San Marino is one of Southern California's most established luxury residential communities, with substantial estate homes in traditional, Mediterranean, and English Tudor vocabularies. Most San Marino homes are large (3,500-10,000+ sq ft) and have architectural significance that should be respected in door projects. We work with San Marino clients on doors appropriate for the city's traditional luxury standard.

Traditional estate doors
San Marino has maintained one of the most consistent traditional architectural standards in LA County. The dominant vocabularies are Spanish Revival, traditional/Colonial Revival, Mediterranean, and English Tudor estates. Modern construction is rare and generally restrained when present. Door selection for San Marino homes should respect this traditional standard — modern minimalism applied to a San Marino estate reads as architecturally wrong, not bold.
For traditional San Marino estates, we specify doors that match the architectural vocabulary: solid wood (mahogany, alder, white oak) with appropriate panel construction, decorative iron, period-correct glass treatments (sometimes leaded or stained glass), and hardware in traditional finishes (oil-rubbed bronze, antique brass, hand-forged iron). Doors are typically 80-96 inches with proportionally appropriate surrounds.
San Marino estate projects often involve substantial scope — primary residence, guest house, pool house, sometimes multiple outbuildings, all needing coordinated door specifications. Total door budgets for San Marino primary residence projects typically $30,000-$120,000+, with larger estates running higher.
Most San Marino projects come through architects and general contractors. We integrate into project teams early — kickoff at our showroom, shop drawings within 5-7 business days, ongoing coordination through fabrication and install. Lead times for fully custom traditional doors typically run 10-16 weeks.
The fastest way to start a San Marino door project is a 30-minute showroom consultation. For homes outside our typical schedule range, a $199 home visit consultation is available (credited toward your final order).
