Fixly serves The Annex — Bloor West, Spadina, Bathurst. IKEA assembly, shelves, wall mounting, and minor repairs in older apartments and low-rise condos. $79 first 2 hrs.
The Annex has a mix of building types that requires a bit more knowledge than a typical new-build condo.
The Annex sits between Bloor/Spadina and Bathurst, running north toward Dupont. The neighbourhood is a mix of Victorian houses converted into apartments, low-rise 1960s–80s walk-ups, and a handful of newer condos. The older buildings — the converted houses and mid-century walk-ups — often have plaster-over-lath walls rather than drywall. This matters a lot for mounting.
Plaster needs a different approach: toggle anchors rather than standard plastic plugs, and knowing where to probe for wood lath behind the plaster for heavier items. We've worked in enough Annex apartments to know what to expect. Common jobs here: IKEA assembly for renters and recent movers, floating shelf installation, wall mounting, picture hanging, and the occasional light fixture swap.
One flat rate, no matter what your building age or wall type.
IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon, Article — all brands assembled. We navigate tight hallways and narrow staircases in older Annex buildings without complaint.
Fixed and tilt mounts on plaster or drywall walls. We'll locate lath or studs behind plaster before drilling. Cables managed or routed.
Floating shelves, gallery walls, mirrors, and art. Correct anchors for plaster walls — toggle bolts where needed, lath-backed screws for heavy pieces.
Sticky or misaligned doors (common in older Annex buildings that shift with seasons), loose hinges, cabinet adjustments, and light fixture swaps.
Same rate for every building in The Annex, old or new. No call-out fee, no travel charge, pay after the job.
Hardware billed at cost. Plaster-wall jobs don't cost more — same hourly rate applies.
