Downtown and the waterfront
Concrete slab, elevator bookings and board rules. Acoustic underlay is not optional here – most declarations set IIC 55 and STC 55 as the floor, and older buildings ask for more.

About our service areas
Do you work outside these neighbourhoods?
Ask. These are the areas we route crews to regularly, so scheduling there is easiest. Work further out is quoted case by case depending on the size of the job.
Does the neighbourhood change the price?
Not the rate. It changes the scope. A downtown condo adds acoustic underlay and board paperwork; an East York semi may need a plywood overlay before hardwood can be nailed down. Both show as separate lines on the quote.
Why are your areas grouped this way?
Because the building stock is grouped this way. Downtown is concrete slab, the York corridor and East York are wood-framed. The substrate decides the method, so the geography follows the construction rather than the map.
