Leslieville's Victorian semis and converted industrial lofts are some of the most characterful — and trickiest — homes in the city to work on. Old plaster, settled frames and quirky additions are everyday territory for our builder-trained technicians, whether it's mounting a TV, patching drywall, swapping a vanity or re-hanging a door that hasn't closed right in years.
We serve the whole neighbourhood — Riverside, Jimmie Simpson, Greenwood and the Queen and Gerrard strips — at our flat $150 / $280 / $410 rates with no east-end surcharge. Same-day where possible, licensed, insured and guaranteed.

Leslieville's housing grew up around factories and rail lines, and that history shows in the homes we work on. Many streets between Queen and Gerrard are lined with narrow worker's cottages and attached row houses on small lots, often extended at the back over several decades. Those rear additions are where we find most of the trouble: floors that slope where the old house meets the new, doors that rub because the addition settled at a different rate, and drywall cracks along the seam between the two structures. A good handyman fix here starts with understanding which part moved.
Shared walls are the other Leslieville reality. In a semi or a row house, the party wall is usually solid brick behind the plaster, so mounting a TV, a bike rack or heavy shelving on it calls for masonry anchors rather than the drywall plugs a hardware store kit includes. We drill cleanly, keep dust down and patch around old wiring paths we come across, and we flag anything that looks like it needs a licensed electrician.
The converted factory buildings around Carlaw and Dundas bring a different list: exposed brick, concrete ceilings, tall windows that need custom-length curtain tracks or blinds, and open layouts where a floating shelf or a mounted TV becomes the focal point of the room. These buildings usually have elevator booking rules and quiet hours, and we work within them. Our TV wall mounting service covers brick, concrete and steel-stud walls.
Across Riverside, Jimmie Simpson and Greenwood, everyday requests include re-hanging doors, replacing worn trim, patching ceilings after a plumbing repair, swapping light fixtures on existing boxes, installing new faucets and toilets, and fixing gaps in caulking around tubs. Backyards are tight and front yards are tiny, so we plan where materials and tools go before we arrive.
Labour is billed at the same flat Toronto rates, with materials at supplier cost and receipts provided. There is no trip charge for the east end, and Saturday appointments are available. For walls that need more than a quick patch, see our drywall and wall repair page.
