Best Woods for Exterior Residential Construction

Are you seeking information on which wood species makes sense for your new deck, cladding, front door, or garage door? Great – you are in the right place.

At Doorvana, we only build garage doors, so we contacted some home service experts in the decking and custom wood front door space to shed light on what they recommend. These answers may not align with your wants for several reasons. From budget to shape or pattern, finishing options, and profiles, these recommendations may not square with what is best for your project.

However, we want to share what we know in the hopes of being beneficial for your remodeling and construction project.
