Vintage Wood & Forged Iron

What Vintage Wood & Forged Iron does

Vintage Millwork & Restoration, doing business in some materials as Vintage Wood & Forged Iron, is a privately held custom wood door and architectural millwork manufacturer founded in 2003 and based in Paradise (Lancaster County), Pennsylvania. The company designs and fabricates fully custom interior, exterior, barn, garage, carriage, Dutch, arched, French, pocket, sliding, pivot, paneled, craftsman, screened porch, and commercial/emergency wood doors, plus a Heritage Series of semi-custom doors in curated styles. The catalog also extends to wood windows, cupolas, tack rooms, wooden driveway gates, custom staircases, screen porch enclosures, and historical restoration services. The company serves custom home builders, architects, interior designers, homeowners, and commercial projects, with professional installation available in the Lancaster County region and nationwide shipping via custom crating.

Production is carried out in a single Lancaster County workshop that pairs traditional craftsmanship with modern CNC equipment, notably a Biesse CNC machine used for precision cutting and shaping. Core technical differentiators include an engineered door construction using layered quarter-inch wood pieces with grains running in different directions to minimize warping and improve thermal insulation, kiln-drying of wood to below 12% moisture content, marine-grade epoxy finishing (one stain coat plus three topcoats), and a nylon brush machine for processing reclaimed wood. The company also hand-forges and resells door hardware, including products from Ashley Norton, Rocky Mountain Hardware, and Von Duprin.

The business operates on a direct-sales model with quote-based, project-driven pricing. Fully custom doors start at $5,000, with final pricing dependent on wood species, dimensions, glass configurations, hardware, and finish; the Heritage Series is positioned at a lower investment level. Revenue is generated from one-time door and millwork sales, professional installation services within the regional service area, hardware sales, and historical restoration work. Customer acquisition is driven by a website with educational blog content, active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn, SEO targeting Mid-Atlantic metros, and referral relationships with builders, architects, and interior designers. The company is led by General Manager Amos Fisher and operates with approximately 8 employees.
