Custom Wood Veneer Doors
We craft premium wood veneer doors using high-quality materials and precise manufacturing techniques. These doors can be customized with various wood species, finishes, and design elements including cutouts and inlays. Each door maintains structural integrity while offering aesthetic flexibility for both residential and commercial applications.
Fire-Rated Doors
Our fire-rated doors meet strict safety requirements with 20-minute to 90-minute fire protection ratings. Constructed using Agrifiber or mineral core materials, these doors combine safety compliance with architectural quality. We provide both positive and neutral pressure configurations for different installation requirements.
Solid Core Doors
We manufacture durable solid core doors using particle board, Timberstrand, or stave core materials. These doors offer superior strength and stability for both interior and exterior applications. Our NAUF (no added urea formaldehyde) options meet environmental standards for sensitive building environments.
Hollow Core Doors
Our reinforced hollow core doors combine lighter weight with structural integrity for applications requiring weight savings. Constructed with solid wood stiles and rails, these doors use honeycomb or polystyrene cores to maintain rigidity while reducing overall weight for easier installation.
Plastic Laminate Doors
Commercial-grade plastic laminate doors provide durable, low-maintenance solutions for high-traffic areas. Available in multiple configurations, these doors combine functional performance with aesthetic options while maintaining structural stability and ease of installation.

Report
I have used this company for years, but I'm very perturbed by the management of this company. I think that they are having financial issues as of late. I myself have had financial difficulties but I've never refused business from a loyal customer who had always been on time except for a couple of jobs. They quit taking my order or refused to bid anything now. I've never beat them out of any money. Be careful of this company
