North York: A Neighbourhood We Know
North York’s housing stock is varied – postwar bungalows and detached family homes make up the majority of our work, alongside mid-century two-storeys and the occasional high-rise condo renovation. The family home is our primary focus, and North York has no shortage of them: well-built homes from the 1950s through the 1980s that are structurally sound but ready for a meaningful update.
These homes have their own character and their own common challenges. Kitchens and bathrooms that haven’t been touched since they were built. Basements that were finished once, decades ago, and need to be brought back to life. Original flooring under carpet. Walls that need more than a coat of paint. We’ve seen all of it, and we know how to handle it.
The North York Office - Run by Nader Hemmati
Nader Hemmati
Nader brings something unusual to home renovation: a master’s degree in engineering and nearly a decade of professional home inspection experience before joining The HandyForce as a franchisee in 2024. That background means Nader sees a home the way a building scientist does – not just what needs to be renovated, but why, and what the right sequence is to do it properly.
What his clients consistently notice, beyond his technical knowledge, is his approach. Nader is patient, calm, and genuinely unhurried. A renovation is a significant event in a homeowner’s life, and he treats it that way – taking the time to make sure every client fully understands the plan, the timeline, and what to expect at every stage. Questions are never an imposition. Concerns are addressed, not dismissed.
His inspection background also means he catches things during a quote visit that other contractors miss – early signs of moisture, structural considerations that could affect a planned renovation, opportunities to do something smarter than what was originally asked for. It’s the kind of insight that saves clients money and avoids surprises.
What We Know About North York Homes
Kitchens ready for reinvention
North York’s family homes often have kitchens that were well-designed for their era but haven’t kept up with how families cook and live today. Limited storage, dated layouts, materials that have seen better decades. We renovate these kitchens completely – custom 3D cabinet design, stone counters, new flooring, new lighting – and we do it without leaving the family without a functioning kitchen for weeks.
Real project:
A North York client needed a kitchen renovation and had very specific storage ideas – pull-out drawers, custom spice rack inserts, specialised bin storage, a slide-out cutting board, a dedicated vegetable-rinse sink with its own tap. She’d called several kitchen renovation companies before us. None of them could source or build everything she wanted from a single contractor. We could. Our network of millwork partners and suppliers meant we weren’t limited to what one catalogue carries. Full story on our kitchen renovation page.
Basements with untapped potential
North York basements vary considerably – some are raw and unfinished, some were finished in the 1980s and need to be completely redone, and some are structurally straightforward but damp, poorly insulated, or simply outdated. We handle all of it: waterproofing, framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, electrical, and full finishing. One contractor, one fixed price, one project manager. Check out our basement renovation page for more information.

Bathrooms that need a fresh start
Whether it’s a dated main floor bathroom that hasn’t been touched since the house was built, or a basement bathroom being added as part of a finishing project, bathroom renovation is one of our most requested services across North York. We bring tile samples to your home, reinstall your toilet at the end of every workday if it’s your only bathroom, and deliver a fixed-price quote before a single thing is touched. See our bathroom renovation page for the full process.
