The Design & Manufacturing Process

Since 1978 J.S. Benson Woodworking & Design has successfully served nearly 150 clients. Here, by and large, is how the process goes.

Estimating Costs: To start an estimate for custom doors or windows, we need to talk to you about quantities and sizes. We will also need you to specify certain options such as hardware finish, glazing type, wood species, screens, and any other important specifications.

Designing: We work with your architect and builder to coordinate aesthetic details with practical design considerations. We can send CAD drawings electronically to expedite the design approvals.

Manufacturing: Our broad knowledge of wood, hardware, finishing systems, and architectural history allows us to build an extremely durable product. Down to the most intricate hardware detail, every aspect of our work is tailored to perform above the expectations of our discriminating clientele.

Installation is not included in the price of our packages.

Guarantees: Cabot guarantees their 3-part finishing system (which we use) for 15 years. Our glass manufacturer guarantees insulated units for 10 years. In addition, we guarantee our windows and doors for 5 years.
