We decided this summer that we wanted to replace our old glass bi-fold doors with barn doors. Little did I know that my google search would end up at Jon Dorr Custom Barn Doors. I contacted them and heard back right away. Jon and Debora were so amazing. They came to my house in a few days to take measurements, we looked at photos, and they gave us an estimate. We needed two doors, around 60x80 each door.
The estimate was reasonable. We chose a door from their many photos of beautiful doors and picked a beautiful warm coffee colored stain. The install went amazing, only took a morning, and the finished

What an amazing experience we had with Jon Dorr doors. Our barn door is custom and made to fit a 9ft x 55 inch opening on our home. I appreciate from the moment, Jon and his wife Deborah personally came to our home and listened to what we wanted, then came up with a special design. Hand scraped herringbone pattern. IT IS STUNNING!! They were timely and communicated along the way. Im actually surprised they keep their prices reasonable for a custom door. Jon and his partner take pride in their installation also. I highly recommend them

I contacted Jon and Deb to build two custom doors last summer. My exact request was: 2 identical doors to cover a 58"x 84" opening, using bypass track. Deb was quick to respond and set up an appointment to come out and measure the opening themselves, which was a requirement for their custom doors and installation. They determined I would need 2 doors approximately 83.5" high and convinced me to utilize a double track as opposed to a bypass track. Seeing as how I have installed exactly 0 barn doors in my life and this is Jon and Deb's business, I accepted their advice and

This is an overdue review for the creation of a sliding door for our Portland home. Despite having to schedule around our travels where we were often remote, plus the pandemic, Jon & Deb were wonderful and easy to work with. Not only did they help us pick out the door and stain that would work best for our space, but they also helped us find the perfect hardware solution that would keep noise to a minimum. We couldn't be more delighted by how the door turned out! I'd recommend them again and again.
