Q & A

Do you have finished pieces in stock ready to buy?

No, we specialize in custom builds made just for you and your specific design dreams. Made to order, built to fit. 

Can I purchase the displayed pieces in your storefront?

We do not operate as a storefront, but as a gallery space. The pieces on display are for your inspiration. If you wish, we will gladly custom make a replica to fit your space!

Who designs your work?

Weather you come to us with a specific plan, or a loose concept, our Laguna Beach Lead Designer Alejandra Adame will creatively find solutions to your taste and style. 

How do your gates hold up exposed to the elements?

With our years of experience, we have developed a precise method of choosing specialized lumber and finishes for each custom gate, along with a comprehensive yearly maintenance guide to ensure long-lasting durability.

Are your doors and gates pre-hung and finished?

Yes, we specialize in providing the best service for each custom order. If desired, we can provide slab only doors (no posts or door jamb). We can also provide a stain-grade door if you wish to use your own finish! We will meet your needs.

Do I need to do maintenance on my entry door?

If it is fully shaded, monthly cleaning as with your fine furniture is enough. A fine cotton cloth for dusting, and every 4-6 months a light application of high-end oil (applied from the cloth, never directly onto the wood) is sufficient.

If it faces direct sun exposure, it may require yearly maintenance on the outside face to aid longevity. Our Rustic 101 care guide is given to you with your custom order.

Can I have a lock on my pedestrian or driveway gate?

Yes, we provide locks. Security is of utmost importance.
