Leslieville is our home base — the shop is at 276 Carlaw Ave, and a meaningful percentage of our work is within walking distance. Housing here is mostly two-story semi-detached and detached homes north of Queen East, condo mid-rises along Carlaw and Dundas, and industrial-loft conversions in the former manufacturing buildings along Eastern and Logan.
For the house stock, the common services are furnace replacement (a lot of Leslieville houses still have 1990s mid-efficiency furnaces that are due), central AC repair, and duct cleaning after basement finishing projects. For the loft conversions on Carlaw and Eastern, ductless mini-split installs and repairs are the workhorse job — most were originally sold without integrated cooling, and cooling loads on top-floor units are real.
Response time here is our best in the city by a wide margin. We can be on a Leslieville call in under fifteen minutes most of the day, and we prioritize local emergency dispatch — no-heat and no-cool calls in the neighbourhood are frequently a same-hour visit rather than a same-day one.
