Single Overlay Carriage Garage Doors
The custom carriage look, made attainable — for your customers, and for your lineup. Carriage Door Creations builds real hardwood carriage doors, handcrafted in Lawrenceville, Georgia — Clear Cedar, White Oak, Mahogany, and Knotty Pine — plus single overlay doors with an Extira composite overlay or LP SmartSide back, for garage door companies across the Southeast. Call 678-926-3404 to set up supply.
Not every customer needs a solid hardwood door to get the carriage-house look — and not every job carries a hardwood budget. A single overlay door starts with a strong, insulated base door and builds the carriage design on its face: applied overlay boards and trim that create the frames, crossbucks, and Z-braces of a traditional carriage door. The result is a door with genuine depth and shadow lines, designed around your customer's home, at a more attainable point than full hardwood construction — and with far less upkeep than wood. For a garage door company, that's the volume custom line: the door you can offer on every traditional home in your market, not just the estates.
How a Single Overlay Door Is Built
Each of our single overlay doors starts with a 2-inch thick, steel-back flush panel that is fully foam insulated — structural integrity, durability, and energy efficiency in the core of the door. Onto that base we craft the overlay design in ½-inch Extira composite, a high-performance engineered material made to resist moisture, rot, swelling, and deterioration over time. That combination is the whole idea: the beauty of custom carriage detailing without the maintenance concerns of a traditional wood door. No warping boards, no rotting trim — a painted or finished carriage face that holds up to Southern humidity and summer storms while the insulated core keeps the garage more comfortable year-round. It's a door your crews hang once and your customers don't call you back about.
Two Ways to Build It
• Steel-back with Extira composite overlay — our signature single overlay construction: a 2" insulated steel-back panel with a no-rot, moisture-resistant Extira composite overlay. Low maintenance, long-term durability, and a crisp carriage face.
• Vinyl-back with LP® SmartSide — a more budget-friendly build on a 2" thick insulated vinyl-back panel, finished with LP® SmartSide in a smooth or wood-grain texture. The same carriage-style detailing at a more accessible price point — a strong option for builder-driven work and price-sensitive replacement jobs in your market.
Design Freedom You Can Sell
Because the design is applied to the face, single overlay doors are wide open creatively. Your customers choose the layout that fits their home's architecture: Classic carriage frames with windows across the top section; Z-brace and crossbuck designs with black strap hinges and handles for the full carriage-house effect; Vertical board-and-batten faces for farmhouse and craftsman homes; Clean, modern frame patterns for transitional styles. Single and double doors, standard and custom sizes — every door is built to order for the opening your crew measured, and we draw the design in CAD for your customer's review before the build, so you're selling from their actual door, not a sample board. Full construction detail is on our wholesale page.
How Dealer Ordering Works
1. Measure and spec the job. Send us the design direction.
2. Approve the CAD drawing. We produce CAD drawings for your customer's approval before the build.
3. Pickup in Lawrenceville or freight delivery. The door is built to order in our Lawrenceville shop — pick up at our shop, or we can ship via freight. To talk supply and terms for your market, call 678-926-3404.
Who Single Overlay Is For — In Your Market
Your customers who want the carriage look without a wood door's price or maintenance. The established subdivisions full of 1990s and 2000s homes wearing faded raised-panel doors, where the front elevation is mostly garage. Builders in your area putting carriage character across a neighborhood without a hardwood door on every lot — sold through your company. And when a customer's heart is set on real hardwood grain instead, our custom wood carriage doors come from the same shop on the same insulated construction — many dealers carry both lines and let the job decide.
