Amarr Contemporary Steel Garage Door
Northwoods
Textured Architectural
Real-wood look in a low-maintenance door - digitally printed woodgrain plank on triple-layer steel for modern Scottsdale, Chandler, and Gilbert homes.
Best for: Scottsdale, Chandler, and Gilbert homeowners buying a real-wood look without wood-door maintenance — printed-plank steel that laughs at Arizona sun.
About the Northwoods
Buy an Amarr Northwoods in Gold Canyon and Farnsworth's install team gives you the look of real wood plank without the maintenance real wood demands in the Arizona sun — a natural fit for Gold Canyon, Scottsdale, and Chandler homes where the palette wants warmth but the schedule doesn't want refinishing. It's a favorite on Marley Park bungalows, DC Ranch modern-district homes, and Downtown Tempe remodels where the front elevation reads as wood-first without asking the homeowner to refinish anything. It's a digitally printed multi-tone woodgrain surface applied to a ribbed triple-layer steel section - horizontal plank lines with genuine depth and texture, at a maintenance level that just needs an occasional rinse.
Two model tiers give you a build to match the exposure. NW3138 uses 1-3/8" polystyrene insulation with a U-factor of 0.27 and R-value of 6.48. The newer NW3000 steps up to 2" polystyrene with a U-factor of 0.26 and R-value of 9.05 - a meaningful gain on a west-facing garage. WindPro reinforcement is available for monsoon wind loads, the Quiet Door option reduces operation noise by up to 38 percent, and Mosaic Window placement lets you decide exactly where light enters. Colors run Cedar, Dune, Coffee, Aspen Gray, and Onyx, with Short Panel, Long Panel, or SlimLine window styles.
Warranty is 12 years on the printed finish for single-family homes plus Lifetime sections - shorter than Classica or Heritage on paint, but longer than any of Amarr's value collections. As a local Amarr dealer, Farnsworth Garage installs Northwoods on modern and mid-century modern homes across the East Valley and greater Phoenix. If you want a genuine wood look without a genuine wood service schedule, this is the door to consider. Call us for a walk-through. If you want a similar warm-wood feel with real composite overlay depth instead of a printed wood finish, see our Carriage Court page.

Energy Efficient Insulation
R-values from 6.48 to 9.05 keep the garage tolerable in Phoenix summers and lower whole-home energy load.
Mosaic Window Placement
Place windows asymmetrically to bring natural light exactly where you want it - great for north-facing garages or modern facades.

Installing Your Amarr Northwoods in Gold Canyon & 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 Northwoods — 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 Northwoods 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 Northwoods?
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.
Storm-Rated for Arizona Monsoon Season
Amarr's WindPro reinforcement is available on the Amarr Northwoods. Arizona monsoon straight-line winds through July, August, and September put unreinforced garage doors at real risk of blowing in or off track — and a blown-in door turns a small repair into a house-scale one. WindPro adds internal struts and reinforced hinges that raise the door's wind-load rating to meet Maricopa County building codes for the zones that require it — especially newer builds in Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Maricopa, and along the I-10 monsoon corridor.
There's also an insurance angle worth checking. Many Arizona homeowners insurance carriers offer discounts for wind-load-rated garage doors — worth a call to your carrier before you finalize the build. Ask about WindPro when you request your free quote and Farnsworth's install team will confirm the exact spec your neighborhood requires.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Northwoods get that wood-grain plank look?
Northwoods is a stamped-steel door with a wood-tone plank finish — the look of real cedar or oak planks without the AZ-heat warping and refinishing that real wood needs. The finish is baked on at Amarr's factory and holds up well in Mesa and Phoenix sun.
Is Northwoods available in different plank colors?
Yes — Northwoods comes in Cedar, Oak, and other wood-tone finishes. We bring samples to your free in-home consultation so you can see them against your actual stucco and trim in Arizona daylight.
How does Northwoods compare to Clopay's Canyon Ridge?
Both give you the wood look without the maintenance. Clopay's Canyon Ridge is a composite construction with real wood overlays and generally a premium price point; Amarr's Northwoods is a factory-finished stamped-steel door at a friendlier tier. We install both and can help you decide based on the look and the budget.
Can I get glass on a Northwoods door?
Yes — Northwoods supports window inserts including glazed and Decraglass options. The most popular pairing on Northwoods installs in Chandler and Gilbert is a clean row of tinted top-section glass.
How long does the wood-tone finish last in Arizona sun?
Amarr's factory finish is UV-stabilized and typically holds color meaningfully for 20+ years in the Phoenix metro. Unlike real wood, there's no refinishing schedule and nothing to seal — a real advantage for homeowners tired of yearly upkeep.
Are you an actual Amarr dealer?
Yes — Farnsworth is a local Amarr dealer serving Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, and the wider Phoenix metro. We install every Northwoods door with our own team and handle Amarr warranty claims directly on your behalf.
How much does an Amarr Northwoods cost to install in Arizona?
Every Amarr Northwoods install is quoted after we see the door opening, so pricing depends on real specs — door size, which plank finish (from the printed woodgrain palette) you choose, window and hardware options, WindPro reinforcement, and removal of your old door. 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 Scottsdale, Chandler, or the greater Gilbert area.
How long does Amarr Northwoods installation take in Mesa?
Northwoods printed-plank finishes are factory-applied, and standard sizes in the common finish options are usually in stock — that lets us turn a Scottsdale or Chandler install around by the next day. Custom sizes, WindPro reinforcement, or upgraded insulation typically go to Amarr's build queue at roughly 1–4 weeks. Both timelines land on your written quote so you know before signing off.
Can I finance an Amarr Northwoods garage door in the Phoenix area?
Yes — Farnsworth's Amarr install team offers financing options for Northwoods 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 Northwoods qualify for a homeowners insurance discount?
It varies by insurance carrier, but many Arizona homeowners insurers offer discounts on garage doors with wind-load-rated reinforcement — and the Amarr Northwoods is available with WindPro reinforcement engineered for Scottsdale and Chandler monsoon straight-line winds. Ask your carrier whether their policy rewards wind-rated garage doors before you finalize the spec, and Farnsworth's local Amarr dealer team can print the WindPro compliance paperwork for your file. For an attached Phoenix-area garage, that annual premium savings can more than offset the reinforcement upgrade over the life of the door.
Which Amarr collection is best for Arizona sun and heat?
The Amarr Northwoods is offered with real insulation — R-6.48 (NW3138) to R-9.05 (NW3000) with polystyrene insulation — so it's a solid heat-control pick for a Scottsdale or Chandler garage that shares walls with living space. For the absolute highest heat performance in Amarr's residential lineup, look at Olympus (up to R-19.40) or the top-tier Classica build (R-13.35 triple-layer polyurethane). Farnsworth's local Amarr dealer team will walk you through R-value versus budget on your free in-home quote.
