City of Toronto
Handyman services in Scarborough, Ontario
Scarborough is largely 1960s and 70s housing — 37% of its homes were built between 1961 and 1980 and 59% before 1981 — with 37% single-detached houses and 35% apartments in buildings of five or more storeys. In Scarborough that means a mix of first-winter repairs in newer homes and older doors, trim and fixtures in the rest. Anything electrical or plumbing goes to a licensed trade.

In a condo, a renovation generally needs the board’s approval first, and some corporations require approved contractors or limit work hours — check with management before the pro is booked.

For houses, the City of Toronto picks up oversized items — furniture, mattresses, appliances — set out beside the garbage bin on collection day. Condo buildings have their own rules, and a full basement is still a junk-removal job.
