Solara Custom Doors & Lighting was recommended to me by a co-worker. I'd now recommend them to anyone based on our experience: Once it became clear that the pandemic would keep me working from the home office for at least another six months, we decided to create a wall and door where previously there had been none because of our newer, open-concept home. Solara's solution - black steel and double-paned glass, co designed with us - has proven gorgeous and essentially soundproof. We are very pleased!

Solara has been installing my doors since 2005. I've just recently had yet another door installed on my back veranda leading out to my pool. Oh My Goodness. What a statement! Absolutely Gorgeous. Thank you Solara

Custom Gas Lanterns for a HUGE project---flawlessly executed! The sheer scale of these is huge, as the columns are TWELVE feet tall, so the gas lanterns had to be three feet tall to fit the space. Absolutely gorgeous, and we had smaller electrical coordinates made around the same house. Rudy delivered what he promised, and when he promised. GREAT JOB!
