Streetsville calls itself the Village in the City. Its historic Queen Street South is lined with independent shops, restaurants and older buildings, surrounded by established residential streets and newer neighbourhoods towards Meadowvale.

Streetsville is within our regular GTA mobile coverage. We operate 24/7; because technicians travel from Toronto, the arrival window depends on where the nearest one is and on traffic, and the dispatcher tells you honestly before anyone is sent.
Heritage and older homes near the village core, 1970s-and-later subdivisions around it, and small commercial buildings along Queen Street South with front and rear entrances.
Streetsville's older homes and village storefronts share a common problem: doors that have been painted, re-hung and re-hardwared many times over the decades. Screws strip out of softened wood, strikes drift out of line, and locks get blamed for problems that start in the frame. We look at the whole door first. A properly hung door with a solid strike will make even a modest lock work well, while a new lock on a sagging door will soon start sticking again.
