Wooden Doors Fabricated from Premium Lumber Grades
Stain Grade Lumber
For our louvered door products ordered in stain grade, we use FAS clear hardwood grades for both domestic and imported lumber. For projects requiring environmentally sensitive grades, we also offer FSC certification when required. We procure all of our lumber electronically, and order only the FAS clear grades. Additionally, we pre-select and inspect each shipment of lumber, and moisture check to insure that it meets our 8% standard. And as part of our routine quality process, each board from a unit of lumber is inspected as part of our quality louvered door manufacturing process.
Paint Grade Lumber
Even our economical paint grade louvered doors are manufactured from FAS grade lumber. The FAS specification controls the type of defects that are permitted, including knots, which we exclude from our paint grade products. However, features that would be considered defects in stain grade products -- color streaks, mineral discoloration etc, are not pertinent in paint grade. Typically, we use Poplar and occasionally Oak and Soft Maple for our paint grade products.
Color and Grain Matching
For high end louvered doors, we can offer a pre-selection service whereby all of the lumber required for the entire louvered door job is picked, inspected, and designated to be assembled as a unit at one time, which often results in boards from the same tree ending up in the same door for maximum consistency. When specified we can also book match raised panels and flat panels when used in our louvered doors.
Milling and Sawing Specifications
For our highly discriminating louvered door customers, we can offer our various hardwood species to be sawn in certain way, to emphasize a desirable feature of the wood. If required, the door material can be specified as flat-sawn, quarter-sawn, rift-sawn or ribbon sawn. Talk with your Estate Millwork louvered door specialist to inquire about adding these specifications to your order.
Top Quality and Elegant Custom Wood Doors
Estate Millwork creates each custom wood door from your detailed specifications. We use premium materials, state of the art equipment, and an experienced, quality oriented staff to produce our doors. We follow each of the steps below to produce the finest wooden doors on the market.
Hand Selection and Inspection of Materials
Our lumber procurement process is computer driven so that we are sure to be getting the best possible price on the highest quality materials. Once your order is "green-lighted" for production in our plant, the lumber demand is compared to our shop inventory and automatic replenishment orders are placed if necessary. When production begins on each custom door, the material is hand selected and the best of our high quality stock is used for the solid stiles of the doors. Louvers and rails are generally selected from the same lot of material to afford the best match, within the natural variation of hardwoods.
Precision Ripping of Rails and Stiles
We minimize the costs of our high quality products by maximizing the yield on the rough lumber. Once the lumber of the appropriate thickness has been selected, it is passed through our ripping department where a specialized gang rip saw is used to get the maximum yield from each board. Our operators are trained to reject defective materials either during the selection process or during the sawing process, as some defects are latent and are not visible until the board is "opened up".
Hand Jointing of All Door Components
The next step is to hand joint each rough sawn board to get a true flat edge, and to relieve any internal stress in the solid wood. This is a step that is skipped by many modern door manufactures, but one that we believe is so important that we honor the tradition. Our most skilled craftsmen in the plant are responsible for this function which requires judgement, precision and experience. Lower quality door manufacturers skip this step, or use particle cores and veneers to fake the look of a real door. But by hand jointing each board, we insure that every other step in the process is operating on a flat, smooth board, and that the door will remain stable for its lifetime.
White Oak: Timeless Beauty and Exceptional Versatility
White Oak stands as a remarkable domestic hardwood, prized for its widespread availability and affordability without compromising on quality. With its inherent strength and remarkably straight grain, white oak proves itself to be a versatile and easy-to-work-with material, ideal for crafting furniture, cabinets, and wider panels with seamless matching.
What truly sets White Oak apart is its captivating medullary rays, which become strikingly visible when the wood is quartersawn, adding a touch of elegance and character to any project. Once favored during the arts and crafts movement of the early 1900s, White Oak continues to be a preferred choice for furniture building, while its applications have expanded to include a myriad of uses in modern design and construction.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, White Oak's unique cellular structure lends it exceptional water resistance, making it a preferred option for exterior applications ranging from trim and construction to garden structures. While its appearance may seem unremarkable at first glance, White Oak's true beauty shines through during the finishing process, allowing its natural charm to emerge.
Scientifically known as Quercus alba, White Oak boasts a pale, creamy color with grain patterns characterized by straight lines and distinctive ray flecks, adding to its timeless allure. Whether used for custom cabinetry, hardwood flooring, or refined furniture, White Oak brings a touch of classic elegance to every project. Renowned for its durability and resistance to wear, decay, and rot, White Oak ensures that your investment will withstand the test of time, promising lasting beauty and functionality for generations to come.
Handcrafted with Sustainably Harvested Lumber
At Estate Millwork, we employ a meticulous process to ensure the quality and sustainability of our lumber. Our commitment begins with the careful air drying of much of our lumber, followed by further refinement in low wattage dehumidification kilns to achieve optimal moisture levels.
Every single piece of wood we acquire undergoes thorough utilization in our production processes. Leveraging advanced automated saws and optimization software, we achieve an exceptional yield ratio of 94 percent. This means that nearly all of the wood we purchase is transformed into usable products. The small remainder, comprising mainly sawdust and chips, is utilized efficiently: either utilized as fuel to power our operations, or repurposed by providing bedding and contributing to composting for local cattle farmers.
Our dedication to minimizing waste extends to the sourcing of our materials. A significant portion of the lumber we use hails from Amish farmers within our county. These farmers adhere to traditional practices, utilizing horses for harvesting and operating vintage 1920s sawmills. Such methods not only contribute to the preservation of heritage techniques but also entail lower environmental impact compared to modern industrial approaches.
Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability is evident in the sourcing of our imported lumber. We exclusively procure lumber from plantation-grown sources, thereby ensuring that our operations do not contribute to deforestation or the depletion of natural forests. By prioritizing responsible sourcing and efficient utilization, Estate Millwork strives to uphold environmental stewardship while delivering exceptional craftsmanship.
Whether you are selecting a front entry door that makes a grand first impression, interior doors that define your living spaces, or specialty doors like French doors or barn doors, understanding your options helps you make the best choice for your home and budget.
Types of Custom Wood Doors
Louvered doors feature angled slats that allow airflow and ventilation, making them ideal for closets, laundry rooms, pantries, and tropical-style interiors. Raised panel doors have solid panels with a beveled profile, offering a traditional and formal look appropriate for Colonial, Georgian, and Traditional interiors. Flat panel doors provide a clean, contemporary appearance well suited to Shaker, Craftsman, and Modern design styles. French doors feature glass panes framed by wood muntins, bringing natural light between rooms or connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. Barn doors slide on a surface-mounted track system, saving the swing clearance of a traditional door and adding a distinctive design element.
Selecting the Best Wood for Your Doors
The wood species you choose determines the color, grain pattern, and character of your finished door. Mahogany is the classic choice for entry doors, prized for its rich reddish-brown color, excellent stability, and natural resistance to moisture. Cherry delivers a warm, elegant tone that deepens with age, making it a favorite for fine interior doors. Maple offers a light, uniform grain that takes stain evenly and works well in Contemporary and Transitional settings. White Oak and Red Oak provide strong grain character and excellent durability. For paint-grade doors, Poplar is the most economical solid hardwood option, with a smooth surface that produces a flawless painted finish. Knotty Alder offers a rustic look with distinctive knot patterns popular in Southwestern and Rustic decor.
How to Measure for Custom Doors
Measure the width and height of the existing door slab, or the rough opening if you are framing new. For replacement doors, measure the slab itself, not the frame. Standard interior door widths are 24, 28, 30, 32, and 36 inches, but custom doors can be built to any dimension. Standard heights are 80 inches for interior doors and 80 or 96 inches for entry doors. Measure at three points across the width and three points for the height, and use the smallest measurement. For our louvered doors and raised panel doors, we build to your exact specification to the nearest sixteenth of an inch.
Door Construction and Quality
The quality of a wood door is determined by its construction method. Our doors use traditional rail and stile construction with solid hardwood components joined by mortise and tenon joinery. This is the same construction method used by master craftsmen for centuries because it produces the strongest, most durable frame. Each joint uses a half-inch by one and seven-eighths inch tenon secured with a hardwood dowel and waterproof adhesive. Lower-quality doors use dowel joints, biscuit joints, or finger-jointed lumber that will fail over time. Solid White Oak construction ensures your door will perform for decades.
Finishing and Installation Considerations
We offer unfinished, primed, painted, and stained finish options. Exterior doors require a finish rated for UV and weather exposure, with the top and bottom edges sealed to prevent moisture wicking. Interior doors can use any interior-grade finish. For painted doors, our factory priming provides an excellent foundation. For stained doors, we recommend discussing your color preference with our specialists so we can select material with complementary grain character. When ordering a pre-hung door, specify the hinge side and swing direction. For barn doors, measure the wall space beside the opening to ensure adequate clearance for the door to slide fully open.
Custom Doors vs. Home Center Alternatives
Mass-produced doors from home improvement stores are typically hollow-core or use engineered cores with veneer faces. They come in standard sizes and limited styles. A custom solid wood door from Estate Millwork is built to your exact dimensions, from the wood species you choose, in the style you want. Every component is solid hardwood, assembled with time-tested joinery. The visual difference between a solid White Oak door and a hollow-core veneer door is immediately apparent. Solid wood doors also offer superior sound insulation, thermal performance, and a substantial feel that cannot be replicated by lightweight alternatives.
