A Welcoming Entry

When approaching a home for the first time the one thing that is sure to send a statement about that home is the Entry Doors.  Often the door will reflect the style of the home, dictate feel of the home and offer a sense of craftsmanship.  At Daniel DeVol Custom Builder we feel strongly about making the Entry Doors a focal point of our homes and make each door unique for the client.

We achieve this in one simple way, each one of our Entry Doors is custom designed and built for that home and for that client. The doors are custom built by DeVol Millwork  which is owned by my older brother Mark. His millwork shop has a combination of “state of the art” woodworking equipment along with some “timeless” woodworking pieces and is located in Knoxville Tennessee.

The initial design is typically provided by the Architect and can be modified by DeVol Millwork’s design team.  Standard widths for most exterior doors are just 36” so when the plan allows for we try to make the width of the door at least 3’ 6” and the thickness of the door a full 2 ¼”. Another nice feature of the doors is the solid Mahogany threshold as opposed to a standard aluminum threshold.

At Daniel DeVol Custom Builder we are committed to designing and building a custom home that executes fine woodworking details and that often starts with the Entry Door.
