Leaside houses
Leaside’s brick houses often keep their original doors, trim and plaster. These older parts reward patient repairs over quick replacements. Our approach is to adjust and repair what can stay, and replace only what has failed.

Leaside’s brick houses sit a short walk from the smaller post-war homes of Woodbine Heights and Danforth Village. Thorncliffe Park and Crescent Town add apartment towers, where concrete walls change how shelves and TVs go up.
Smaller post-war homes
Around Woodbine Heights and Danforth Village, many homes are compact, with steep stairs and small bathrooms. A second handrail or a grab bar can make daily life easier. Each one goes into solid backing, at a height you choose with us.
Towers in Thorncliffe Park and Crescent Town
Apartment and condo walls here are often concrete. Shelves, TVs and curtain tracks go up with a hammer drill and concrete anchors. Before the visit, tell us any building rules about elevators or noise.
Windows and screens
Older casement windows need cranks, latches and screens that still work. We replace stripped operators, rescreen frames and free up sticking sashes. A failed sealed unit goes to a glazier instead.
Doors that close properly again
Sticking, rattling or sagging doors are common in houses this age. Hinges, strikes and weatherstripping fix most of them. Where a door is beyond repair, a new one goes into the same opening.

Handyman questions from East York homeowners
Can you work on a Leaside house with plaster walls?
Yes. Plaster needs slow drilling and fixings that reach the studs. Shelves, mirrors and TVs can then hang on it without cracking the wall.
Do you install handrails on narrow basement stairs?
Yes. We fix the rail into studs or solid blocking along its length. A rail on both sides helps when stairs are steep.
Can you mount shelves in a Thorncliffe Park apartment?
Yes. Concrete walls take a hammer drill and concrete anchors rated for the load. If you rent, ask your landlord before we drill.
Can you replace a screen door or storm door?
Yes. We fit the new door to your opening and adjust the closer so it shuts gently. Weatherstripping on the main door can join the visit.
Do you take small jobs in East York?
Yes, small jobs are what a handyman visit is for. A list of three to five makes the trip worth booking. Your quote shows each job separately.
