Squared Away
The Wood Doors We Install
Wood doors are custom by nature, and we help you choose the species, construction, and style that fit your home and your appetite for upkeep.
Cedar and premium hardwoods
Western red cedar is a favorite for its natural beauty and relative stability, while premium hardwoods and mahogany take it up a notch. We help you choose a species that suits your desired look and the Texas climate.
Solid wood vs. wood-clad
A fully solid wood door is the purest version and requires the most upkeep, while a wood-clad or overlay door places real wood over a stable core for added stability. We explain the trade-offs, so you pick with open eyes.
Custom carriage and panel styles
Wood shines in carriage-house and custom paneled designs, with the stain, window inserts, and decorative hardware chosen to match your home. This is where a wood door becomes a true one-of-a-kind piece.
The low-upkeep alternative
If you love the wood look but not the maintenance, we will show you faux-wood steel and composite doors that read like stained cedar from the street and hold up to Texas summers with almost no care. Many homeowners land here, and that is a fine choice.

Keeping a Wood Door Beautiful in Central Texas
Real wood and the Texas climate are in a constant tug-of-war. A wood door can absolutely thrive here, but only if it is finished right up front and maintained on a schedule.
What the sun and humidity do
Ultraviolet light from the sun breaks down an unprotected finish, graying and drying the wood, while seasonal humidity swings cause it to expand and contract, which eventually leads to cracking and warping. A south or west-facing wood door takes the hardest hit.
The finish is everything
A quality exterior finish, applied to all sides and maintained, is what stands between your wood door and the weather. We advise on the finish and the reseal schedule, and a well-cared-for door rewards you with years of beauty.
An honest maintenance rhythm
Plan on cleaning and inspecting the finish regularly and resealing or refinishing every few years, more often on a sun-blasted door. If that rhythm does not fit your life, a faux-wood door is the honest better choice, and we will say so.

Real Wood vs. Faux-Wood: An Honest Comparison
Most homeowners who want the wood look are really choosing between real wood and a faux-wood steel or composite door. Here is the honest trade-off.
Choose real wood if
You want a genuine, custom character; you value authenticity over convenience; and you are willing to maintain the finish on a schedule. On the right home, nothing else looks like it, and it can be worth every bit of the effort.
Choose faux-wood if
You love the look but want to wash it and forget it. Modern faux-wood steel and composite doors read as stained cedar from the street and shrug off the Texas sun, and for most homeowners that trade is the smart one. We install both and will help you choose honestly.
Squared Away
We Service Wood Doors Too, and Every Material
A wood door needs the same mechanical service as any door: springs, cables, rollers, and openers, plus attention to the finish over time. We service wood doors, can advise on refinishing, and handle springs and hardware sized for a heavier custom door.
And your door doesn't have to be made of wood for us to help. We install custom wood and faux-wood doors and service every material, so whatever is on your home now, we can repair it, refresh it, or replace it with the look you want.

Why Buy Your Wood Door From Squared Away
A custom wood door is an investment, and the installation and advice matter as much as the door itself. Here is what you get with us.
Honest before you buy
We will tell you the real upkeep a wood door needs in Texas, and if a faux-wood door fits your life better, we will say so rather than sell you a maintenance project you did not want.
Local and family-run
We work out of Cedar Park, and the owners answer the phone. The crew that hangs your custom door is who you call for service later, not a national chain.
Precise install of a heavy door
Springs sized to a heavy custom door, the balance tuned, the opener set, and a clean garage. A wood door's weight makes a careful install essential, and it is the step we never rush.
Free estimates and financing
Your quote is free and firm, and financing is available, so a custom wood or premium faux-wood door is within reach. No surprises, no pressure.
Straightforward Pricing
Warranty and What a Wood Door Costs
You get two layers of protection: the manufacturer or builder warranty on the door, which varies by custom wood product, plus our own workmanship guarantee for the install. We review the coverage with you before you buy, and every new door we install comes with your choice of a 2-year or 5-year service-and-labor warranty. Note that a wood door's warranty depends heavily on it being finished and maintained as specified.
A custom wood door is among the higher-cost options, and pricing depends on the species, construction, size, and design, while a faux-wood alternative costs less and asks far less of you. We give you a firm written quote at the free estimate; our current promotions can take $100 off a single door or $200 off a double, and financing is available if you would rather spread it out.

FAQ
Wood Garage Door Questions We Hear
Are wood garage doors a good idea in Texas?
+
They can be beautiful, but they ask for commitment. Real wood in the Texas sun and humidity needs a good finish and regular resealing to avoid fading, cracking, and warping. If you love wood and will maintain it, it is worth it; if not, a faux-wood door is the honest better choice.
How much maintenance does a wood door need?
+
Plan to clean and inspect the finish regularly and to reseal or refinish every few years, more often on a sun-facing door. The finish is what protects the wood, so keeping it up is the whole job.
What wood species are best?
+
Western red cedar is a popular choice for its beauty and relative stability, and premium hardwoods and mahogany go further. We help you pick a species that suits the look you want and withstands the Texas climate.
Is a wood door worth the extra cost?
+
For the right homeowner, yes. Nothing matches the character of genuine wood, and on a custom or historic home, it can be worth every dollar and every bit of upkeep. For someone who wants low maintenance, a faux-wood door delivers most of the look for less.
Can I get the wood look without the maintenance?
+
Yes. Faux-wood steel and composite doors read as stained cedar from the street and hold up to Texas summers with almost no care. We install both and will help you choose between them honestly.
Do wood doors need a special opener?
+
They need one sized to the weight. A solid wood door is heavy, so we match and set the opener to its real weight so it drives smoothly and lasts.
Will an HOA allow a wood door?
+
Often yes, but many HOAs and historic districts have design and color guidelines. We help you choose a wood or wood-look design and finish that clears review the first time.
Do you service and refinish wood doors?
+
We service the mechanical parts, springs, cables, rollers, and openers for wood doors and can advise on refinishing to help protect the door. Whether or not we installed it, we can help.
