As a truly custom door maker our product offering is born from the imagination of our clients. As a result it would appear best represented as a tree with ideas branching out from other ideas. This page is meant not only to show some of our work but mainly to help the architect or designer realize that we can help bring their ideas into reality.

Walker Warner Architects - Cello Maudru Construction
   In pre-hung traditional pairs or singles, divided lite or full lite, standard locking, multi-point, cremone bolts, or something new completely, inswing, outswing, with or without screens...

   Increasingly popular, corner units can meet at 90 degrees or other angles, and while a bit challenging to produce, they certainly add to the overall design of a space.

Chesmore Buck Architects - Dykstra Construction


   These European hardware systems can access large openings and perform very well in high exposure areas. They can be configured like a standard sliding door or made to pocket. Whether glass-only, screened, or shuttered, the Lift and Slide door opens spaces to the outdoors unlike anything else can.

   We have been building these doors for years and our customers never seem to run out of ways to incorporate them into their projects. We invite the challenges of the architect and are often complimented on the collaborative achievement.

   A unique way to hang a large door with either infloor auto closers or a simple manual touch. We've built them as singles and pairs, and this system has proven to be a pleasing way to open a door.   back to top

   You could say our business grew because of the entry door. The early years from furniture to entry doors brought the craftsmanship that we've prided ourselves on since. And because the entry can often be a statement about the entire home this work has always seemed to warrant special attention.   back to top

Jim Guard Architect - Steve Cutting Const.


   Not often, but on occasion we are asked to build doors that are curved in plan view. One suggestion, keep the radius large, even slight curves are quite noticable.   back to top

   For the entire home or just those special places, we build your doors to your needs, using the same strict standards of quality you'll find in our exterior doors. Type 1 glues, mortise and tenon construction, jambs that interlock at the head and are securely screwed together.   back to top

 "As a repeat customer of NorthStar Woodworks, I feel qualified to describe their work. My further qualifications come from my work history as an art director as well as the owner of a product development and engineering company where details in execution make the difference between good...excellent..or elegant.

The work from NorthStar Woodworks is elegant. And their attention to detail is not limited to their product but has always extended into the manner in which they have dealt with me as a customer.

I give them the highest recommendation possible."

Donald J. Stern, Homeowner



   Large sliding doors offer a dramatic way to open a space where exposure to weather is not as critical.

   We can also build garage doors that swing out, tilt-up or roll-up, all with the same unmistakable quality inherent throughout the project.   back to top
