Why Occidental homes need custom & wood doors done right

Shade rather than sun is what breaks a finish down here, and it starts at the bottom rail, so all six faces get sealed and the bottom edge gets particular attention. On cut-in garages we keep construction as light as the design allows because headroom is usually limited, and we size springs and opener to the weighed door — on a one-off timber door that calculation is the one most often skipped.

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 Occidental 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 Occidental — FAQs

Will a wood door survive permanent shade?

Yes, with every face sealed and the finish maintained. Damp shade is harder on a coating than sunlight, and the bottom edge fails first.

Can a heavy timber door fit a cut-in garage?

Often, with low-headroom hardware and construction chosen for weight. We measure and weigh rather than assuming, because these openings have very little to spare.

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.

“We had replaced the bottom seal three times and it still let light and leaves in at one end. They explained the floor falls across the opening, fitted the right profile and set the tracks properly. Obvious once someone actually looked.”
