Custom Handcrafted Doors & Hardware in Gig Harbor, WA
RealCraft was founded in 2000 by Don Rees, a visionary carpenter disillusioned with the homogeneity of mass-produced homes. Our journey began with handcrafted carriage doors, evolving into a comprehensive range of custom doors, hardware, and home accents. We prioritize genuine materials and traditional techniques, ensuring each product reflects the artistry of its maker. Our team of skilled craftsmen and craftswomen has grown from a one-man operation to a collaborative community dedicated to restoring the relationship between artisan and homeowner.We uphold rigorous quality standards, using solid wood and mortise-and-tenon joinery for enduring durability. Our partnerships with industry leaders like This Old House and Property Brothers underscore our commitment to excellence. With every door sold, we plant a native tree in Oregon, aligning our mission with environmental stewardship while delivering personalized, heirloom-quality creations.
