Seattle’s Doorhouse

I bought several doors here for a handful of renovation projects. This place rocks. Better than good pricing. Quick turnaround. I am especially fond of working with Mary. The guys are great but I look around for her first. She has worked there a long time, knows the stock and knows a great deal about doors and door installation in general. She has stopped me from making some expensive mistakes and helped me veer away from my original design towards a better one. Mary has never been anything but patient. I usually need some strange extra hack and they always «throw it in». BTW some of the doors there are showpieces. Art. Some are just useful and priced well. The place has a family shop kind of feel I really like. One of the things I really like is if they can’t help you– Mary knows all the great local shops in town and can send you someplace else for equally terrific stuff. BTW some of the doors there are showpieces. Art. Some are just useful and priced well. And check out the metal atrium off a side door, I always bring home a some kind of treasure.

(Note that they also go by the name ‘Pacific Iron’ and that’s how they answer their phone, don’t be thrown off)
You wouldn’t know from the exterior that this is a great place for homeowners to shop. I was a bit intimidated walking in but my General Contractor suggested that I could save some money there so I gave them a try.
I ended up walking out with really nice doors that wouldn’t have been available at Home Depot and I still spent less than I initially expected to.
The folks were approachable, helpful and creative, easily handling the quirks of my project and getting me setup. The doors are the most notable part of my remodel. Without their help, I wouldn’t have been able to afford such a cool detail to build around.

Hubby sent me here to pick up doors for a customer. Staff was extremely rude — I would never come back here… Very, very condescending– there are lots of other «door stores»…

Highly recommend this place. Great service at prices much lower than competition. We replaced some hollow core doors with solid wood and were only able to do so because the price here was so reasonable. They took down our old doors, measures for the new ones and now we have wonderful new doors. Great job!

Not sure but things arent going as planned… hmmm… UPDATE
Les was awesome from the start got me a set of custom bifolds to match the doors in my house for us the manufacturer misunderstood and gave us an incorrect quote… which was $ 761 vs the $ 2500 I was quoted from another company. Les called refunded my money immediately after the discovery and hunted down a different manufacturer within 30 minutes… not only was the price lower $ 690, but the door came with the mounting hardware!!! Score!!! Les you ROCK!!! Talk about customer service!!! Update or NOT… so got the doors home they were too short. Reordered the doors, they came in wrong– AGAIN… HMMM ORDER again and yeah doors are finally correct its now April… but alas half the hardware is missing…

Dave, who manages the place seems quite good. If I only dealt with him, I’d give 4 stars based on fairly good service, but slightly unresponsive & needing to call back a few times to check the status of my order.
And then today:
I had a guy who is helping me out with a project go down to pick up my doors. He doesn’t speak English very well, so he had issues explaining that he wanted to pick up my order.
The guy who was working at the time (Wes?), proceeded to give me a lecture on sending someone who doesn’t speak English, saying I should hire Americans.
To be clear:
A. there are plenty of legal immigrants who don’t speak English very well.
B. the entire construction industry is made up of people who primarily speak Spanish (look no further than Lowe’s & Home Depot signage)
C. I’m the customer. My retail experiences shouldn’t involve lectures on American immigration.
He then proceeded to treat my helper terribly.
Doorhouse — you ought to reconsider which individuals you have interacting with your customers.

Here’s all you need to know.
A) It’s called «Doorhouse»
B) They sell doors
C) They sell some other useful construction/​carpentry stuff
D) Review A & B
They sell custom cut solid wood doors and they’re really really good at what they do, and damned fast. Bring in an existing door or measurement, then they tell you to come back for your new door. What else do you need? The head construction/​builder guy – he really knows his stuff. He’s scary good.

We stumbled upon this place after searching the large home improvement stores for closet doors.
The Doorhouse can be kind of intimidating to walk into, but the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable that it’s no big deal. Seriously. Upon entering we were warmly greeted by a women at the counter. We told her what we were looking for and she had all sorts of questions for us, then she brought us to their upstairs section which had used doors. Not only did we find what we were looking for but we found it for half the price! We got a solid, very nice looking, bi-​fold closet door for only $ 20. It was used, but it was in great shape, and they cut it down for us for no additional charge. Bargain!
We will for sure come to this place in the future if we need any type of door. I also noticed they had some flooring materials there too, but a small section.

The sign kind of looks like you should be walking into a crazy «house of mirrors carnival» experience, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect… but once you’re inside, the shop is actually quite nice. A variety of doors are on display in the center of the shop, and doors are neatly stashed along the walls of the shop as far as the eye can see. The lady who was manning the desk when I went by was super friendly and knowledgeable, and let me know that I can get an MDF (solidcore) interior slab door to replace the hollow core doors I have now for ~$ 100 including shop labor to cut the door to size, drill custom holes for the door jamb, door knob, etc. Of course, I’d have to transport, prime, and paint it myself, but frankly I’d rather do that stuff on my own anyway. Those prices beat the box stores and most custom getups by far.
They will even do the labor on a door that you purchase elsewhere and bring in for only $ 25. They say labor takes about an hour AND you can even make an appointment, so you know they’ll be available when you stop by. How perfect!
