I had a client come to me in a rush. She needed a custom home built by the end of the month – and only had one week to do so. That’s when I started looking for ways I could help her, because the last thing I wanted was for her to be disappointed with her home. I ended up finding an outlet that sold salvaged windows, which were very affordable and came quickly.Once we got started, my goal wasn’t just to get things done – it was also to make sure they were done right, too. I decided that any solution I found had to abide by all local codes and ordinances as well as look good while doing so. What follows is the story of how she got her custom home in just 5 weeks – even though I thought it wouldn’t be possible at first!

Some homeowners choose to have custom-made doors installed in their homes, which allows them to have any width they desire. This option can be more expensive than buying pre-sized doors that are already available on the market, but it does give the homeowner a lot more flexibility when choosing colors and styles for their new entranceway.

1) Measure the width of your opening at its widest point (the wall where you want your door).
2) Measure the height from the floor to ceiling at this same point.
3) Multiply these two numbers together (width x height). For example: If your opening is 36″ wide x 8′ high = 288 sq ft of glass needed on each side of door frame.*
