Wood Doors.

Built in-house at our Gilbert shop on North Monterey Street — interior, entry, panel, slab, and barn doors milled to the opening you actually have.

Doors, milled in our shop.

Most cabinet shops in the East Valley outsource their doors to a third-party millwork supplier. We don't. Doors are built on the same floor as our cabinetry — same finishers, same hardware coordination, same Sherwin-Williams finish booth. That's the differentiator, and it's why a whole-house door package out of our shop reads as one set instead of a parts catalog.

The joint is the door.

Stile-and-rail panel doors are mortise-and-tenoned. Slab doors are veneered over engineered substrate so they stay flat through a Phoenix summer. Edge-banding, hardware prep, and the finish coat all happen under the same roof on North Monterey Street.

Substrates and veneers come from Gizir and Querkus / Decospan — two of the cleaner European panel suppliers — and topcoats are sprayed in Sherwin-Williams systems in the booth. That's not a brag, it's how we keep one finish recipe from the cabinets to the doors to the millwork trim.

Method Our Process

Spec. Mill. Finish. Hang.

01

Spec & Measure

We measure every opening on site — rough opening width, height, jamb depth, swing, hinge side, hardware. For whole-house packages we map every door to the floor plan so nothing gets cut twice.

02

Shop Drawings

You approve a CAD drawing of each door style — panel layout, stile and rail widths, sticking profile, veneer direction, and hardware locations — before we cut a single piece of stock.

03

Mill

Doors are built on the shop floor in Gilbert. Stile-and-rail joinery for panel doors; substrate, veneer, and edge-band for slab doors. Mortises and hinge gains are machined here.

04

Finish

Sand, seal, and top-coat in our Sherwin-Williams finish booth — the same booth as the cabinetry, so grain and color carry across the package.

05

Deliver & Hang

We crate, deliver, and hang on site — or coordinate with your GC and trim carpenter for a builder-supplied install. Punch-list close-out is part of the job, not an upcharge.

Knowledge FAQ

Door questions, answered.

Is there a minimum order? Can you build just one door?

We build single replacement doors when the wood species, finish, and hardware can be matched to what's already in the house — that's usually the constraint, not quantity. Most of our door work, though, is six-or-more openings as part of a kitchen or whole-house package, because that's where in-house manufacturing actually saves the homeowner money and reads as one set.

Can you match an existing door for a replacement?

In most cases, yes. We need to see the existing door — wood species, panel profile, stile-and-rail dimensions, and the current finish. If the original used a stain or topcoat we can identify in the Sherwin-Williams system, we can color-match closely. Perfect match on an aged door isn't realistic; close-enough-to-read-as-one-set is.

Do you handle the hardware too — hinges, knobs, locksets?

We coordinate hardware before the door is built. You supply the hardware (or specify it and we'll order), and we machine the mortises, hinge gains, and strike locations in-shop. The door arrives prepped for the hardware you actually picked — not a generic 2-3/8" backset that has to be rebored on site.

What finishes are available?

Stain-and-clear, painted, glazed, or natural-finish over a select veneer. We work in Sherwin-Williams pre-cat lacquer and conversion-varnish systems, with veneer faces from Querkus / Decospan when a specific grain or species is the point. If you bring a sample chip or another contractor's door, we can usually get within shouting distance.

Do you install on site, or just deliver?

Both options. We install ourselves for clients who hired us for the whole job. For builder-supplied installs we deliver the doors prepped (hardware machined, finish cured) and coordinate with your trim carpenter. The shop is on North Monterey Street in Gilbert, so most East Valley deliveries are same-day.

How long does a custom door package take?

A single replacement door is typically three to four weeks from approved shop drawing to delivery. A whole-house package of 12–20 openings runs eight to twelve weeks depending on species, finish complexity, and how the door schedule aligns with the rest of the project.
