History of our Company

Doors by Decora was founded by John Smith in 1968, the second in three generations of master craftsmen. It is currently owned by the Charles Jones family who has owned and operated a successful stained glass business for many years.

Doors By Decora is the culmination of three generations of craftsmen whose attention to design, detail and quality have resulted in Decora doors being proudly used by Home Owners, Builders and Architects spanning the United States.

Doors by Decora is proud of being a family owned business where every job we receive is personal and every step in the process shows how much we care. That's why our end products exhibit elegance, quality and dedication to serving our customers. We maintain over forty standard styles of doors to suit virtually every need. Every door is custom built to your order enabling us to invite the challenge of custom designs and sizes.

Our complete staff of glass artisans can provide beveled, stained, or etched glass for your entranceway. We also custom build stained glass windows to fit, for example, bathrooms, garden tub areas or church windows.

Decora Doors are handcrafted from the finest quality kiln dried hardwoods available. Choices include pattern grade Honduran Mahogany, Northern Red Oak, Ash, Maple or other requested hardwoods. Paint grade doors are also made of hardwood such as Poplar , rather than pine or fir for lasting durability. Warping and splitting are virtually eliminated by selecting each piece of wood for proper grain and insuring the moisture content of the wood is maintained between 6% and 8%.

We skillfully blend beauty and durability in developing our "Continuous Oval Section". This continuous section is an oval frame made from six individual pieces of wood and matching them into an oval. Because of this method, weak points that often cause splits at the top and bottom of ovals in other doors are eliminated in ours. Construction of this type is only done by hand and results in having as many as eighty-eight pieces of wood in one Decora Oval Door.

We take pride in the fact that through the years our innovations have succesfully redefined the standards of quality doors."

Doors By Decora builds all of its stile and rail doors using cope and stick joinery. The use of 3/4" X 4 3/4" fluted hardwood dowels allow our exterior water proof glue to flow the entire length of each dowel. This type of joinery takes considerably more time but provides the strongest possible joints. All door components are solid hardwood. There are no cores or veneers used in a Decora door. We are able to prevent cupping of oak and similar woods by using our special laminating method of ripping, reversing the grain and edge gluing the wood. All doors have our standard raised molding on both sides. Other molding options are available such as fluted, ledge, dental, rosettes, keystones, and column tops. Our door styles are available open for glass, with glass, or solid wood. Options are also available to accomodate insulated glass up to 1" thick. Another new design from Decora is our "stain seep". This curved edge on both our fixed and removable stop allows stain to seep behind this stop and eliminates raw wood showing when raised panels expand and contract.

Builders, Architects, Designers, and Home Owners like our ability to do the "complete job". We build jambs, sidelites, and transoms along with custom glass designs. We can pre-hang the door, cut for and provide mortise or cylinder type hardware. We can also stain and finish your entranceway, ship it ready to install in the wall or do the complete installation in our service area. Doors By Decora is truly a ""One Stop Door Shop".
