Madawaska Doors Is Now Under New Ownership
Since 1947, Madawaska Doors has been a proud symbol of craftsmanship in Barry’s Bay. What began as a small home-based woodworking shop beside the Hildebrandt family homestead has grown into one of Canada’s most respected makers of custom solid wood doors. Over the decades, the company has evolved in name, size, and ownership — but one thing has never changed: the dedication to handcrafted quality.
Today, we’re excited to share an important milestone in that story.
Honouring the Past, Investing in the Future
Under the new ownership, the legacy of traditional woodworking methods — the very techniques that shaped Madawaska’s reputation — remains firmly in place. But this next chapter introduces new investment, modern equipment, and a renewed vision designed to strengthen what the company has always done best:
-
Crafting premium solid wood interior and exterior doors
-
Preserving hand-built quality
-
Delivering custom solutions with care and precision
-
Supporting local craftsmanship in Ontario.
The spirit of Madawaska — the artistry, the heritage, the pride — isn’t changing. What is changing is the momentum behind it.
What Customers Can Expect
Over the coming months, customers can look forward to:
-
Improved communication and customer service
-
Shorter lead times and increased capacity
-
A refreshed product offering, including both classic designs and new collections
-
Continued commitment to custom craftsmanship
-
Strengthened ties with builders, designers, and homeowners
A Note from Ownership
“Madawaska Doors has been part of my life for over two decades. I’ve always admired the skill that goes into every door — the kind of craftsmanship you simply can’t mass-produce. It’s an honour to carry this legacy forward, to invest in the community, and to ensure the Madawaska name continues to represent the highest level of quality for generations to come.”
