Custom Wood, Carriage & Glass-and-Aluminum
Custom and Designer Garage Doors in Cedar Park and Greater Austin
In many homes, the garage door is the largest single design element on the front of the house. A custom or designer door is how you make that surface a statement instead of an afterthought. Squared Away designs, builds, and installs custom and designer garage doors across Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, Steiner Ranch, Avery Ranch, Lakeway, and the wider Greater Austin area.
We work in real wood, glass-and-aluminum full-view, carriage-house, and modern flush styles, in custom sizes, colors, glass options, and hardware, so the door matches your home's architecture rather than a catalog page. Because these are built to order, we start with a real design consultation, walk you through materials and details, and handle HOA approval where your neighborhood requires it.
Custom doors start around $3,000 and are typically built in three to six weeks. We install openings up to 20 feet wide. One call gets you a free in-home design consultation, honest guidance on what will look right and hold up in the Texas sun, and a written quote backed by our price-match guarantee.

How a Custom Door Comes Together, Start to Finish
A custom door is a design project, not a stock pull. Here is how we take it from idea to installation.
Straightforward Pricing
How Custom Door Pricing Works
Custom doors are priced according to the design, so the honest answer is that it depends on the door you build. Your design consultation and quote are free, and you approve the written price before anything is ordered.
Free design consultation
There is no charge to meet at your home, walk through your options, and provide a quote for your custom door. You only move forward when the design and price feel right.
What affects your final price
The biggest drivers are material (real wood and full-view glass cost more than faux-wood steel), size, the amount and type of glass, decorative hardware, and the finish. We lay out every line in the written quote so you can see exactly where the cost comes from and adjust the design to your budget.
Specials and financing
Ask about $200 off a double door and $100 off a single. For a custom project, Wisetack financing is available on jobs over $1,500 with a quick online application.

The Difference
Feature
Central Texas Conditions
Designing a Custom Door That Lasts in Central Texas
A beautiful door that fades or warps in two summers is not a good value. This is what we factor into a custom design for Cedar Park, Greater Austin, and the Hill Country.
Intense sun and finish fade
The strong Texas sun is hardest on real wood and dark finishes, especially on south- and west-facing doors. Species choice, finish quality, and stain color all change how a door looks in five years. We steer wood projects toward finishes that hold up and are honest about the refinishing a real-wood door will need here.
Heat and glass choice on full-view doors
A glass-and-aluminum door is stunning, but clear glass in the afternoon sun can turn a garage into a greenhouse and expose whatever is inside. We help you choose tinted, frosted, or insulated glass that maintains a modern look while managing heat and privacy for Central Texas exposure.
HOA architectural review in estate neighborhoods
Upscale communities around Steiner Ranch, Avery Ranch, Lakeway, West Lake Hills, and Sun City almost always require architectural committee approval for a custom door's style, material, and color. We prepare the renderings and specifications your committee expects, so a custom design does not get held up at approval.
Hail and glass durability
Central Texas hail is a real consideration for full-view doors. We can specify tempered or impact-resistant glass so that a designer door stands up to a storm rather than becoming a liability.
Wind in the Hill Country and exposed lots
Homes on open Hill Country lots catch strong storm winds. A custom door can be built wind-load-rated with heavier bracing, so you do not have to trade the look you want for the strength the location needs.
Slab movement and precise fit
Expansive clay soil means an opening can be slightly out of square. Custom doors are less forgiving than stock ones, so precise measurement and a careful install matter even more, ensuring the door seals and runs correctly as the slab moves with the seasons.
Resale in the luxury market
In the Austin-area luxury market, a well-chosen custom door is one of the highest-impact exterior upgrades a home can make. We help you choose a design that reads as an asset to buyers, not a personal taste they will want to change.
FAQ
Custom and Designer Door Questions We Hear
How much does a custom garage door cost?
+
Custom wood, carriage, and glass-and-aluminum doors start around $3,000, and the final price depends on material, size, glass, hardware, and finish. Your design consultation and written quote are free, and we lay out every line so you can adjust the design to your budget.
How long does it take to build a custom door?
+
Custom doors are built to order and typically take three to six weeks, depending on the material and level of detail. We give you a realistic timeline up front and keep you posted through the build.
What materials can I choose from?
+
Real wood such as cedar and mahogany, full-view glass-and-aluminum, sun-resistant faux-wood steel, and insulated custom builds. We help you weigh the look, the maintenance, and the cost of each.
Real wood or faux-wood steel, which is better?
+
It depends on how much upkeep you want. Real wood has unmatched depth and character, but needs periodic refinishing in the Texas sun. Faux-wood steel gives you a very convincing wood look with far less maintenance. We are honest about the trade-off, so you choose with your eyes open.
Do full-view glass doors get too hot or offer no privacy?
+
They can if you pick the wrong glass. Tinted, frosted, and insulated glass keeps the clean modern look while managing heat and privacy for a Central Texas exposure. We help you choose the right glass for the direction your door faces.
Can you match my home's style?
+
That is the heart of what we do. We come to your home, look at the architecture, materials, and color, and design a door that fits your house instead of fighting it. Getting that match right is the whole point of going custom.
Can you build oversized or unusual sizes?
+
Yes. We build and install custom doors up to 20 feet wide, plus RV-height and non-standard openings. We measure precisely and build the door to fit.
Do you handle HOA approval for a custom door?
+
Yes. Estate and custom neighborhoods almost always require architectural committee approval, and we prepare the renderings, photos, and specifications your HOA needs so the design is approved before we order.
Can a custom door be insulated?
+
Yes. Custom doors can be built with insulation for climate control and quiet operation, which is worth it on an attached garage in Central Texas heat. We match the insulation level to how you use the space.
Do you offer financing on a custom door?
+
Yes. Wisetack financing is available for projects over $1,500, with a quick online application and flexible monthly payments, making a custom project easier to plan.
Will a custom door hold up in the Texas sun?
+
With the right material and finish, absolutely. We steer wood projects toward durable finishes and honest refinishing schedules, and we offer faux-wood and quality glass options for the look with less upkeep. The key is choosing the build for your exposure, which is exactly what the consultation is for.
What are the downsides of a full-view glass door?
+
The honest trade-offs are reduced privacy, more heat gain from clear glass, sometimes lower insulation than a solid door, and aluminum frames that can dent from a hard impact. Every one of those is manageable: frosted or tinted glass restores privacy and reduces heat gain, insulated glass helps with temperature and noise, and we can spec tougher glass. We walk you through it so there are no surprises.
How do I care for and clean my custom door?
+
A glass-and-aluminum door cleans up with mild soap and water and a glass-safe cleaner, and the powder-coated frame needs little more. A real-wood door needs periodic refinishing to protect it from the Texas sun, on a schedule we will walk you through for your specific finish. Faux-wood steel splits the difference with a wood look and low upkeep.
Do you warranty custom door installations?
+
Yes. Your installation is backed by a warranty on parts and workmanship, in addition to the manufacturer's warranty for the door. We go over the exact terms with your written quote.
