Etobicoke is one of the suburbs where high-rise apartments spread after the war, says the City’s archive.
Read about City of Toronto Archives: high-rise livingEtobicoke runs from older houses in The Kingsway to lakeside streets in Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch. Doors, plaster and window hardware that have seen decades of use are the usual jobs here.
Living in a Humber Bay Shores condo instead? Concrete walls there call for condo-style work: TV mounting, blinds and closet systems.
Many Kingsway and Islington houses have plaster walls rather than drywall. Plaster cracks if drilled carelessly, so we use sharp bits and fixings that reach the studs. Mirrors, shelves and TVs then hang securely without spidering cracks.
Old frames shift as houses age, so your doors may stick or swing open on their own. Resetting hinges, shimming the frame or planing the edge where it rubs usually solves it. For a new slab, we cut the hinges and lock to fit an out-of-square frame.
If you live near the lake, your house faces wind and damp air off the water. Weatherstripping, door sweeps and fresh exterior caulk help keep drafts and moisture out. Screens and window cranks often need attention after a few seasons too.
Original casing and baseboards give older Etobicoke rooms their character. Where a piece is split or missing, we show you the closest profile beside the old trim. Each repaired piece ends up caulked and ready for paint.
Your backyard fence takes a beating from frost each winter. One rotten post can come out without rebuilding the whole run, once the utility locate is in place. Sagging gates get new hinges, a brace or a reset post.

Doors, trim, screens and any parts appear as separate lines. You’ll get a clear, itemized price before any work starts.
A Toronto house with one unit needs no permit to swap a door in its existing opening. A condo door needs a permit and the building’s approval.
City of Toronto permit informationYes. We drill plaster carefully and fix into studs or use anchors made for plaster. Very heavy mirrors may also need a cleat along the bottom.
Yes. Many condo walls there are concrete, so we bring a hammer drill and concrete anchors. Share your building’s elevator and noise rules when you book.
Yes. New weatherstripping and a door sweep stop most drafts around an exterior door. Recaulking the outside trim can happen in the same visit.
Often, or very close to it. You see the nearest profile beside your trim before any cutting. For a long wall, replacing the whole run can look more even.
Humid summer air swells wood doors, and older frames have often shifted too. Tightening hinges or moving the strike fixes most cases. If the door still rubs, we plane only what the fit needs.
