We enjoy working with our customers and listening to the stories behind their project designs.  

About a year ago, at one of our home shows, a couple came up and told us they had read an article about us several years earlier.  The article featured one of our plank doors, the Milligan (see this door under our Plank Doors tab) and the couple told us this was their dream entry.  They whipped that newspaper article out to show us that photo and that began their project. 

The Milligan is a beautiful plank door with full surround sidelights. It is Mediterranean in style, including the clavos, straps grill and entry hardware.  Our new customers wanted the same design style but did not want to tear out the existing brickwork around their current entry.

As with all retrofit projects, the existing opening can be tricky for some designs. Before the initial design process is complete, on local jobs, we go to the house and remove the inside trim to expose the framing of the house to insure our new entrance will fit properly.  For out of state jobs, we work closely with the builder/installer to achieve this same goal. 

The Milligan design was modified to work with the existing brickwork and the result was an absolutely beautiful entry.  Click on our Before and After Photos tab to see the Scurry before and after photos.
