An entry door characterizes the soul of the house. It can make a statement about the people who live inside. A beautiful door can welcome visitors, and add value to the home.<\/p>\n

Mike recently had the opportunity to resurface a set of doors in our area, and the result was a warm and welcoming, artistic statement about the couple who live there. The copper doors open to a home filled with light and creativity.<\/p>\n

Mike created a set of copper panels that were carefully crafted to highlight the home\u2019s design and setting. They echo the colors of the canyon that surrounds them.<\/p>\n

The panels were individually attached to the built up surface of the doors with copper nails.<\/p>\n

These doors were heavy, so Mike built a rolling frame for us to move them inside the shop, and outside for finishing and loading. This made turning them manageable for just the two of us. It took three men to unload and install them at the jobsite.<\/p>\n

These copper doors will weather gently with time and withstand the desert heat. They will protect the home and add value. They make a bold statement about the homeowners and the artist who painstakingly revived them.<\/p>\n
