Stepping Into Window Installations: A Small Project That Changed My Perspective

We don’t often install windows—at least not yet. But every once in a while, a project comes along that makes you reconsider what your company is capable of doing. This job, completed in early January 2022 in Old Toronto for our friends at Dark Horse Management, was one of those moments. The project itself included […]

Finishing the Year Strong: A Snowy Door Installation Just Before Christmas

Somehow this project slipped through the cracks while sorting through hundreds of photos from past installs. But it’s definitely worth sharing—because it represents one of the most memorable installs we completed at the very end of 2021. The installation took place on December 23rd, and it was the last project of the year that we

High-Definition Woodgrain Fiberglass Doors: Getting Closer to the Real Thing

At first glance, it looks like a custom wood plank door. But it’s not. Unlike a typical fiberglass door with engraved linear patterns routed into a flat slab, this style is much more complex. Instead of simply cutting grooves into a surface, this door features separate planks, each with the wood grain running in the

When Fiberglass Imitates Wood: A Knotty Alder Finish That Surprised Even Me

I wasn’t sure I was going to post this one. The exterior photo wasn’t exactly my best shot—but then again, not every project gets the lighting it deserves. What did deserve the spotlight though, was the surface texture on this fiberglass door: a beautiful, knotty alder wood grain that caught my eye and hasn’t let

The Design Challenge of Oversized Fiberglass Doors (and How We Solve It)

Oversized single doors — like this 42″ wide by 96″ tall beast — have become one of the hottest trends in modern home design over the past five years. And I absolutely love them. However, designing one isn’t as simple as clicking “larger size” on an order form. Especially when it comes to fiberglass doors,

Project Feature: A Custom Door Upgrade in North York

Every home tells a story—and we were proud to be part of one in North York, where our goal was to elevate a dated builder-grade entry into a bold, modern statement. This project focused on replacing an underwhelming setup with a fiberglass door system that delivers on performance, style, and presence. The original configuration featured

Massive Fiberglass Entry System: 8-Foot Door + Sidelights + Transom

This was, without exaggeration, one of the biggest door systems we’ve ever installed—and it came with some of the biggest challenges too. We’re talking about an 8-foot-tall, 42-inch-wide fiberglass door, flanked by two full-height sidelights and capped with an equally massive 8-foot transom window. The sheer scale of the components pushed every aspect of this

Bold in Red and Black: 8-Foot Door with Custom Cherry Blossom Metalwork

As the holidays approach and the manufacturer shutdown looms, we’re scrambling to wrap up as many door installs as possible. Meanwhile, my brain is trying its best to hold on—but I swear I posted this project months ago… and yet, it’s nowhere to be found. So here it is—officially—and I’d say it’s worthy of a

Stainless Steel Accents on Black Doors: Clean, Bold, and Rarely Seen

I don’t often get to work with stainless steel finish metal, but every time I do, I end up asking myself why it’s not more common—because, let’s be honest, it just looks damn good. Especially when paired with a black fiberglass or steel door, accented by matching stainless hardware. There’s something about that high-contrast, high-precision
