Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before starting this project.
A carriage house style double door averages $2,600 installed, ranging $1,500 for steel to $6,000+ for real wood. The style refers to the swing-out barn-door look, though most are modern sectional doors. Decorative hardware adds to the total.
Most carriage house doors are sectional doors that roll up overhead but are styled to look like swing-out carriage doors. True swing-out and sliding versions exist but are less common and cost more. The overhead style keeps a familiar, convenient operation.
They come in insulated steel, wood-composite, and solid wood, with steel and composite offering a wood look at lower cost and maintenance. Decorative handles, hinges, and windows complete the look. Material choice is the biggest cost driver.
For traditional, craftsman, and farmhouse-style homes, carriage doors deliver strong curb appeal and resale value. Steel and composite versions provide the look without the maintenance of wood. The premium over a plain panel door is usually modest for the visual payoff.
