Home Resetters Property Services Inc. is an incorporated handyman and property-services company from downtown Toronto that crosses Etobicoke Creek to work in Mississauga. It serves six areas in person: Mississauga, Toronto, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough and Vaughan. Here the work runs from the towers of the city centre to the houses, semis and townhouses of the suburbs around them. The company also runs a cottage-care membership for GTA owners with cottages in Nipissing and North Bay, the Almaguin Highlands, Temagami, and Huntsville and Lake of Bays.

How we work in Mississauga
Mississauga visits are scheduled by area. We group assembly and mounting bookings from west of Etobicoke Creek into the same days, and settle the date with you once the quote is agreed. The founder does that work himself, and small repairs can share the visit. Larger projects are quoted with our licensed trade partners, and which partner covers your address is confirmed before you see a price; the project then sits in one written contract with us, as set out under larger projects.
Crossing the city line changes more than the drive. Mississauga is in Peel Region, so parking, garbage and permits follow Mississauga and Peel rules rather than Toronto's, and we plan around them: where a van can stand, when the streets must be empty overnight, and what the Region will take from your curb. Every job still starts the same way, with a written, flat-rate quote before any work begins.
The homes, and the work they bring
Mississauga had 244,575 households at the 2021 Census, and 70.4 percent of them owned their home, according to Statistics Canada. Its housing is a suburb's mix with a city's towers: 37.1 percent detached houses, 25.1 percent semi-detached and row houses, and 27.3 percent apartments in buildings of five storeys or more. The two halves are run differently: 93.7 percent of the detached houses are lived in by their owners, while 63 percent of tower households rent.
Half the stock, 50.3 percent, was built between 1961 and 1990, and the 1970s and 1980s alone account for 39.1 percent. A further 7.2 percent dates from 1960 or before, and only 7.3 percent has been built since 2011. Asked about the state of their homes, households described 21.8 percent of Mississauga dwellings as needing minor repairs and 4.8 percent as needing major ones.
That age profile sets the usual list. Houses and townhouses from the 1970s and 1980s want doors rehung, caulking redone, trim and hardware replaced, and walls patched after decades of pictures and shelves. Semis and townhouses share a wall with the neighbours, which matters when a TV goes up: we confirm what the wall is made of before choosing anchors. Backyards bring fences, decks, sheds and leaf cleanups, and the towers in the city centre bring move-ins, mounting on concrete and service elevators to book.
Parking works differently past the creek
Mississauga allows on-street parking for five hours unless signs say otherwise, and nobody may park on a street between 2 and 6 a.m., all year, without a permit. A temporary permit lasts five days, and each licence plate can get 14 of them a year. For a long visit, we ask about the driveway first; for a condo, about the visitor parking and the loading area.
Garbage is the Region’s job
In Mississauga, garbage and bulky items are collected by Peel Region, not by the City. Peel takes furniture, mattresses and barbecues (with the propane tank removed) from the curb for free on your regular garbage day, as long as they are out by 7 a.m., and its Community Recycling Centres also accept bulky items, for a fee.
With that service in place, junk removal earns its price when the volume is large, when everything is in a basement or a storage locker, or when a move-out date will not wait for the next collection day.
