Stain Grade Wood Garage Doors

It’s what we like to call #WoodDoorWednesday at Garage Doors Unlimited and we will showing some of our favorite or more recent custom wood garage doors we have done in the San Diego area. We love the custom look at GDU and our wood doors are the bread and butter of what makes our company so unique!

This beauty is a door we did up in the Oceanside area of San Diego. This Mediterranean style wood garage door explores the beautiful distressed look that comes with this style of door. The ornate iron hardware also brings out a European feel that is quite popular in the Southern California neighborhoods.

The recessed panels add a hardy structure to the custom wood garage door. The matching entry gate with filigree iron work softens the the look between the two different doors.

Stain Grade Custom Garage Doors

Wooden Driveway Gate

Happy Monday from GDU! We have decided to call this #MakeanEntranceMonday where we feature all our custom driveway gates, entry gates, and awning windows. We all know the first day back to the grind is a bit rough, so why not add some style??

Today we are showing the exact same gate, but done two different ways. We have the raw version up first. This gate is in it’s most natural form with no treatments or paint added:

Wooden Driveway Gate

The texture of pure wood adds a rustic feel to the exterior of this property while still appearing elegant. The recessed panels and diagonal lines are easily seen in this state.

Our wooden driveway gates can be made to either be stain or paint grade. However, if you prefer to have neither and keep this natural look, let your estimator know and he can get you the options you need!

Up next is the stained version of this gate. Beautiful and simple, but definitely adds an overall different feel to the external view:

This was the final version we created for a customer in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. The stain matches the stone posts attached and gives a very east coast vibe to the final product.

No matter what you are looking for our design consultants can find you options you might have never even thought you wanted! Check out other styles on our website and learn more about getting your free estimate today!
