HOME RENOVATION COMPANY IN TORONTO FOR STRUCTURAL ISSUES
A house should be a solid, safe, and structurally sound structure for every family, and we at Quasar Trend very well know that. Living in a place as Toronto and the GTA means having to deal with a variety of old, character homes and newer builds. Unfortunately, both types have a tendency to hide major structural problems. For years, degradation by age, the shifting soil, poor craftsmanship, or extremes in weather have combated every integrity of your home.
By long experience in comprehensive home renovation throughout the region, Quasar Trend has faced and handled innumerable structural concerns. Here are a few of the most common structural problems we normally come across in homes throughout Toronto and surrounding areas along with how we help the homeowner fix them.
Cracked and Broken Floor Joists
Floor joists are the backbone of your home’s flooring system. When they become cracked, bowed, or broken due to age, water damage, or overloading, it can lead to sagging floors, uneven surfaces, and even a risk of collapse in severe cases.
At Quasar Trend, we specialize in identifying compromised joists and providing reinforcement, sistering, or full replacement services to restore your home’s stability and safety.
Uneven Floors
A key indicator of a problem in building structure is uneven, sloping, or bouncing floors. Uneven floors, whether due to settled foundations, aging floor joists, or shifting support beams, affect the appearance of one’s home and can become hazardous. We offer accurate structural diagnostics with custom-made repair solutions to even out floors and balance a home.
Load-Bearing Posts Not Properly Supported
In case of an older house or bad renovation, you could find load-bearing posts misplaced and insufficiently supported, leading to eventual sagging of floors, cracking in walls, and the marriage of sagging ceilings. Our team ensures that all structural posts and beams are correctly installed and bolstered to transfer loads down safely into the foundation, protecting your home’s framework years down the line.
Tilted Houses Due to Settled Footings
The footings of most houses in Toronto tend to settle unevenly owing to varying weather conditions and clay-heavy soil. As a result, most houses visually tilt or lean. This may lead to a host of problems such as cracks on walls, doors sticking, and misaligned windows. Quasar Trend provides footing stabilization, underpinning, and structural leveling services through which this issue can be corrected and movement further prevented.
Cracked Foundation Walls
Among the most serious structural problems a home can face are cracks in the foundation. Left unattended, they allow moisture to come in that can lead to subsequent mold, rot, and structural deterioration. Thus, we provide holistic foundation repair solutions that involve crack injection, waterproofing, and foundation wall reinforcement to keep your home from further damage.
Rotten and Deteriorating Roof Members
It is only time before Toronto’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads start to take a toll on the structural integrity of roofs. Rotten, broken, or sagging rafters and beams will make your roof unable to protect your home. Our well-experienced team inspects your roof framework and performs the necessary repairs or replacement to ensure a durable, weather-resistant roof system.
Presence of Mold, Airborne Asbestos, or Dangerous Gases
Some of the hidden health hazards that generally face older GTA homes include mold, asbestos, and radon gas. These airborne contaminants are highly risky and harmful to your families’ health and, thus, need the services of experts in finding and remediating them. We partner with licensed environmental specialists to address and safely remove hazardous materials and reestablish healthy livable environments.
Broken Drain Pipes or Lead Plumbing
Outdated plumbing systems, including corroded drainpipes and lead supply lines, are not only inefficient but can cause water damage and pose health risks.
Quasar Trend offers modern plumbing upgrades, replacing broken pipes and removing lead components to bring your home’s plumbing up to today’s safety standards.
Outdated and Dangerous Electrical Wiring
Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum wiring, and poorly installed DIY electrical systems are still shockingly common in older Toronto homes. These outdated systems can cause shorts, overloads, or electrical fires.
Our licensed electricians conduct detailed inspections and provide safe, code-compliant rewiring services to keep your home powered safely and reliably.

Our Home Renovation Process

We understand that starting a renovation project can be a substantial endeavor, and we’re here to guide each phase.
Here’s an overview of how our home renovation process works:
1: Initial Consultation
We begin our home renovation journey by initiating an initial consultation, during which we engage with you to explore your renovation objectives, preferences, and financial plan.
This is an opportunity for us to understand your vision and answer any questions you may have.
2: Design and Planning
Our professional home renovation team will work closely with you to develop a comprehensive renovation plan. This includes creating detailed architectural drawings, selecting materials, and providing you with design concepts that align with your vision.
3: Permits and Approvals
Depending on the project’s scope, we will handle the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities. We aim to ensure your renovation complies with all building codes and regulations.
4: Budgeting and Contracts
Once the design and plans are finalized, we provide a transparent and detailed cost estimate. We then create a comprehensive contract that outlines the scope of work, project timeline, payment schedule, and other essential terms. We believe in transparent and honest communication.
5: Construction and Project Management
With the contract in place, our skilled team of contractors and tradespeople gets to work. We manage the entire construction process, coordinating all aspects of the project to keep it on track and schedule.
6: Regular Updates
Throughout the renovation, we maintain open lines of communication with you.
You will regularly receive updates regarding the advancement of your project, and we are readily accessible to attend to any inquiries or apprehensions you might possess.
7: Quality Assurance
Quality is our priority. We use only the highest-quality materials and ensure the quality is of the highest standard. Inspections are conducted at various stages to guarantee compliance with all standards and specifications.
8: Completion and Final Inspection
Once the renovation is near completion, we conduct a final walkthrough with you to address any remaining items and ensure that everything meets your satisfaction.
9: Final Payments and Warranties
Upon successful completion and inspection, the final payment is made according to the terms of the contract. We also provide warranties on our work to give you peace of mind.
10: Post-Renovation Support
Our commitment doesn’t end with the completion of your project. We’re here to provide post-renovation support, including maintenance tips and assistance with any future renovation needs.
Homes need maintenance too!
To remain in optimal condition while reducing unnecessary costs and maintaining market value, homes need periodic maintenance and upkeep.
Factors such as the geographical location and weather conditions, occupant’s behavior, methods and quality of construction, and included features all contribute to the type and frequency of maintenance required.
A well-built home typically needs minimal maintenance during the first 20 years. Usually, it’s smaller items like repairing the furnace or A/C, replacing worn plumbing fixtures and clogged shower-heads, performing grout repairs, and sealing minor air leaks around the windows.
Home renovation services might focus on cosmetic updates to outdated designs and materials by replacing floors, cabinetry, and fixtures. However, they might focus on structure-related issues such as damaged or missing shingles, wet basements, or squeaky floors, or involve removing walls or building additions. In any case, never take a healthy house for granted and always maintain it with care.
Hidden costs; increased value
A well-considered and executed home renovation project can increase the value of your home and if desired, help it sell more quickly. Think carefully about your budget and don’t overspend for the neighbourhood your home is in. Importantly, pre-existing problems in the home are often exposed during a renovation so allocate 8-15% in the agreement to address the things that can not be foreseen. A few common examples many people are familiar with are the existence of asbestos, below-code wiring, leaks or mold behind the walls, cracked foundation walls, or rotten wall members.
