What We Manufacture
From wood-frame cottages along Kew Beach and Balmy Beach that have been converted into year-round homes, to the newer infill going up closer to Queen Street East, 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 is the first thing anyone sees walking up from the sidewalk, and on most Beaches streets that sidewalk runs past century homes with their own porch details to match. 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
With so many Beaches homes sitting a few streets from the water, or backing onto a laneway with barely any setback, your back door takes on more moisture and salt air than most. 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 The Beaches Homeowners Choose EHI Custom Doors
Search for a custom door manufacturer in the Beaches and most results are a citywide door company that has never actually measured an opening east of the Don Valley. The homes here were not built to a standard size, and neither is the way we build for them.
Built for Century-Old Openings
Plenty of Beaches homes started out as summer cottages in the early 1900s, and their door openings were framed long before anyone agreed on a standard size. We measure your actual opening and manufacture to it, so you are never stuck forcing a stock door into a house that predates the stock size chart.
Made for the Wind Off the Lake
Streets running down toward the boardwalk take on more wind and moisture than homes further inland, and an older wood door feels every bit of it. Our foam core and tongue-in-groove seal keep the draft and the damp out for good.
Real Pricing, Not a Boutique Quote
Between custom millwork shops quoting thousands for one wood door and big box stores that have never seen your street, a straight number is hard to find. Ours is plain: single doors start at $2,500 installed, double doors start at $5,100.
Our Services
Every door we build for a Beaches home goes through the same three steps, and all three happen 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, not a size pulled off a shelf.

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 Beaches 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, which counts for more on a street that catches the wind straight off the lake.
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 lake moisture or melting snow.
Lifetime Fiberglass Warranty
Fiberglass does not rot, crack, or break down the way a hundred-year-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.

Final Measurement Visit

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 Beaches Homes
The Beaches, one of Old Toronto's original lakeside neighbourhoods, is mostly one story architecturally: wood-frame cottages from the early 1900s that got raised, extended, and modernized over the decades, with a handful of newer infill mixed in closer to Queen Street East. The right door depends on which one yours is.
Wood-Grain Finishes for Century Homes
For the Edwardian and Victorian-era homes that make up most of the Beaches, an Oak Grain or Mahogany Grain finish keeps the porch looking the way it always has, without the yearly refinishing a real wood door needs.
Modern Finishes for Newer Infill
Where a home has been rebuilt or added onto closer to Queen Street East, a smooth, clean-panel door in matte black or charcoal with a slim glass insert tends to fit the newer look better.
Built to Fit, Not Off the Shelf
Either way, every door is fully custom to your opening, so a house framed before door sizes were standardized is never stuck picking from a stock size chart.
Real Pricing, No Guesswork
We do not believe in vague estimates, even in a neighbourhood full of character homes that rarely match a standard opening. Here is a real starting point for what a new custom fiberglass door costs installed.
Single Door
A single custom fiberglass door for your Beaches 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 Beaches entrance, starts at $5,100 installed. Final price depends on the same factors as a single door, scaled up for two panels.
Serving The Beaches From Our Whitchurch-Stouffville Workshop
We will not pretend our workshop is around the corner from Kew Gardens. It sits on Bloomington Road in Whitchurch-Stouffville, about 35 minutes up the 404 from Queen Street East.
What that drive buys you is a door built by the same team that installs it, not a name licensed out to a subcontractor working the east end. Every measurement, every cut, and every install for your Beaches home comes from one crew, start to finish.
Awards & Recognition
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 the Beaches?
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 your property carries a heritage designation, alterations visible from the street, including the door, may need a heritage permit, and we can help you figure out which situation applies before you order.
Can you match the trim on a Victorian or Edwardian character home?
Yes. Most of what we build for the Beaches goes into a home that predates standard door sizing, so matching sightlines, porch trim, and an arched or non-standard opening is routine work for us, not a special request.
How much does a custom front door cost in the Beaches?
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, not a boutique quote in the thousands.
My street has no driveway and limited parking. Can you still install here?
Yes. A lot of the Beaches has narrow streets and permit parking, and our installers plan around that ahead of time instead of showing up and figuring it out on install day.
Choosing custom doors in the Beaches should not mean settling for a stock size that was never built for a century-old opening, or paying boutique wood-shop pricing just to get a door that actually fits. EHI Custom Doors manufactures, installs, and replaces fiberglass front and back entry doors built to your home's exact opening, made to handle the wind and moisture coming straight off Lake Ontario.
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 Beaches home, call us at 647-952-2311 or fill out the form above for a free quote.
