New Door Installation October 2023 · La Jolla · Job № 198
Elegant Western Red Cedar Doors, La Jolla
Two custom Western red cedar carriage doors installed on a coastal La Jolla home — matched grain, sealed against the marine air.
The homeowners wanted real wood — not a wood-look steel door — to match the craftsman detailing on the rest of the house. We sourced two Western red cedar carriage-style doors, matched the grain across both bays, and sealed them for the La Jolla marine climate.
What we did
- Measured both openings and confirmed headroom for the carriage hardware
- Hung two solid cedar doors with matched grain orientation
- Installed quiet nylon rollers and new galvanized tracks
- Sealed and weather-stripped against salt air and coastal moisture
The result
A pair of doors that look like they were always part of the house — and a balance check that means the openers barely have to work.
