Rentals and student housing

Turnover is frequent near the campus; a rekey between tenancies is the simplest control.
Landlords can use keypads so turnover does not depend on keys.
Tenants should ask the landlord before changing any lock.

Homes

Older streets in Downtown Oshawa and Lakeview.
Newer subdivisions in Northwood and Windfields.

Business

Simcoe Street and King Street shops.
Industrial areas along the 401.

Distance

Oshawa is a longer trip from Scarborough. We give an honest arrival estimate and price range before dispatch.

Thirty kilometres east

Oshawa is our farthest main Durham stop, roughly thirty kilometres from the Finch Avenue office. Arrival windows here are longer than for Scarborough, and traffic on the 401 is the biggest variable. Calls to the Oshawa Centre area, Simcoe Street, Harmony Road and Bond Street are dispatched according to where the nearest technician is.

Homes, campuses and shops

Older homes in central Oshawa need strike and frame checks, student housing near Ontario Tech and Durham College often needs rekeying between tenants, and the commercial strips along King Street and Simcoe Street use closers, exit devices and keypads. Mention if the building has a fob system so the technician arrives ready.
