Somerset Door & Column

What Somerset Door & Column does

Somerset Door & Column, doing business as McVicker Management, Inc., is a custom architectural woodwork manufacturer founded in 1906 and headquartered at 174 Sagamore Street in Somerset, Pennsylvania. The firm fabricates fully custom wood doors — including entry doors, sidelites, transoms, bi-fold patio doors (up to 24 feet wide), and overhead garage doors — alongside architectural columns (round, square, tapered, and true entasis styles, up to 40 feet in length) and ancillary millwork such as capitals, bases, pilasters, sills, jambs, casing, and brickmould. Two branded proprietary lines extend the catalog: StaveCast™ composite columns, molded from composite materials to sizes up to 24 inches in diameter and 24 feet in height, and the Longevity Door™, built with Accoya modified wood and backed by a 10-year warranty. All wood components are manufactured on-site at the company's approximately 10,000-square-foot facility using cope-and-stick construction with dowel pins and waterproof glue, stave core stiles and rails, tongue-and-groove pressure-glued joints, and on-site custom profile grinding.

The company serves primarily upscale residential homeowners, along with architects, designers, contractors, and commercial construction clients specifying custom entryways, ADA-compliant commercial doors, and historic preservation reproductions (e.g., Georgian plantation homes, county courthouses). Customer segments are approached through a sales-led, build-to-order model in which custom drawings — produced from photographs, hand drawings, or CAD files — are reviewed and approved before fabrication. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with payment options including credit card via authorize.net and phone-based processing during office hours (Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern).

The business is privately held by the McVicker family; Bob McVicker serves as President and Co-Owner and Marcy McVicker as Vice President and Co-Owner. The operating geographies are limited to the United States, and sales are conducted directly through the company website, phone, email, and on-site showroom visits — with no dealer network or third-party distribution indicated. Support functions include a General Manager overseeing production scheduling and a CAD Designer translating custom designs for fabrication.

Direct peers

• Rogue Valley Door: Oregon-based manufacturer of custom wood interior and exterior doors for high-end residential and light commercial projects. Closely comparable to Somerset in build-to-order model, wood species variety, and architectural specification focus.
• Timberlane: Custom manufacturer of premium wood shutters, doors, and exterior architectural products for luxury residential projects. Comparable in custom craftsmanship, premium positioning, and direct-to-homeowner/architect sales model.
• Pacific Columns: Manufacturer of architectural columns including wood, fiberglass, and composite varieties in classical Orders of Architecture. Directly competes with Somerset's wood columns and StaveCast composite column lines for the same architect and builder customers.
• Woodgrain Millwork: Manufacturer of millwork products including doors, windows, and mouldings serving residential construction. Comparable on the millwork and door manufacturing axis, though Woodgrain operates at significantly larger scale with broader product breadth.
• Real Carriage Door Company: Custom manufacturer of wood carriage-style garage doors and entry doors for luxury residential and custom home builders. Directly comparable to Somerset's custom wood garage door line in product, customer base, and made-to-order positioning.

Broad incumbents

• JELD-WEN: One of the largest global manufacturers of windows, doors, and millwork, including interior, exterior, and patio doors. Overlaps with Somerset on the door product category but competes primarily on volume, distribution scale, and dealer networks rather than custom craftsmanship.
• Masonite: Major manufacturer of interior and exterior doors serving residential and commercial construction. Comparable product line (entry doors, patio doors) but operates at vastly greater scale with standardized offerings, contrasting with Somerset's bespoke custom model.
• Andersen Windows & Doors: Largest U.S. window and door manufacturer with extensive product lines across materials and price points. Overlaps with Somerset on premium entry and patio doors, though Andersen competes primarily through dealer networks and branded product platforms.
• Marvin: Premium manufacturer of windows and doors, including wood and wood-clad products for luxury residential and historic projects. Comparable in targeting architects and high-end homeowners, but with much broader product breadth, dealer network, and national scale.

Regional players

• Chautauqua Millwork: Custom architectural millwork shop producing doors, columns, and ornamental woodwork for institutional and historic restoration projects in the Northeast U.S. Comparable in custom craftsmanship, AWI-aligned standards, and historic replication capability, but smaller and more regionally focused.
