Home management for the large period homes of South Hill and Casa Loma.
Period homes on the hill need trades who respect what is original and fix what is failing. Your Zebrano Home Manager coordinates masons, roofers, plumbers and finish carpenters, checks heritage status before exterior work, and keeps a yearly maintenance plan so the house is ready for each season.
The chimney of a large Edwardian stone house on a slope starts shedding mortar, and water shows at a plaster ceiling below it. The owner calls the Home Manager, who brings in licensed, vetted and insured masons and a roofer to look at the chimney and flashing together. The repair is made at the source, and the plaster is repaired afterwards. The findings go into the Annual Home Care Plan, and any retaining wall or drainage work is noted in the Five-Year Capital Plan.
South Hill and the streets around Casa Loma hold large Edwardian and early 20th-century homes along the escarpment, with stone and brick, deep lots and generous original detail.
