Custom Doors in Leaside, Toronto
Custom Doors in Leaside, Toronto | Built for a Neighbourhood Planned Before a Single Home Went Up
Custom doors in Leaside start with an unusual fact for a Toronto neighbourhood: it was the first town in Ontario planned entirely on paper in 1913, before a single home was built, and a century of porch conversions, mudrooms, and additions have taken the brick homes on Bessborough, Laird, and Hanna a long way from that original plan. EHI Custom Doors manufactures every front and back door to your home's exact opening as it actually stands today, not the size it started at. No imported system on a three-month wait, just a door built for your house specifically.
- Manufactured to your home's exact opening as it stands today, not the size it started at in 1913
- Finished to suit the brick homes and cantilevered window-boxes along Bessborough, Laird, and Hanna
- Real pricing starting at $2,500, not a European import on a months-long lead time
- HomeStars Verified with a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass
- Same team from your first message to the final seal, about 28 to 30 minutes up the 404

What We Manufacture
From the original 1920s brick homes along Bessborough Drive and Hanna Road to additions and rebuilds that have gone up since, we manufacture every front and back entry door to fit your home's exact opening. Every door is solid fiberglass, finished the way you want it, never picked off a shelf.
Custom Front Doors
Your front door probably sits behind a covered porch, a detail common across Leaside's original brick homes, and porch additions over the decades rarely left the opening at its original size. We build it in solid fiberglass, sized to your exact opening, with finish options like Oak Grain, Mahogany Grain, Smooth, or Contemporary.
Custom Full-Glass Front Door with Sidelights
Custom Back Doors
A lot of Leaside homes have added a mudroom, deck, or rear extension since the original 1920s build, and the back door usually moved or resized along with it. We build it in the same solid fiberglass as our front doors, sized to your exact opening and finished to hold up to it.
Custom Back Door
Why Leaside Homeowners Choose EHI Custom Doors
Search for a custom door manufacturer in Leaside and most of what comes up sells imported European systems on a three-month wait. We manufacture in Ontario, and we measure the home you actually have today, not the one that went up in the 1920s.
Built for a Century of Additions
Leaside was planned on paper before a single home was built, but a hundred years of porches, mudrooms, and extensions have taken most houses well past their original layout. We measure your actual opening and manufacture to it, whatever shape it has become.
Matched to Brick and Cantilevered Trim
The brick homes with cantilevered window-boxes along streets like Bessborough and Laird have a distinct look, and a door that ignores it stands out for the wrong reason. We build ours to sit right against it.
Real Pricing, Made in Ontario
Imported European door systems often carry a lead time of eight weeks or more before anything gets built. Ours is manufactured close by, priced plainly: single doors start at $2,500 installed, double doors start at $5,100.
Our Services
Every door we build for a Leaside home goes through the same three steps, all under our own roof. No dealer network, no subcontractor showing up on install day who was not part of your original quote.
Door Manufacturing
Your door starts as raw fiberglass at our Whitchurch-Stouffville workshop and leaves built for your home's exact opening, whatever additions have changed it since the 1920s.

Once your door is built, the same team that made it handles the install, taking care of the framing, the fit, and the final seal.

When a door is too far gone, cracked, rotted, or letting in drafts no matter how many times it has been patched or resealed, we replace it with a custom fiberglass door built to your exact opening.
Get Your Door ReplacedWhat Makes an EHI Door Different
Every entry door we build for a Leaside home is built around a foam core and a full moisture barrier, which is exactly why we can back it with a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass. Here is what actually goes into it.
CFC-Free Polyurethane Foam Core
Every door is built around a CFC-free polyurethane foam core, giving you six times the insulation of a standard wood door, worth having on a home that has picked up a draft or two over a hundred years of settling.
Tongue-in-Groove Moisture Barrier
Every door uses a tongue-in-groove rail lock system with composite PVC rails, keeping it fully waterproof at every seam. No swelling, no rot working in from a covered porch that traps moisture longer than an open one.
Lifetime Fiberglass Warranty
Fiberglass does not rot, crack, or break down the way a century-old wood door eventually does, so we back every door with a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass itself.
Multipoint Lock System
Every door comes with a multipoint locking system, engaging at several points along the frame instead of one deadbolt, in finishes like satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze, and matte black.

Custom Manufacturing and Professional Installation
Your door is built specifically for your home, then installed by our own team, with a full quality check before we leave to make sure everything operates the way it should.
Door Styles That Fit Leaside Homes
Leaside's original brick homes went up through the 1920s and 1930s along streets like Bessborough Drive, Laird Drive, and Hanna Road, many with the cantilevered window-boxes that mark the era, while newer rebuilds have filled in closer to Bayview Avenue since. The right door depends on which one yours is.
Wood-Grain Finishes for Original Brick Homes
For the classic 1920s and 1930s brick homes that make up most of Leaside, an Oak Grain or Mahogany Grain finish sits naturally against brick and a covered porch, without the yearly refinishing a real wood door needs.
Trim Matched to Porch and Window-Box Details
A lot of original Leaside homes carry distinct porch and window-box trim, and a new door needs proportions that respect it instead of looking bolted on.
Modern Finishes for Rebuilds Near Bayview
Where a home has been rebuilt closer to Bayview Avenue, a smooth, clean-panel door in matte black or charcoal with a slim glass insert tends to fit that newer architecture better.
Real Pricing, No Guesswork
We do not believe in vague estimates, even on a home that has changed shape a few times since the 1920s. Here is a real starting point for what a new custom fiberglass door costs installed.
Single Door
A single custom fiberglass door for your Leaside home starts at $2,500 installed, backed by a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass. Final price depends on size, glass, finish, and hardware like a single point or multipoint lock.
Double Door
A double custom fiberglass door, sized for a wider Leaside entrance, starts at $5,100 installed. Final price depends on the same factors as a single door, scaled up for two panels.
Serving Leaside From Our Whitchurch-Stouffville Workshop
We will not pretend our workshop sits on Bayview Avenue. It's on Bloomington Road in Whitchurch-Stouffville, about 28 to 30 minutes up the 404, one of the closer drives among the Toronto neighbourhoods we serve.
What that drive buys you is a door built by the same team that installs it, manufactured in Ontario instead of shipped over from a European supplier on a months-long wait. Every measurement, every cut, and every install for your Leaside home comes from one crew, start to finish.

In 2021, Efficient Home Improvements, the team behind EHI Custom Doors, was named a HomeStars Best of Award Winner and has held HomeStars Verified status ever since, recognition that takes a full year of real reviews and a background check to earn, not something handed out for free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace a front door in Leaside?
In most cases, no. The City of Toronto does not require a permit to replace a door in an existing opening on a detached, semi-detached, or row house, as long as the size and structural support of the opening stay the same. If a past addition or porch conversion changed your opening's size, that part of the work may already have needed a permit at the time, and we can help you figure out what applies now before you order.
Can you match the brick and porch trim on an original Leaside home?
Yes. Matching proportions and trim to the cantilevered window-boxes and covered porches common on Bessborough, Laird, and Hanna is routine work for us, not a special request.
How much does a custom front door cost in Leaside?
A single custom fiberglass door starts at $2,500 installed, and a double door starts at $5,100 installed. Final price depends on size, glass, finish, and hardware, but those two numbers are the real starting point.
My house has had a few additions since the 1920s. Will a custom door still fit right?
Yes. We measure your home's actual opening as it stands today, not the size it started at, so whatever additions or renovations have happened since do not change how well the door fits.
Choosing custom doors in Leaside should not mean forcing a stock size onto a home that has changed shape since 1913, or paying imported pricing for something manufactured overseas. EHI Custom Doors manufactures, installs, and replaces fiberglass front and back entry doors built to your home's exact opening, whatever it has become over a century of additions.
Every door is backed by a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass, priced honestly from the start, and installed by the same team that built it. If you are ready for an entry door that is actually made for your Leaside home, call us at 647-952-2311 or fill out the form above for a free quote.
