Reproduction Screen Doors

In the late 1800's the Victorian Era saw architecture that was heavily embellished by wooden brackets, moldings and screen doors. Almost a century later in the mid-1980s, North America saw a modest renaissance of this Victorian detailing. Since 1986 I have produced a number of screen doors and other millwork of this period. It is very satisfying to drive through the town’s & county side a see my work embellishing the peaks & entrances of many fine homes.

Since 1986 I have produced more than 30 different traditional designs in custom screen doors. The three doors above have been the favorites of many. I build a very high quality door and pay close attention to detail as I hope my web site demonstrates. My doors come nicely sanded and paint ready. They are well joined and glued with West System water impervious epoxy for maximum longevity. I use a D-select grade of white pine, which minimizes knots to very small and very few if any. Pine is the best wood to use for screen doors, as its rot resistance is much higher than Tulip wood. One should avoid the purchase of tulip wood doors as this wood has very little natural resistance to rot. Due to the wide range of selection we do not include the hardware with your door. However the screen and screen mould is included but not installed as you should paint first & then install the screen.
