Our Story
Building distinctive homes and communities in the Bay of Quinte since 2001.
Duvanco Homes is one of Quinte’s most distinguished builders with deep roots in the Belleville community.
When we started our company in 2001, we didn’t want to be “just another home builder”. Our goal was to develop homes that were lifestyle-oriented with a big-city feel…homes built with homeowners’ needs in mind for today and the future…homes different from anything else offered in the Quinte market.
We are currently building in three subdivisions in Belleville, including Potters Creek, Settlers Ridge and Harbour Landing. Past projects include Carriage Lea Estates on Avondale Road (Phases 1 through 4), Hearthstone Estates off Mudcat Lane, Oak Ridge Estates in Stirling, and many custom homes across Belleville, Quinte West, and Prince Edward County. Together, owners Dustin & Julie have helped to shape the landscapes of some of Quinte’s most sought-after residential areas.
Dustin and Julie VanSoelen
Dustin was born and raised in Belleville and grew up in the construction business. He spent his boyhood summers working in the family landscaping company. Before starting his own business, he travelled the world, gaining valuable experience building new homes in Western Canada and supervising construction projects in Sydney, Australia. His formal training includes civil/environmental engineering technology at Kingston’s St. Lawrence College.
Julie brings to the company a wealth of business experience. She has a background in accounting and is involved in every facet of the company’s daily activities.
The two talents have created a dynamic team, raising the bar for new home-building standards in the area. Since 2000, they have constructed some of the area’s most distinctive custom home designs and communities in the Bay of Quinte Region.
Duvanco Homes is licensed by the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) which holds licensed builders to professional standards for competence and conduct, giving homebuyers confidence when making one of the biggest purchases of their lives – a new home.
