For many homes, a standard raised-panel door just doesn’t fit. Historic houses, custom builds and homes with strong architectural character often look best with a carriage house or custom wood garage door. Partridge Door Company offers multiple lines of customizable garage doors, including carriage house garage doors with windows and a classic swing-out look, and installs custom garage doors in Jackson, Clinton and across central Mississippi.
What is a carriage house garage door?
Carriage house doors take their style from the swing-out doors of old carriage barns. You’ll see vertical boards, decorative cross bracing, arched or square windows, and handles and hinges that look like they belong on a barn door. Modern carriage house doors usually open overhead like any other sectional garage door. You get the classic look with everyday convenience and an automatic opener.

Wood vs. steel and composite carriage doors
Real wood has warmth and character that’s hard to match, and it can be stained to show the grain or painted to match your trim. It does need care. Keep the finish up so the wood isn’t damaged by Mississippi humidity and sun.
Steel or composite carriage-style doors copy the look of wood with less upkeep, and many are insulated. They’re a popular choice for homeowners who want the style without refinishing. → Insulated Garage Doors
We’ll go over the tradeoffs during your free estimate so you can choose what fits your home and how much maintenance you want to do.
Design it before you buy
Use our Amarr Door Designer to see carriage house and custom styles on a photo of your own home. Try different colors, window patterns and hardware, then call us to measure and quote the door you like.
Installation and service
Custom and wood doors are often heavier than standard steel doors, so correct spring sizing and a properly matched opener are essential. When we install your door, we size the springs to its actual weight, balance it carefully and pair it with a suitable Genie, LiftMaster or Linear opener if needed. We also service carriage house doors after installation, including broken springs, rollers and hardware, and openers.
Where carriage house doors shine
We see strong demand for carriage house and custom doors around historic districts and established neighborhoods, like near Olde Towne in Clinton, older parts of Jackson, Raymond and Vicksburg, and in custom-home communities in Madison. We install them throughout our service area.
Custom garage door FAQ
Do carriage house garage doors swing open?
Most modern carriage house doors roll up overhead like a standard sectional door. They just look like swing-out doors.
Are wood garage doors a good choice in Mississippi?
They can be, with regular maintenance. Keeping the paint or stain in good condition protects the wood from humidity and sun. If you’d rather not maintain wood, a steel or composite carriage-style door gives a similar look.
Can a carriage house door have an automatic opener?
Yes. We install Genie, LiftMaster and Linear openers matched to the weight of your door.
Do you offer free estimates on custom doors?
Yes. Call (601) 372-4874 or request an estimate.
How much do carriage house garage doors cost?
It depends on the material (steel, composite or wood), size, insulation, windows and decorative hardware. Real wood and composite overlay doors generally cost more than stamped steel. We’ll price options side by side during a free estimate.
Are steel carriage house doors insulated?
Many are. Steel carriage house lines from Amarr, Clopay, C.H.I. and Wayne Dalton offer insulated options, which help in Mississippi’s heat and make the door quieter.
Is your work covered by a warranty?
Yes. All of our products and services come with a 1-year warranty, followed by the manufacturers’ warranties.
