What makes a Carriage House door different?
Nothing comes off a shelf. Carriage House Door handcrafts high-end custom wood garage doors and contemporary modern doors, each one built to order from the wood you choose, the finish, and the customizations you select. As the maker puts it, no door in the world will be like yours. Door Dorks designs, installs, and services them across San Diego County.
Brand overview
Carriage House Door builds two things exceptionally well: handcrafted wood garage doors, and clean contemporary doors for modern architecture. Their Wood Collection is designed to give you the function of a modern sectional door with the Old World charm of a traditional wooden carriage door. Their Modern Collection does the opposite job, steel sectional doors built for contemporary homes.
Because every door is made to order, you are choosing the wood, the panel design, the windows, and the finish, and it is built to your opening. That is the difference between a genuine custom door and a stamped lookalike: the proportions, the hardware, and the finish are matched to your house. We handle the design help, the install, and any service after, as part of our full San Marcos garage door work.
A custom door is equal parts curb appeal and long-term value. Here is what you actually get.
The garage door is often the largest feature on the front of a house. A carriage-style design gives it real character and a high-end, custom look.
A new garage door is consistently one of the highest-return home improvements you can make, recouping most of its cost at resale in national remodeling reports.
Sized and styled for your exact opening and architecture, not a one-size panel. You pick the design, windows, and finish.
Real wood, insulated steel, or low-maintenance faux wood, built with quality hardware and a timeless design meant to last.
Handcrafted by a maker with a heritage of fine craftsmanship, then installed and balanced by a licensed local crew.
From Spanish and ranch to Craftsman, farmhouse, and modern homes, there is a carriage-style look that fits.
The collections
Every door is built to order, so these are starting points rather than fixed products. We walk you through the range and help you choose in a free consultation.
The flagship range, and the reason most people come to this maker. Built to give you the function of a modern sectional door with the Old World charm of a traditional wooden carriage door. Design series run from the 1000s through the 8000s, with named styles including Napa, Montecito, Ojai, Savannah, Pasadena, and Santorini.
Steel sectional doors for contemporary architecture, in three models: Prime, UniTherm, and UniPro. Available across a range of textures, colors, and panel designs, from contemporary finishes through to natural wood tones.
Handcrafted to the specifications of the architect, builder, or homeowner, these doors combine the warmth of wood with the cool tone of steel. The one to reach for when the house has a specific architectural brief to meet.
The finishing touch that gives a custom garage door its character. Choose from a range of decorative handles, hinges, clavos, straps, and other hardware styles designed to complement traditional, rustic, Mediterranean, and contemporary doors.

What San Diego County homeowners say
A 5.0 rating from more than 1,000 verified customers across Google and Yelp.
Door Dorks are one of the most honest companies I have done business with for our home…Nathan fixed everything the door needed and was very nice and professional explaining everything. This type of honesty and integrity is hard to find!! I highly recommend Nathan and Door dorks for your garage door needs!
-Sharon C.Our garage door spring recently broke. I love DIY projects, but not this job. We asked our neighbors and many recommended Door Dorks. We couldn’t have been more pleased. Nathan was the tech that came out to fix our spring. Nathan was friendly and got the job done in less than 2 hrs. Thanks Nathan and Door Dorks for a job well done!
-Kevin S.My old wood garage door was in need of an update and so, of course, I called Door Dorks and I can’t be happier! My existing wood door was an odd size and Gina measured, used creative thinking, and found me a perfect door. Matt did a flawless install, very professional, and I’m very pleased. Very fair price and no upselling for things I don’t need. You need to pick Door Dorks!
-Michael M.Charlie and Brandon did a great job. Plus the sales team was helpful getting me exactly what I wanted. The new door matches my existing door. The opener works with my home automation. Install team arrive exactly when promised, was friendly, and got the job done. When they completed, they showed me how everything worked. Great Job.
-William P.Nathan let us know his arrival time, then arrived on time, diagnosed the issue quickly and showed us our options, including all costs. The repair was done right, and he had all the parts with him that he needed. He also fixed another issue for a reasonable cost that could have ruined our door prematurely. We used Door Dorks 8 years ago, and will use them next time we need any garage door issue resolved!
-Sid T.Over the years I have used them, my experience with Door Dorks has alway been excellent. This time office staff tried to help me trouble shoot my problem over the phone. When that didn’t solve the problem, they came out the next morning. Adam arrived when he said he would. Kept me informed as to his progress, was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Repaired the faulty part and did a complete check and service of my garage door. I’m completely happy. Would give more stars if possible.
-Sue T.Our garage door was making more noise than usual and given past experience, I knew Door Dorks was the right company to help. I was able to get an appointment next day and the technician (Adam) was extremely helpful at walking us through the options of what we needed to do vs. could do if we wanted to be proactive. Highly recommend these guys for any garage door service needs you have.
-Nick H.Nathan communicated with me about when he would arrive, gave me a fair quote, and finished his work efficiently. We had another door company out for an estimate the day before Nathan came out, and he wanted to charge us double what Door Dorks quoted. Then he came down on his price repeatedly when we balked. Door dorks was a much better process.
-Matt S.We just had Door Dorks install a new garage door and motor at our home. We were very pleased with the customer service and professionalism of everyone on the team from Gina (the person that helped us order and select our door and motor), to Nathan (the tech that took measurements and brought samples so we could select the texture and color of the door), Brandon (the tech that helped with the demo and install of our new door and motor, and Charlie (the tech that installed, set up the door and motor, and did the finale walk through). Everyone did what they promised to do, I highly recommend using this company for your garage door needs. My neighbors keep asking about our new door and motor, because the door and motor are a big upgrade to our curb appeal.
-Stephanie D.Huge thank you for the fast, professional care Door Dorks provided at my parents’ home! I requested a quote over Yelp and their response was well within the 10 min average response time. From the Yelp and phone conversations I had with their staff and Adam who was able to come out same day provided additional relief knowing we could have the home secured right away. Adam was efficient, professional, and personable during the whole process from diagnosing the issue to being able to jump right into the repair. From my first inquiry to a finished repair, the whole process took approximately 3 hours and I couldn’t be happier to know that we wouldn’t have to prolong this repair past 24 hours from the break happening.
-Stephanie O.The 2 service men that came out to our house to install our new garage door were amazing guys. Brandon and Charlie knew exactly what they were doing with no hesitation. Once they removed our heavy old broken wood door they replaced it with a beautiful new door. The gentlemen were very friendly down to earth and installed out door in less than 2.5 hours. The fact that they did not leave until the door was properly installed was amazing. These guys are trust worthy hard working door dorks. Thank you Brandon and Charlie!

Good to know
Carriage House Door is a custom door manufacturer specializing in high-end handcrafted wood garage doors and contemporary modern doors. Their Wood Collection pairs the function of a modern sectional door with the Old World charm of a traditional wooden carriage door, and their Modern Collection is a range of steel sectional doors for contemporary homes. Door Dorks designs, installs, and services them across San Diego County.
Because every door is built to order, the price depends on the collection, the material, the size, the windows, and the design. We give you an exact written price after a free consultation, and we offer financing so you can spread the cost.
The Wood Collection is the flagship handcrafted wood range, with design series from the 1000s through the 8000s and named styles including Napa, Montecito, Ojai, Savannah, Pasadena, and Santorini. The Modern Collection covers steel sectional doors in three models, Prime, UniTherm, and UniPro. There are also contemporary, steel, and swing and slide doors, plus matching gates, shutters, and decorative hardware.
Most are sectional overhead doors styled to look like they swing, so they keep the classic appearance while working with a standard opener. Genuine swing and slide doors are also made, built in one section or divided into two pieces for a time-period-correct opening, and we can talk through both.
That is the point of a built-to-order door. Because the panel design, windows, finish, and hardware are all chosen for your house, the range covers everything from Spanish, ranch, and farmhouse through to fully modern homes. We help you match it in the consultation.
