In this episode of The Best of Raleigh, host Gretchen Coley sits down with Jack Paton, General Manager of Clark Hall Doors & Windows, to explore how a front door can do so much more than welcome you home—it can completely transform the look and feel of your space.
For over 20 years, Clark Hall has been setting the standard in custom iron doors, combining timeless design with modern craftsmanship to create statement pieces that are redefining curb appeal in Raleigh and beyond. Jack shares the story behind Clark Hall’s North Carolina roots, how they expanded into the Raleigh market, and why their doors have become a signature feature in some of the area’s most beautiful neighborhoods.
From traditional to modern and everything in between, their fully custom—and often show-stopping—doors are helping homeowners move away from the cookie-cutter look and create homes that feel truly unique. In this conversation, Jack and Gretchen dive into the latest design trends shaping Raleigh’s architectural landscape, including the growing demand for sleek lines, expansive glass panels, and pivot doors that make a bold first impression. They also talk about the practical side of things—how Clark Hall doors are engineered for durability, energy efficiency, and security, and how their process makes it easy for homeowners to go from inspiration to installation.
