This hardware store is my go-to for hardware, paint, garden and household items. The sales are good, the staff is very helpful. I've bought everything from a large awning to tiny nails here.

My garage used to be a horse barn for a market gardener around 1900. Over time, the boulevard behind my garage raised in height. Then I noticed about 5 years ago that the garage floor would sometimes leak after a rainstorm. In 2021, the floor was wet more than it wasn't and I also noticed that the concrete had lowered under the doorway to the back yard. Toronto's Finest Concrete removed layers of concrete rubble and wood and replaced the floor with cement with the proper footings. Additionally, they buttressed the walls with 6 inches of concrete to prevent runoff from snow. I also had the company pour a high layer of concrete under my front porch to stop any future runoff because of changing weather patterns. Toronto's Finest Concrete is a a family firm and their skill & pride in their trade really shows.

My front load Kenmore washer just quit mid-cycle and could not drain. I asked for neighbourhood recommendations and George at Toronto Appliance Repair certainly earned my neighbours' high opinions. He came when it was convenient, diagnosed the problem and the washer works as good as...new. If you have Kenmore Appliances, he is one of the few repairers who listed Kenmore, since Sears left Canada.

My older house had some of the first insulated steel doors and the weatherstripping was toast. I wanted someone to get the right stuff and stop the cold air leaking around three exterior doors. I also had a busted sliding closet door that needed to be replaced. The technician came with all of the material and closet door system he needed. He was friendly and prepared -- he had a bigger range of fasteners than some hardware stores. When I later noticed a problem with my deadbolt no longer working on the weatherstripped front door, he came on a Saturday to fix it. I like that they stand by their work and can efficiently do a wide range of tasks.
