Custom entry doorway
Simpson doors 21

A door with two sidelights. Exterior sight.

 

A door with two sidelights replacement for entry door way.

My client at ‘Moon Valley’ a part of Phoenix city, called me after her house got broken in.
They actually broke the door bottom panel and crawled in.

Before she called me, she spoke with her insurance and they told her to find someone to fix the broken panel.

I told her, to fix the panel will look like  a patch work.
I told her she needs to replace the entire entry way, door, sidelight, frame and trim. Just replacing the door will not match the existing 100%.

I gave her a bid for a turn key job, she accepted it and so did her insurance.

I ordered the door and sidelights from Simpson Doors.
The rest was on me, I had to buy the lumber for the frame work, trim and hardware.

 

Simson doors 12

A door and two sidelights. Interior sight

I put it all together in my shop, applied stain and finish coat.
The doors are made of Douglas fir and dual safety glass.
Between the glass sheets there is a true wrote iron design.

The demolition and the installation took one day.

My clients loves the results.

  49. I like how it looks in the inside!Overall, it is a very well made door!

  55. wow now thats what i call a good set of doors 🙂

  56. Looks awesome! Great work man!

  57. I really like the designs on the glass! Very pretty!

  58. Not only do a job but going further helping the owner to see the final product before it done. Making sure all the surround comes together as one piece and not just a mending. Great Job!

  59. Love the door. Love the decoration on/in the glass. It reminds me of something that is antique.

  60. I'm with Terry , where's the before pic! I love seeing those, but this is a wonderful door. Pretty

  61. I really love the interior. From the outside it didn't look that great to me but once I saw the inside I said "wow!". You did a great job!

  62. What beautiful doors. I keep getting great ideas for my new house

  63. Looks like outstanding workmanship!

  64. I completely understand why your clients are so pleased. Not only do you have innovative ideas, your craftsmanship appears very superior. Great work!

  65. Wow that is beautiful. I am always nervous to have glass in my front door because I am afraid someone will break in that way. I guess I never though of someone breaking out the panel.

  66. Really nice work here Dov. I like how much light comes in through

  67. Wow, Nice work! I love that door so much.

  68. I love them too. Your client is lucky to have found you!

  69. Looks great!!

  70. Talk about curb appeal… WOW!

  71. I really like that stain color as well as the glass. Great job!

  72. The end result is beautiful. Love your posts! You do some amazing wood work!

  73. Really nice craftsmanship and design by Shapira Builders

  74. I LOVE her doorway. It sucks that it was a break-in that caused her to have to replace the doors but it looks beautiful. I'm not sure how warding off these doors will be from burglary but they look great.

  75. wow, that's quick installation! love the craftsmanship!

  76. This is what I dream about owning my own home! A doorway just like this! I hope one day I can have it!

  77. Absolutely gorgeous!! I wish I could have a door like that. My entry way is similar, with the two side windows. Maybe I can talk my landlord into it LOL

  78. It's fantastic that you could do most of the work at your shop rather than having to do it at the client's home. I love the results. The color of the wood goes so well with the glass.

  79. This looks amazing. These window are common in Texas and people usually put shutters on them since they are clear. What a great option!

  80. You do amazing work. Such a welcoming statement… and done in 1 day?!

  81. Your front door introduces you to the people who come to your house. Make it a great introduction… like these people did!

  82. That is beautiful! I would love to have a door like this for my house!

  83. i really like the big picture window at the top..

  84. this is beautiful Dov!!! This would be perfect for our home!!

  85. Wow what a beautiful doorway! x

  86. It's stunning!

  87. Wish to borrow your carpentry expertise! I looked for doors like this in Lowe's and my, what huge bucks! Yours is like magic!

  88. that lets in some great light. nice!

  89. That is absolutely gorgeous!

  90. Love this!

  91. Beautiful doors but with all that glass I'm surprised the bugler didn't just bust it out.

  92. Very beautiful 😀 I love how I imagine the light streaming in.

  93. I don't blame her for loving these doors, it's a beautiful entranceway! Well done!

  94. Our main entrance door is very similar to this one but in white. I love the side windows.

  95. Well darn… where is the before picture. The finished product turned out beautiful.

  96. OH wow this is so cool, you're really talented!

  97. Wow, I love the look of that from the inside. Personally, I prefer the bright color doors over wood, but this is a gorgeous job! Your client totally got a door-upgrade! =D
