Toronto homes have character, and they also have quirks. Narrow lots, shared walls, plaster, old wiring and tight basement stairs all change how a job gets done. MAH Contracting is a licensed and insured team that works in Toronto homes every week, from century semis to newer condos and townhouses.
Working in older Toronto homes
A lot of houses in neighbourhoods like Leslieville, the Danforth, the Junction, East York and the Beaches were built long before today’s appliances and electrical loads. When we open walls, we often find things like:
- Knob and tube or early wiring that needs to be replaced before new lights or outlets go in
- Small electrical panels that cannot handle an EV charger, a heat pump or a new kitchen
- Old galvanized or cast iron pipes that are close to the end of their life
- Low basement ceilings and uneven floors that need planning before finishing
We tell you what we find, show you, and price it in writing before any extra work starts.
