals and seals so the finished door is flush and true.

Custom & Wood Doors in Cotati — FAQs

Can a small old garage take a custom wood door?

Often yes, provided the header and side room are measured and the hardware is chosen for them. The weight is manageable; the space is the real question.

Will my existing opener cope?

Usually not. Wood and glass doors are much heavier than the steel they replace, and an undersized opener fails early. We size the system to the new door.

Do wood garage doors hold up in the Bay Area climate?

Yes, with the right species, finish and maintenance. We recommend stable woods and marine-grade finishes for coastal and foggy locations, and UV-protective finishes for hot inland and wine-country sun, plus a re-seal schedule.

Can you match my home's architecture or an existing door?

That's the point of a custom door. We design to your home's style — carriage, Spanish, modern, farmhouse — and can match materials, proportions and hardware to existing elements.

Are custom doors heavier, and does that matter?

They are, which is why engineering matters. We size high-cycle springs and a suitable opener to the door's real weight, so a heavy wood or glass door still runs smoothly and doesn't burn out the motor.

How long does a custom garage door take?

Because they're built to order, custom and wood doors typically have a lead time of several weeks. We'll give you a clear schedule up front and keep your existing door working in the meantime.

“Our garage sits at a strange angle off the plaza and two firms had told us a new door would not fit. They measured it, said exactly what would work and why, and fitted it without any drama. First people who treated the odd shape as normal.”
