City of Toronto
Handyman services in Toronto, Ontario
Toronto is two cities in one: almost half its homes are apartments in buildings of five or more storeys, and 29% of all homes were built in 1960 or earlier — the houses where lead pipes, old wiring and basement flooding are. In Toronto 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.

Toronto has heritage conservation districts across the city. Inside one, new construction, alterations and additions need a heritage permit, which is separate from — and does not replace — a building permit.

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.
