HISTORY

Columbus Custom Carpentry is a family-owned company founded in 1946. While our product line has changed over time, we have evolved into a stable and profitable business. We operate in a niche market, producing semi-custom interior doors for residential applications. We do not compete directly with mass manufacturers of traditional doors, nor do we sell through mass-market big-box stores.

Our success has come about through the development of various jigs and special tools to produce replacement antique-styled doors for the restoration market. We also have a line of contemporary doors that are more aggressively styled than their standard mass-market competitors. Our proprietary tools and systems allow us to underprice the build-to-order custom manufacturers and to be profitable at volumes well below what would be required for profitability in the mass-market arena.This success has resulted in steady growth over the last few years. We are still in a single Midwest location, but we now have four buildings and 135 employees. Our annual sales exceed $15 million.
