Carved Wood Front Doors for Homes, Lake Houses & Cabins
When it comes to our products, we provide the entire door unit, not just a door. This could include a single door, double door, single door and sidelites, or any other combination all pre-hung in jamb. We then work closely with homeowners and contractors alike to select and craft the perfect carved image for your dream door. Our unique approach includes a blend of sand carving and hand-carving techniques, ensuring each design – from subtle pine boughs to intricate wildlife and scenic landscapes – is brought to life with remarkable detail. You won’t find a computer doing work in our shop, unless we’re sending an email.
Our expertise doesn’t stop at wood. Collaborating with talented artists, we incorporate etched glass and custom forged metal into our designs, offering an array of options to meet your specific aesthetic and functional requirements.
What Sets Us Apart
Great River Door Company stands apart in the industry for our unparalleled commitment to quality and customization. Our doors, crafted from the finest woods, are built to a robust 2 1/4″ thickness, featuring mortise and tenon joinery for unmatched strength and stability. Each piece of wood is meticulously chosen for both its quality and visual appeal, ensuring your door is not only structurally sound but also visually stunning.
We provide fully finished door units, ready for installation upon arrival. Our finishing process has been honed over decades, applying the best products to protect your door from harsh weather conditions while enhancing the beauty of the carved designs. From clear to obscure, our double-pane, insulated glass is chosen to suit your preferences, ensuring durability through diverse climates.
What styles of carved residential wood doors do you offer?+
We craft a wide range of carved door styles — from classic raised panels and geometric patterns to custom scenic, nature-inspired or themed designs. Every carved door is custom-designed to match your home’s aesthetic.
Can I submit my own design or artwork for a carved door?+
Yes! We welcome customer-provided artwork or sketches. Our team will work with you to refine the design and ensure it translates well into the carved wood medium.
What types of wood can be used for carved doors?+
We work with premium woods like alder, cedar, pine and select reclaimed beams. Each species imparts a unique grain and texture that enhances the carved detail.
How long does it take to create a custom carved door?+
Because carved doors are handcrafted with intricate detail, lead times vary based on design complexity and size. We’ll provide a timeline at the time of order so you know what to expect.
Will carved doors hold up outdoors in changing weather?+
Yes — when properly finished and sealed, our carved doors are suitable for exterior use. We custom-finish each door based on your location and exposure to ensure long-lasting protection.
