Solid Wood Doors

Don't Take Our 

Word for it...

It can be difficult finding craftsmen who can work with an old home, but Chris did a great job building a brand new front door that looks like it has been there since my house was built. He listened carefully to my concerns and goals, inspected the intact bits that were to be replicated, and created exactly what we discussed. Top notch communication and response times, even when setbacks happened- he is the one contractor thus far who has kept me in the loop without issue. Looking forward to future projects!

Sarah U., Baltimore, MD

I wanted our entry to feel like it belonged on a 100-year old farmhouse because it does. The team at ACS sourced reclaimed wood from a local barn and built a solid white oak door that looks like it's been here forever. It's a door with soul.

Eric., Shepherdstown, WV

We were impressed with Chris’ work from start to finish. He is an excellent communicator and skilled woodworker. Aside from building beautiful furniture, he and his team are also timely and extremely thorough and tidy. Would (and already have) recommended.

Jim D., Baltimore, MD

We have a non standard, extra wide entryway, and nobody could find a door that fit unless we wanted to rip out the frame and start over. ACS Woodshop took exact measurements, designed a door and matching sidelites to fit perfectly, and even matched the existing trim so it looks original. The whole process was personal, and the result is stunning. The amount of natural light we get now has changed the whole space.

Welcome to the Last Door
You'll Ever Need

At ACS Woodshop, we build solid wood doors that stand apart-from the moment you open them.

Your entryway is the first and most lasting impression your home makes. But mass-market doors? They fall short. Veneers peel. Cores crack. Shapes warp. And the charm? Nonexistent.

​

That's why discerning homeowners across DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland, and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia come to us: to create bold, beautiful, authentic solid wood doors worthy of the homes they protect.

The Problem with "Premium" Doors Today

Premium should mean more then a price tag-but too often, it doesn't.

Many so-called high-end doors are engineered to look impressive-until you live with them. Beneath the glossy marketing, you'll find:

  • Thin veneers over foam or MDF cores

  • Hollow sound and weightless feel

  • Joinery designed for assembly lines, not architecture

  • Finishes that fade, peel, or crack within a few seasons

​"We paid for 'custom craftsmanship' and got laminated disappointment."

"It looked great on the showroom floor-but couldn't handle real weather or wear."

"Every time we closed it, it felt wrong-like a shortcut pretending to be quality."

This isn't just about aesthetics. It's about trust. Longevity. Presence.

​

At ACS Woodshop, we craft doors that feel right the moment you touch them-solid, balanced, and honest. Doors built to last, not just through the warranty.

Because when you open a door hundreds of times a year, you should feel Premium every single time.

Premium Solid Wood Doors Built the Right Way

Premium Solid Wood Doors,
Built the Right Way

At ACS Woodshop, we don't imitate premium-we built it from the inside out. 

​

Every door we craft begins with real hardwood-sapele mahogany, white oak, walnut, or reclaimed timber-chosen for grain, stability, and regional durability. Then we pair it with joinery techniques that have stood the test of time, using mortise-and-tenon construction for strength, movement control, and long-term alignment.

We seal every surface-all six sides-with finishes designed for our Mid-Atlantic climate: UV-blocking, moisture-resistant, and low in VOCs. And every design is fully customized-from the profile to the dimensions to the finish tone-to fit your home and your personal aesthetic perfectly.

We don't cut corners. We cut wood. By hand. With care.
