If your garage door company serves Decatur, you know the city notices detail — and a real wood carriage door gets the detail right for your customers. Carriage Door Creations builds custom wood carriage doors to order at our shop at 1800 Macleod Dr Suite G in Lawrenceville, GA, and supplies garage door companies across the Southeast. Custom carriage doors, built for your company. Call 678-926-3404 to set up supply.
Walk from Decatur Square through Winnona Park or Oakhurst and you see why period correctness matters to the homeowners your company serves. Craftsman bungalows with tapered columns and exposed rafter tails, historic homes on quiet, tree-canopied streets, porches that were built to be used. Many of these houses were designed before a garage was part of the plan at all, or with a small carriage-style outbuilding out back. When a garage door is added or replaced today, it has to earn its place in that architecture — not just fill a hole. A dealer who can offer a built-to-order wood door has the right answer for that customer.
Real Hardwood for Craftsman Bungalows and Historic Homes
Our wood line uses real hardwood overlays — Clear Cedar, White Oak, Mahogany, and Knotty Pine — handcrafted over a 2" thick foam-insulated steel-back panel. That construction gives your customer authentic wood on the face, where they see and feel it, with the stability and insulation of a steel-back core behind it. It's a deliberate answer for Decatur: the look and material honesty a historic home calls for, without building a solid, uninsulated slab that fights the Georgia humidity and temperature swings.
Design matters as much as material. A bungalow in Winnona Park might call for vertical boards, a simple crossbuck, and small divided windows that line up with the house. A larger historic home near Mason Mill Park or in the Emory University area might support a taller, more formal divided pattern. We work that out with you on paper first — CAD drawings are provided for your customer's design review and approval before we build, so panel divisions, window placement, and hardware can be checked against photos of their house.
Garages on Alleys, Side Streets, and Scott Boulevard Lots
Decatur garages rarely sit in one predictable spot. Some face Scott Boulevard or Clairmont Road head-on. Others tuck behind the house off an alley, sit under a later addition, or stand alone at the back of a deep lot off Ponce de Leon Avenue. Custom sizing is often the whole job — older openings are not always standard, and a built-to-order door lets your company fit the real opening you measured instead of forcing the house to fit a stock size.
For customers restoring a detached garage or rebuilding one to match a bungalow, we can design the door as part of that small building — proportions, trim color, and finish considered together — so the finished structure looks original to the property.
If a full wood door is more than a particular project needs, our single overlay carriage doors offer a lower-maintenance way to keep the carriage character, and your company can talk through both lines with the customer and let us build whichever fits.
How It Works for Dealers
Start with a dealer consult by phone. You measure the opening, sell the job, and spec it; we design the door with you and provide CAD drawings for your customer's approval. Then we build it to order in our Lawrenceville shop, by a team that works on carriage doors exclusively. Pick up at our Lawrenceville shop, or we can ship via freight. Your crews install it — especially valuable on older garages where openings have settled and a custom door needs careful fitting by the dealer who measured it.
Why Choose Carriage Door Creations
We understand that in Decatur, "close enough" isn't the standard your customers are holding. For a garage door company, we provide a custom wood line without a woodshop of your own: CAD-backed selling with drawings before we build, real hardwood over an insulated core, sizing to your customer's actual opening, and a manufacturer in Lawrenceville supplying dealers across the Southeast. For a craftsman bungalow or historic home where the garage has to belong, that's the right way to do it.
