# Frequently Asked Questions
##### What most folks want to know
Common questions and clear answers—straight from the workshop
Why do your doors cost more than what I see at big box stores?
Our doors aren’t mass-produced. They’re built one at a time, by hand, from solid hardwood — no veneers, hollow cores, or filler materials. Every door is custom-sized to fit your opening and designed to match your home’s style, era, and architecture.
You’re not just paying for a door. You’re choosing in something that will last for decades, fit right the first time, and add real value to your home.
With the right care, our doors can last 20–30 years or more. Most off-the-shelf options are built for shorter-term use — and many of our customers come to us after learning that the hard way.
How long will it take to get my door?
Most custom door orders ship within 6–10 weeks, depending on complexity and season. Every door is built to order. Need something sooner? Reach out — we’ll see what’s possible.
How do shipping and delivery work?
We ship nationwide from our workshop in New York. Small items ship via FedEx Ground; most doors ship curbside via insured freight. You’ll be contacted to schedule delivery, and we’ll guide you through what to expect. Lift gate service is available if needed, and we can arrange alternate delivery options for tight or rural locations.
Do you offer finishing or installation?
We ship all doors unfinished so you can choose the paint or stain that best fits your space. While we don’t offer installation, our doors are easy to work with and arrive sanded and prepped. Many customers use a contractor, but experienced DIYers often install them too.
What kind of finish should I use?
That depends on your exposure and style. We’re happy to recommend finishes based on your climate and design goals — whether you need UV protection for a sun-exposed entry or want a stain that matches original trim. Just ask — we’re here to help.
What if my home has non-standard dimensions or is over 100 years old?
That’s exactly what we’re here for. From sloping porches to century-old openings, we build to fit — not force it. Our doors are designed to meet your home where it is, with precision and care.
I’m overwhelmed. How do I know what door I need?
Don’t worry — you don’t have to have it all figured out. Just send us a photo and rough measurements, and we’ll walk you through the next steps. Whether you’re restoring an old farmhouse or updating your kitchen, we’ll help you get it right.
