Amarr Custom Wood Garage Door
Amarr By Design
Custom Wood
Handcrafted wood carriage doors - custom species, custom design, and one-of-a-kind curb appeal for premium Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, and Paradise Valley homes.
Best for: Fountain Hills, North Scottsdale, and Paradise Valley custom-build homes installing a fully custom real-wood carriage door.
About Amarr By Design
Install an Amarr By Design on a Fountain Hills custom-build — Amarr By Design is Amarr's fully custom wood collection, handcrafted carriage doors in four species with distressing options, built to a design you and Farnsworth's install team spec together. It's the collection we recommend for Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and Fountain Hills luxury homes where the door needs to look one-of-a-kind, not off-the-shelf. Silverleaf, DC Ranch, and Fountain Hills luxury custom-builds are where Amarr By Design lands most often - the door is designed alongside the home, not picked from a catalog. Twelve popular carriage house styles are available as starting points (Terry, Williams, Lowry, Curtis, and eight more in the brochure), or you can design your own from the ground up.
You get 14 top-section options (Closed Arch and Closed Square through 8-Lite Arch), decorative hardware in Barcelona, Carolina, Park City, and Virginia lines, glass options from clear to Frost to Dark Tint, and either double-strength or insulated glass. WindPro reinforcement is available for monsoon wind loads. The finish is stained or painted on site by the homeowner or a finishing contractor - which is important, because it also means the paint finish is not covered under warranty.
The AD4000 warranty is the shortest in the Amarr residential lineup - 1-Year sections + hardware + springs, 1-Year windows, no paint coverage. That's expected for a fully custom wood door. In Arizona, wood doors also need ongoing sealing to protect against sun exposure - plan on refinishing every few years. As a local Amarr dealer, Farnsworth Garage handles the design consult, order, install, and coordination with your finisher. Give us a call for a walk-through. For a distinctive architectural look without the ongoing sealing schedule real wood needs in Arizona sun, see our Amarr Foundry Reserve page.

Warranty
Every Amarr Amarr By Design ships with the Amarr Consolidated Residential Warranty. Here’s what’s covered — and for how long — on AD4000 (handcrafted wood).
- Panel sections
- Functional hardware
- Springs
- Windows
Handcrafted-wood doors do not carry a paint or stain finish warranty — the homeowner is responsible for staining/painting and for ongoing sealing and refinishing to protect against Arizona sun exposure. The 1-year sections/hardware/springs coverage is standard for a fully custom wood door.
Handcrafted wood requires ongoing sealing and refinishing to protect against Arizona sun exposure. The AD4000 warranty is limited to 1 year and paint finish is not covered - homeowner is responsible for staining or painting.
Warranty terms change over time. Riley’s team can print the current version of your specific warranty for your files at install.
Installing Your Amarr By Design in Fountain Hills & the Phoenix Metro
Why Farnsworth is Your Local Amarr Installer
Farnsworth Garage Door Service is an active local Amarr dealer serving Mesa and the greater Phoenix area, and every install is handled by our in-house install team — not sub-contracted out. We carry Arizona ROC license #351810 and full commercial insurance, and our office answers the phone locally — no call-center runaround, no offshore booking system.
Because we install Amarr doors as our day job, our team knows the quirks of every collection — the exact WindPro spec new Queen Creek and Maricopa builds require, the right insulation tier for a west-facing Scottsdale garage, which decorative hardware clears a low-headroom opening. When you buy an Amarr door from Farnsworth, you get a local installer who has installed the same collection dozens of times.
How the Install Works
-
Free in-home consultation
A Farnsworth installer comes to your home with physical color samples, walks the opening, and hands you a written quote — no obligation, no pressure.
-
Precise measurement
We measure the width, height, headroom, and side-room of your existing opening to spec the exact door build for your home — no surprises on install day.
-
Removal & haul-away of your old door
On install day our team removes your old door, cleans up the driveway, and hauls the old sections away. It's always included in the written quote — never a separate line item.
-
New Amarr door installation
Farnsworth's in-house install team sets your new Amarr By Design — track, torsion, panels, opener drawback, and safety-sensor alignment. No sub-contractors.
-
Final tuning & walkthrough
Balance check, tension set, and a walkthrough of how your new door and opener work — remote, keypad, safety reverse, and manual release.
After the Install
Farnsworth doesn't disappear after install day. If something needs adjusting — a track alignment, a rattle, an opener travel-limit tweak — give us a call and we come back out. We offer courtesy tune-ups to keep the door running quietly, and we handle warranty service for both the Amarr door itself and the install workmanship. If a part needs replacing under warranty, we coordinate the claim with Amarr for you.
That's the "buy with confidence" side of buying from a local dealer instead of a national chain: one number to call for service, one team that knows your install, one relationship. Most of our Amarr installs turn into repeat customers — opener replacements, second-door installs, and the referrals that follow.
Farnsworth installs Amarr Amarr By Design across the Phoenix metro: Mesa (home base), Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Tempe, Phoenix, Fountain Hills, Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, San Tan Valley, Maricopa, and Guadalupe.
Common Amarr By Design Configurations
Most of the Amarr By Design installs we do across Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, and the wider Phoenix area fall into one of these two openings. Yours might be different — we measure at the free in-home consultation and quote the exact size for your home.
Two-car Amarr By Design install
Approx. 16' wide × 7' or 8' tall
The single 16-foot two-car door is the most common configuration on Phoenix-area homes. On a two-car Amarr By Design, we recommend the insulated Amarr By Design build with the same custom species/stain/panel spec plus a sound-dampening insulated core for any attached garage — the extra insulation makes a real difference on the wall the garage shares with your bedroom or living room. Your chosen wood species, stain, and custom panel layout scales cleanly across the wider opening, and you can dial in the exact color and your custom window layout, glass style, and decorative hardware that matches your home.
One-car Amarr By Design install
Approx. 8' or 9' wide × 7' tall
Common on townhomes, casita conversions, and homes with a two-single-door layout instead of one wide door. For a one-car Amarr By Design, a custom Amarr By Design build to your species, stain, panel layout, and hardware spec is the practical default — enough performance for an attached garage without paying for the top-tier build on a smaller door. Same your chosen wood species, stain, and custom panel layout, same color palette, same warranty as the two-car version — just a narrower opening. Amarr By Design is a consultation-based custom order — we spec your species, stain, panel layout, and hardware together before we place the factory order.
Replace, Upgrade, or New Construction
We install the Amarr By Design across three scenarios most homeowners in the Phoenix area come to us for — whether you're replacing a door that's finally given up, upgrading from a builder-grade panel, or specifying doors on new construction.
Replace an aging door with the Amarr By Design
Your existing door is 15-30 years old, the panels are dented or faded, the springs are cycling through their last thousand openings, and the annual repair calls are stacking up. We remove the old door, hardware, and tracks, install the new Amarr By Design with all-new hardware, re-set the torsion springs to the correct IPPT for the door weight, program your existing opener (or install a new one), and haul the old door away the same day. Free written quote on the front end, local Amarr dealer relationship on the back end.
Upgrade to the Amarr By Design
You're moving from a stock steel door on a custom home that was always meant to have a real-wood front door and matching garage door — moving to an Amarr By Design custom wood door is the top of the residential garage-door market — the pick for Silverleaf, DC Ranch, and Paradise Valley custom homes where a real cedar, mahogany, or hemlock door is what the elevation was designed around. Every door is built for your opening, your species, and your stain. Your upgrade path also includes the insulated Amarr By Design build with sound-dampening core — the tier we specify most often on attached Phoenix-area garages because the thermal payback shows up on every July and August electric bill.
New construction Amarr By Design
Building a new custom home or handling a major renovation? Amarr Amarr By Design factory lead time is roughly 3-4 weeks or more factory-direct because every Amarr By Design door is a custom-built real-wood door — species, stain, panels, and hardware are all specified to your home, so we build the order timing into your construction schedule. Because Amarr By Design is a custom wood build, we sit down for a consultation before we place the order — species, stain, panel layout, and hardware are all specified together, then locked into the factory build. Rough-opening walkthrough before drywall, coordinated install once the door opening is dried in, and we work directly with builders and owners across Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, and the wider Phoenix area.
How Much Does an Amarr By Design Cost, and What Determines the Price?
Every Amarr By Design we install in the Phoenix area is custom-configured to your specific home, so there isn't a single sticker price we can post that will actually match the door you end up with. What we can tell you is exactly what moves the number — six factors, in plain English, so you can walk into the conversation with your eyes open instead of guessing at online ranges from companies that have never seen your opening.
Rather than a generic range that won't match your home, we send a local Amarr dealer out to your driveway, measure your opening, walk you through the panel, insulation, color, window, and hardware choices, and hand you a written itemized quote. Free, no obligation, no pressure. Here are the six inputs we work through together.
The installed price on any Amarr By Design in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, and the wider Phoenix area depends on the six factors below. We walk each one with you in person and put the result in writing.
Size
Door size
Single-car, double-car, and oversized openings each carry their own material and hardware footprint — the single biggest driver of installed price.
Insulation
Insulation tier
Single-, double-, or triple-layer construction. Higher tiers cost more up front and pay back all summer in cooler garages across Mesa, Phoenix, and Chandler.
Windows
Window options
The number of windows, glass style, and upgrades like Frost, Dark Tint, or DecraGlass insulation all shift the number on your quote.
Hardware
Decorative hardware
Optional handles, straps, and hinges dial up curb appeal — they're a la carte, so you only pay for the pieces you actually want on the door.
Wind Load
Wind-load reinforcement
Amarr's WindPro upgrade for Arizona monsoon straight-line winds, HOA architectural standards, or homeowners insurance requirements adds material to the build.
Included
Removal & haul-away
Farnsworth's written quote always includes removing your old door, cleaning up your driveway, and hauling the old sections away — not a separate line item.
HOA & architectural approval ready. Amarr's carriage-house designs are widely accepted in Arizona HOA communities — Silverleaf, DC Ranch, McDowell Mountain Ranch, Verde River, Val Vista Lakes, Power Ranch, Morrison Ranch, and more. Farnsworth handles your architectural review paperwork if your HOA requires it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Amarr By Design real wood?
Yes — Amarr By Design is Amarr's custom-order real-wood garage door line, built from four wood species with optional distressing. It's the door you specify for a custom Fountain Hills, Gold Canyon, or North Scottsdale home where the front elevation is a design feature.
How does real wood hold up in Arizona sun?
Real wood doors require ongoing maintenance in Arizona — sealing, refinishing, and monitoring for UV damage. If you love the look and are willing to commit to the upkeep, they're stunning. If you want a wood look without the maintenance, the Amarr Northwoods stamped-steel line or Clopay Canyon Ridge composite is a better fit. Riley's team will help you decide honestly.
How long does an Amarr By Design build take?
Because Amarr By Design is custom-order, lead times are longer than a stock door — typically several weeks from spec to delivery. We'll give you a firm delivery estimate at the point of order and keep you updated as the door moves through Amarr's build queue.
Can I design custom windows and hardware?
Yes — that's the whole point. Amarr By Design supports 14+ top-section window styles, custom shapes, decorative hardware, and 4 wood species with optional finishes. We'll walk through the design worksheet with you and coordinate directly with Amarr's custom desk.
Are you actually an Amarr dealer for custom-order builds?
Yes — Farnsworth is a local Amarr dealer and we handle Amarr By Design custom-order builds for the Phoenix metro. That means direct-from-factory ordering, in-home consultation, and install by our own team when the door arrives.
What's covered under the warranty on a wood door?
Amarr By Design carries Amarr's Consolidated Residential Warranty terms specific to wood construction — original single-family purchaser only, non-transferable. We'll print the specific warranty terms for your file when you place the order.
How much does an Amarr Amarr By Design cost to install in Arizona?
Every Amarr Amarr By Design install is quoted after we see the door opening, so pricing depends on real specs — the wood species you specify (four options), the custom design worksheet you fill out with our team (top-section shape, plank pattern, glass, hardware), whether the build includes distressing or two-tone staining, and old-door removal. Farnsworth is a local Amarr dealer that quotes in writing so you can see every line item before you commit. Call (602) 935-9766 or request a free written quote for your specific home in Fountain Hills, North Scottsdale, or the greater Paradise Valley area.
How long does Amarr Amarr By Design installation take in Mesa?
Amarr By Design is a fully custom real-wood build, and every door is queued into Amarr's mill after we work through the design worksheet with you — no stock path exists. Scottsdale and Mesa builds typically run 3–4 weeks from order to install, and longer if you specify an exotic species, heavy distressing, or an unusual finish combination. As your local Amarr dealer, we confirm Amarr's exact production window once the worksheet is finalized.
Can I finance an Amarr Amarr By Design garage door in the Phoenix area?
Yes — Farnsworth's Amarr install team offers financing options for Amarr By Design installs across Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and the greater Phoenix area. Qualified applicants can spread the investment over monthly payments instead of paying up front, which helps when you're bundling a new door with an opener or hardware upgrade. Ask about our financing options when you request a quote.
Does the Amarr Amarr By Design qualify for a homeowners insurance discount?
Homeowners insurance discounts are typically tied to WindPro-style wind-load reinforcement, and the Amarr Amarr By Design isn't built around that reinforcement package by default — it's an architectural or custom-build door where the design is the point. If wind-load compliance is a priority for your Fountain Hills home, look at Amarr Classica, Heritage, or Olympus, which are all available with WindPro. Farnsworth's local Amarr dealer team can quote either path so you can weigh curb appeal against insurance savings.
Which Amarr collection is best for Arizona sun and heat?
The Amarr Amarr By Design isn't an insulated collection — it's optimized for architectural design, not thermal performance. For maximum Arizona heat control, look at Amarr Classica (up to R-13.35 triple-layer polyurethane), Heritage, or Olympus (up to R-19.40), which all carry real polyurethane cores. Farnsworth's local Amarr dealer team can quote Amarr By Design for the curb-appeal factor and pair it with high-R insulation on other openings, or steer you to an insulated collection if your Fountain Hills or Mesa garage runs hot.
Why Choose Farnsworth for Your Amarr Install
Local Mesa-based family business
Brigham and Riley Farnsworth run the company — brothers, both hands-on in the field and the office. The Farnsworth family name has been part of the East Valley business community for 60+ years, so you're hiring people whose reputation actually lives in these neighborhoods.
Local Amarr dealer
Farnsworth is an active local Amarr dealer serving Mesa and the greater Phoenix area. Every Amarr door we install is ordered factory-direct through our dealer account — no third-party distributor, no rotating retailer, no sub-contracted install crew.
Multi-brand dealer
We're dealers for Clopay, Amarr, and Invicta — three of the top residential garage door manufacturers in North America. That means we recommend the door that actually fits your home, not the one brand we're forced to push. If a different manufacturer is the better call for your project, we'll tell you.
Free written quote, no pressure
Every Amarr consultation is free. We measure your opening, bring physical color samples out to your home so you can hold them against your stucco and trim in real Arizona light, and hand you a written itemized quote before you commit to anything.
Own the whole workflow, end to end
Measurement, factory order, install-day coordination, and after-install warranty support all live under our roof. The team that measures your opening is the team installing your door and the team you call if anything ever needs adjusting. No subcontractors, no rotating crews, no handoffs.
We service what we install
A garage door is a 20-year relationship, not a one-and-done sale. Farnsworth stays your service company for the life of the door — tune-ups, spring replacements, opener repairs, warranty claims. One number to call, one team that knows your install.
Licensed, insured, background-checked
Arizona ROC-licensed (License #351810), fully insured, and every crew member is background-checked before they set foot on your driveway. Not the license number of a national franchise — our own name on the license, our own team on the truck.
Same-day service across the Phoenix area
Same schedule across all 13 cities we serve — Mesa (our home base), Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix, Fountain Hills, Gold Canyon, Apache Junction, Maricopa, and Guadalupe. Same-day scheduling is our standard for repair and consultation calls.
Financing available
Buy the garage door you actually want — not the one that fits this month’s cash on hand.
Farnsworth offers flexible financing on every install and repair job over $500, across all four brands we carry — so you can pick the exact door, insulation tier, hardware, and windows you’d choose if budget wasn’t in the way.
Most homeowners qualify with a soft credit check that doesn’t affect your credit score. Fill out our short financing application — takes about two minutes to submit — and you’ll know your approval and monthly payment options before you finalize your quote. No pressure, no obligation.
