I am looking for resources to order garage/entrance doors for my new house. I would like these doors to have old-world charm similar to a carriage house. I have only found one source and need to find others so I may compare prices. Thanks for your help

Nancy, I would be interested to know what you've found. This is not easy, the doors commonly available are the tackiest, ugly things you can get.

*Mad Dog:No stuff! Tacky and ugly are fairly complimentary when talking about run-of-the-mill garage doors available.Thanx for the link. Am currently building a Craftsman style home with detached garage and think I can finally find some doors to suit.Carol, don't know about your area but several custom door and window shops here in Atlanta. Check Yellow pages for leaded glass. How 'bout letting us know if you turn up anything out of the ordinary? Had some luck on one project with Grand river Door http://www.grandriverdoor.com/ in Santa Fe, NMBill
*First, did you read this from FHB?Designer Doors, which both MD and the above article referred to, certainly makes a very nice product. I visited them a few years back and can vouch for the quality of their product.The following I have bookmarked, but have no experience with them. I suspect most are run of the mill trash:Amarr See the Wellington door, a stock wood door, but looks somewhat nice. Goldhaven Const, construction company that does custom doors, may be able to get ideas…Overhead Door offers a few wood doors, from hardboard to "mahogany".If you have time to burn, check out the links from this search. I’m sure most of what is offered is garbage, so wade in at your own risk.Garage doors are almost always an afterthought when it comes to construction. Finding a custom door shop to bring your ideas to life may be the only way to truly get what you want.
