Craftsman homes date back to early 19th century England and have become a staple in American architecture. These homes are known for their old-world charm, clean, modern lines, and lodge-inspired designs, making them a highly popular choice among homeowners in the Pacific Northwest. Craftsman-style garage doors are the perfect opportunity to capture cozy wood grain textures with any stain choices that show off your timeless, sophisticated home design.
