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.

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.
What Determines the Cost of an Amarr By Design?
Every Amarr quote we write is built for your specific home — free, no obligation, no guessing. Because there are so many configuration choices, we don't publish generic ranges that won't match your opening; the installed number depends on the six factors below. We'll walk each one with you in person and hand you an itemized written quote.
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.
