Our warehouse is in the Don Mills area, so North York is where a lot of our Toronto days start. The work splits three ways: the condo towers along Yonge from Sheppard to Finch and around Bayview Village, the 1950s and 60s bungalows of Don Mills, Willowdale, Bathurst Manor and Newtonbrook, and the apartment corridors along Sheppard, Finch and Jane, where the walls are concrete.
North York bathrooms, and what each one needs
- Yonge and Sheppard, Willowdale, Bayview Village condos. Tiled showers on hollow walls and small ensuites. Weekday-morning bookings, one cart, no elevator booking in most buildings.
- Don Mills, Willowdale, Bathurst Manor, Newtonbrook, Henry Farm. Bungalows and side-splits with original ceramic tile, our standard surface.
- Apartment towers along Sheppard, Finch, Jane and Wilson. Concrete and block behind the tile, which needs anchors most handymen do not carry. Our installers do.
- Renovated bathrooms in Hoggs Hollow and York Mills. Porcelain and marble take slower drilling and different anchors, stated in the quote.
What we install in North York homes
- Brushed stainless steel grab bars, 18-inch and 24-inch, straight or L-shaped, diamond-knurled grip, covered end caps, no rust. Rated for 500 lb.
- Anchoring matched to the wall: ceramic tile as standard, porcelain, marble and granite with the extra drilling they need, fiberglass and acrylic surrounds, concrete and block, and a WingIts anchor on drywall. Every hole sealed against water.
- Fitted on the same visit: toilet safety rails, hand-held shower wands with a grab bar mount, anti-slip treatment for the tub floor, bath benches.
- Five-year parts and labour warranty on every installed bar. Fully insured, WSIB covered.
How a North York visit works
- Photos first. Two pictures of the tub or shower. We reply with the bars we recommend, where each goes, and a firm quote. Nobody comes to sell you anything.
- The walkthrough. On the day, before any drilling, the installer shows the bars and confirms every position for how the person actually moves. If the bars are for a parent, we work with them directly.
- One visit, one to three hours. Bars are ready to use 12 hours later, once the sealant has set, and the bathroom is left clean.
North York General, Sunnybrook and Humber River discharges are the most common reason a family calls, and with the warehouse in Don Mills most North York installations are scheduled within days, often sooner.

Grab bar installation in North York: common questions
Do you install grab bars in North York condos?
Yes. The Yonge corridor towers are a large share of our work. We book weekday mornings, bring everything up on one cart, need no elevator booking in most buildings, and no permit is required.
Can grab bars be anchored into a concrete apartment wall?
Yes. Many North York towers have concrete or block behind the tile. Our installers carry the anchors for it, seal every hole, and the bar holds 500 lb.
How soon can you come to North York?
Our warehouse is in the Don Mills area, so once we have your photos and you approve the quote, most installations are scheduled within days and same-day visits are possible when a crew is nearby.
Can I arrange this for a parent in North York from out of town?
Yes. Send the photos and approve the quote from anywhere. We confirm the positions with your parent on the day, before any drilling, and text you when it is done.
What North York-area customers say
“Thought you’d like to know that my girlfriend is super happy with the grab bars! It makes her feel much safer getting in and out of the tub, and honestly gives me so much more peace of mind, too.”
Sam P.
“Grab bar installation should really be done by someone who installs them professionally. I am glad I chose Trenworks to install three grab bars in my bathroom for my elderly father. The installer did a fantastic job. I will recommend them to anyone who needs grab bars installed.”
