We understand making significant changes to your home’s exterior can seem like a daunting task, but we’ve come up with a solution to make the process easy, fun and informative. Seeing is believing, and we invite you to come see the quality and craftsmanship for yourself in our village-style showrooms.

Our showrooms are set up with small-scale homes outfitted in preferred products allowing you to get up close and see every product in action— like this house of sliding and folding patio doors.

This showroom home offers a sampling of options available from one of our newest suppliers, QFort. Their line of sliding and bi-fold patio doors is the perfect solution if your goal is to bring the outside inside. Adding more glass to your home allows more light in, and QFort windows and doors do it without compromising energy efficiency.

Complimenting the modern, European design of the QFort patio doors, the exterior of this home is clad with Gentek’s Align Composite siding to create a practical and on-trend exterior. We also used Gentek’s premium vinyl soffit and fascia to turn an often overlooked part of the home into an eye-catching feature.

Moving indoors, this home features a Ghostwood Reclaimed Wood accent wall to offset the crispness of the white siding and demonstrate the versatility of Ghostwood products.

Creating an eye-catching exterior for your home can be easily achieved by using a mixture of materials and textures. This home’s exterior begins with Ghostwood Reclaimed Wood soffit and fascia and compliments the wood texture with sleek steel siding. The Longboard Siding combines the natural design and colour of wood with lightweight performance-engineered aluminum to deliver a low-maintenance siding that will not rot, warp, peel or fade. Installed both vertically and horizontally, the long sleek lines of this siding add a greater sense of height and length to the home. Pillars and accent walls of Be On Stone add a sense of strength and stability to offset the warmth of the reclaimed wood and the wood-like siding. The different materials come together to create a nature-inspired exterior that will blend in in any environment.

Moving indoors, two walls of Ostaco Enersense Windows were installed to create an open and inviting space that takes full advantage of natural light.

This home is an excellent example of how embracing multiple materials, textures, and colours can create a unique exterior that will help set your home apart from all others.

Our showrooms are set up with small-scale homes outfitted in preferred products allowing you to get up close and see every product in action— like this contemporary sloped-roof home.

Building off the contemporary architecture, we selected exterior products that aligned with the Scandinavian-inspired design. Monochromatic hues were chosen for the siding, windows and doors to create a cohesive exterior and allow the different textures and small details to shine through. And much like real-life contemporary homes, natural light was maximized in this showroom home using floor-to-ceiling windows and a large sliding patio door. The small deck out front was covered in light grey aluminum decking and a glass railing system to provide a little bit of contrast without straying too far from the overall goal. The result is a contemporary home that reflects today’s modern design trends. Explore all of the products and materials used in this home below.

Our showrooms are set up with small-scale homes outfitted in preferred products allowing you to get up close and see every product in action— like this cottage-inspired indoor-outdoor living space.

Today, homeowners are looking to expand their living space and blend the indoors with the outdoors— and larger decks and covered outdoor living spaces are the perfect way to achieve this. In this cottage-inspired home, we’ve blended the indoors with the outdoors by using a large-panel LePage Millworks sliding door. These doors offer plenty of clear viewing while maintaining energy efficiency and lift onto a solid track to make opening and closing effortless.

Shifting “outdoors,” we’ve lined the deck with two kinds of railings. Glass railings provide a clear and unobstructed view, while traditional railings provide the safety and accent of colour that some homeowners prefer. Both styles of railings can also be used effectively indoors. The outdoor living space is then maximized with an Aristocrat retractable awning to offer protection from sunlight and light rainfalls— making the aluminum deck useable in all types of weather.

As an added bonus, we’ve used Ghostwood Reclaimed Wood siding inside this home to add warm wainscoting and a unique ceiling feature. The result is an indoor-outdoor living space that is inviting and well prepared to host a get-together, no matter what the weather brings.

As custom exterior expert, we spend a large part of our time finishing new builds and completely transforming existing homes. But every once and a while, we’re asked to modernize a home while maintaining its existing architecture and style— exactly the case at this Thornbury Cape Cod home. And with the project now complete, we thought we’d take this opportunity to walk you through the homeowner’s desires and how we delivered on them. Check it out!

The Ask

Right from the start, the homeowner knew they wanted to keep the existing charm of their home. They loved the timeless Cape Cod style, but were tired of maintaining the wood siding, decking and other aspects of the home for the past 20 years. We were tasked with applying modern products and finishes to create a new, maintenance-free home that resembled the existing exterior they still very much loved. From the siding and windows to the doors, decking and railing, the homeowners wanted almost every aspect of their home’s exterior brought up to date.

Initial Tasks

Unlike other projects where the sky is often the limit when it comes to colours, products and manufacturers, our team very quickly had to narrow down options to only those that would resemble the existing character. With our shortlist in hand, we returned to the Thornbury home to get exact measurements and pictures for previews. Using the latest in 3D rendering technology, we were able to digitally recreate the home and outfit it with the real-life products we were proposing. This tool was a great asset in reassuring the homeowner that the exterior of their home would remain the same— albeit with a lot less maintenance.

Windows

The first step of this Cape Cod rejuvenation was to remove the existing windows and prep the jambs for the new windows. During the quoting process, the homeowner requested we save their interior trim and so extra precaution was taken during the removal and measuring process. Once ready for installation, our team installed Ostaco Core Plus windows with SDL Grills for maintenance-free Cape Cod styling. With that being said, the homeowners wanted a slightly more modern look to the windows and so we decided to reduce the number of squares in the grills— providing more glass and the modern appearance the homeowner requested.

Doors

The next step of this project was to replace the exterior French doors. This home is fortunate to have multiple levels of outdoor space (accessible from many rooms in the house) and so it meant that there were many sets of doors to replace. Again, we started by removing the old doors and prepping the door jambs for the new doors and then continued to install new Ostaco Fibreglass French Doors with retractable screens. The retractable screens will give the homeowners the opportunity to leave the doors open without having to worry about the burden of bugs in the warmer months.

To further enhance the multiple levels of outdoor space, we also installed Centor S1 retractable screens on the upper deck. These screens completely bugproof the space and allow it to be used no matter how buggy it may be. And with a view of the pond in their backyard, this is bound to be a go-to space now.

Returning to the front of the house, our team also installed Upward Canadian-made steel garage doors along with a Lift master side-operating jack-shaft motor to eliminate the old trolley motor— making the garage door system quieter and more reliable.

Siding

Once the doors and windows were up to date, it was time to start tackling the biggest part of this project, the siding. This was the main reason our team was hired as the homeowners were tired of maintaining the existing wood siding. Once the home had been peeled back to the sheathing, our team got started by installing 1” of Enerfoil insulation board to increase the R-factor of the home. With the home insulated and ready for its new siding, we installed Gentek Everlast PVC siding in the exact same colour and style of the wood siding we had just removed. This was capped with large white PVC trim on the corners, freeze boards and headers around the windows and doors to complete the authentic Cape Cod styling.

Decking & Railings

With so much to see right out their back door, the deck is a vital part of this home. To bring it up to date, we removed all the old deck boards and laid down new Home Team aluminum decking. Not only does this make the deck maintenance-free like the rest of the house, but it’s also seamless— providing protection from dripping water above. This means the homeowners can sit under the deck in the rain and not get wet. We also installed Gentek vinyl panels and Sagiper woodgrain soffit to warm up the underside of the deck without creating any additional maintenance.

To cap off the new deck, we also installed a Home Team aluminum railing system with glass partitions. Not only is it maintenance-free, but the glass also allows for an unobstructed view of the backyard whether you’re indoors or out.

“If It Goes On The Outside Of Your Home, You’ll Find It On The Inside Of Ours.”

The Muskoka region, in Northern Ontario is best known as the Canadian summer retreat for celebrities to enjoy their extravagant, multi-million dollar cottages.

Last fall, former Toronto Maple Leaf great, Wendel Clark, approached us with the challenge of renovating his Muskoka home. And as any Canadian would have done, we jumped at the opportunity. Check out the project details below along with a list of the products we used to transform his Muskoka cottage.

Project Goals

Wendel and his wife, Dee, wanted to convert their 3-season room into a year-round relaxing retreat. Living on the lakefront, they also wanted to maximize their view of the lake, add access to the outdoors from this room and create a maintenance-free exterior. And they wanted it all to seamlessly blend into the existing interior and exterior of their cottage.

No problem.

Our Solution

With the project goals laid out, we began tackling this Muskoka cottage transformation.

First up, maximizing the view of the lake and creating an access point to the outdoors.

When we first learned of Wendel and Dee’s desire to maximize their view of the lake and create an access point to the outdoors, we immediately knew Centor’s bi-fold doors were the perfect solution. These large window-like sliding/folding doors provide a floor to ceiling view of the lake like a window wall, but also double as a door, providing effortless access to their yard. We started the install by removing the existing windows and knee wall and then reinforced the header to be able to support the weight of the Centor bi-fold door. The bi-fold door’s exterior was painted to match the cottage’s existing windows, and its interior was stained by our team to match the timber frame of the room. The door was installed along with a retractable sunshade and a retractable bug screen to enhance the practicality and usability of the room further.

With the door installed, Wendel and Dee now have an uninterrupted view of the lake, access to the outdoors as well as a room that is more suited to their lifestyle than before.

Next up, the start of a maintenance-free exterior.

With the most substantial part of the project successfully completed, we moved on to replacing the existing windows on the wall opposite from the Centor door with new, energy-efficient windows that would help make the exterior maintenance-free and the interior warm year-round.

For this part of the project, we turned to Lepage’s XL Double-Hung window. We chose a double-hung window for this scenario to maximize ventilation and an aluminum clad exterior that was paint-matched to the existing windows to create a seamless, maintenance-free exterior. At the same time, the interior received a factory stain to match the room’s timber frame once again.

Products Used

Windows

• Lepage XL Double Hung windows with paint-matched aluminum clad exterior and factory-stained wood interior

Doors

• Centor Bi-Fold Door with factory paint-matched exterior and custom stained wood interior

At Van Dolder’s Custom Exteriors, enhancing your home’s curb appeal is what makes us tick. Harmonizing personal taste with the beauty of local surroundings is a craft— one that we’ve spent over 50 years refining.

In early 2018, Van Dolder’s Custom Exteriors met with a family who had just recently started the process of building their dream home in the Cobble Beach neighbourhood. With many months of hard work now behind us and countless people to thank, we’re proud to show you this gorgeous home’s exterior. Let’s take a closer look!

The Ask

When designing the exterior of a custom home, the home’s surrounding environment and the family’s personal preferences play a big role in product choice, colour selection and final design. For this Cobble Beach home, we were tasked with merging the coastal ambiance of Georgian Bay as well as the surrounding forested areas with the family’s liking for contemporary style. The family also loved their previous home’s wood siding and wanted to maintain the warmth and richness of wood in their new home’s exterior—without the exhausting maintenance of traditional wood siding.

The Solution

Starting with the siding and knowing the family’s fondness for wood, we chose Maibec’s Genuine Wood Channel Siding. Maibec’s Genuine Wood Siding has a textured finish and follows strict quality standards throughout its entire manufacturing process. This offered the homeowners the beauty of wood siding that they were looking for, but with increased protection from the damaging effects of the sun, wind, heat and rain that are all too common along the coast of Georgian Bay. To complete the home’s exterior and compliment the genuine wood channel siding, we also selected matching Maibec Genuine wood shingles and trim boards.

One of the most significant advantages to Maibec’s products is their extensive selection of colours and their ability to match custom colour choices as well. In this case, the homeowners worked with Interior Designer, Wendy Bye, to select a Benjamin Moore colour for their siding. They simply provided a colour sample, and Maibec was able to match it perfectly— giving the homeowners a high-quality factory stained shade that seamlessly fit the colouring of the surroundings.

When we think about this home and what sets it apart from others, we think of the gorgeous view. To appreciate the beauty of the forested areas and the Georgian Bay coastline the architect’s plans called for a set of magnificent, one-of-a-kind, 16-foot curved windows along the eastern side of the home. For these very special windows, we called upon our friends at Bigfoot windows to craft and supply the unique size and shape that were needed.

Once we had this feature window crafted, we enlisted Ostaco’s Enersense windows for the remainder of the home. Ostaco’s Enersense windows require very little maintenance, provide a secure seal and have achieved the highest ENERGY STAR® rating for energy efficiency. And for this family, energy efficiency was a top priority.

As you can see, we also chose black colouring for the windows to achieve the family’s desired contemporary look. Black windows are very much on-trend right now and continue to be a clean, simple way to achieve several looks. Pulling from the home’s surroundings, we also like how the black colouring resembles the depths of Georgian Bay.

A front door says a lot about a home. It’s the first thing to welcome guests into your home and influence their initial impression. And for this home, we knew ordinary simply wouldn’t suffice. This is why we worked with Bigfoot once again to create a one-of-a-kind entry door that reflects the uniqueness of the rest of the home. For the rest of the home’s doors, we used Ostaco’s black painted doors for a bold, yet elegant appearance. Many of these doors were outfitted with built-in retractable screens from Phantom Screens to allow the family to take advantage of the natural coastal ventilation. These screens were an easy choice for many reasons. On top of providing natural ventilation, they also offer protection from harmful UV rays and can accommodate single, double and even oversized door openings.

Cobble Beach is known for its exquisite coastal views and surrounding scenery. So as with any home with a view, we knew the outdoor living space needed to provide the family with space to enjoy the views as well as the company of family and friends. This led us to build the deck using decking from AZEK’s Vintage Collection. This gave us the appearance of real wood that the family wanted, but with superior durability and much less maintenance— meaning the deck will be there for many gatherings. To complement the home’s contemporary style, we selected the Azek decking in the mahogany colouring. This gave it a rich, timeless appearance, while its dramatic streaking and variations from board-to-board, captured the beauty of real wood.

The view from the deck is awesome and to preserve an unobstructed view from the deck we used our very own clear glass railing system. Each railing system is custom-made to our client’s specifications and provides spindle-free views on all sides.

And last but not least are the soffit and fascia. Many don’t realize, but soffit and fascia play an integral role in the structural integrity of a home. Properly installed soffit provides ventilation that’s essential to good air circulation, which reduces excess moisture that can cause rotting and decay of a roof’s structure— not to mention they can make or break the look of your home’s exterior. On the front porch, we used material from Maibec in Muskoka brown, which has natural wood tones that complimented the real wood siding perfectly. And for the rest of the house, we used Gentek’s Canadian-made black vented aluminum soffit and smooth fascia.

We want to extend a special thanks to Interior Designer, Wendy Bye, for her influence throughout this project as well as to all the men and women who helped in bringing this family’s coastal retreat to life.
