Teodoro Brothers Custom Woodworking

Dan and Kris Teodoro of Teodoro Brothers Custom Woodworking, also known as Teodoro Stairs, built an absolutely amazing custom door, sidelights, and entry surround for us! Solid select grade quarter sawn white oak was used to build the door and sidelights. The Door itself weighs approximately 300 lbs without the clavos, lock, or any metal. Four heavy duty hinges were used to support the door to prevent any sagging and allow the door to swing easily. The Door was installed in May 2015. It has lived through, high heat, humidity, rain storms, heavy snow, below zero temps, and hot sun without any problems. Because of the way the door was put together, it contracts and expands as needed. A complex tongue and groove system was used to construct the door. We saw how the pieces were cut to fit and put together and couldn’t believe it was humanly possible to do what they did—you have to see it to believe it. No nails were used to build the door. Special layers of wood were intricately sandwiched inside the door to keep it from warping. The sidelights are constructed the same way and are about as thick as a wall (we wanted windowless sidelights.) Everything fits together perfectly. The doors and sidelights have no drafts and are completely insulated due to the way the wood is put together. Even the door surround is nicer than anything we could have imagined. After the door was built and hung, Dan and Kris built a weather resistant enclosure so that the door would be protected while the painter put a finish on the door. I could go on and on. They thought of everything. Without a doubt, Dan and Kris are world-class craftsmen and artisans, and the nicest people you could ever meet. Their construction methods demand precision. The quality of their work is absolute perfection. Equally important, they have the aesthetic and design talent needed to create a door with the proportions and subtle design elements that were needed to make the door and sidelights work perfectly with both the interior and exterior of our house. Their work transformed our house from nice to WOW! We would like to add that every US Mail, UPS, and Fed-ex delivery person that comes to the door tells us that our door is the nicest door they have ever seen…and they have seen many doors. This is the kind of door that will last lifetimes. Sam and Zenia (Our door is pictured on their website.)
