Our Story
Gary was born and raised in Fairfield CT. He spent 2 years in accounting after graduating from Fairfield University.
In 2004 he opened the Garage Door Center in Fairfield to capitalize on the custom door market in lower Fairfield County. After struggling with finding reliable door suppliers, Gary formed Architectural Door Corporation in 2006 and began producing custom wood garage doors for builders and homeowners. A couple years later the great recession hit putting a dent in homebuilding in Fairfield County. To offset the slow down Architectural Door Corp began selling doors to other door companies and wholesalers in the northeast.
In 2012 Gary was awarded a U.S. patent on the EnDura composite door which has become the Company’s best selling door.
In 2008, the Garage Door Center was merged with Architectural Door Corporation.
Architectural Door Corp. purchased a larger manufacturing building in the historic Black Rock section of Bridgeport. The offices were moved from Fairfield to the new facility.
