Brainerd Hardwoods

Founded nearly 40 years ago in a modest garage by partners Bruce Paine and Jim Vacinek, Brainerd Hardwoods has grown from humble beginnings into a leading architectural millwork manufacturer in the Lakes area. Our team's early commitment to quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service, even when our machinery was rudimentary by today's standards, laid the foundation for our enduring success.

Today, we offer an extensive inventory of both hardwood and softwood species, allowing us to transform raw materials into top-quality wood products efficiently and effectively. We pride ourselves on our ability to meet the unique needs of each individual project, ensuring that every customer receives the personalized attention and dedication they deserve.

Handcrafted Interior Doors

We understand that interior doors are more than just functional elements; they are statement pieces that create a lasting impression. Our craftsmen, with their deep understanding of traditional woodworking methods, specialize in fabricating superior solid wood doors. Each door is meticulously assembled by hand using stile and rail construction with true mortise and tenon joinery. This time-tested technique not only ensures remarkable strength and durability but also guarantees a beautiful balance and proportion that enhances the elegance of your home.

We offer a wide array of species, sizes, and panel configurations, allowing you to customize your doors to perfectly complement your unique style and design preferences.
