Port Credit in the 2001 census

Old housing, mostly apartments and rentals

Port Credit has old housing in an unusual mix. The village was surveyed in 1834, railway building and a great fire in 1855 brought a period of decline for the harbour, the St. Lawrence Starch Company was founded in 1889, and Port Credit became a town in 1961 before joining Mississauga in 1974. The City’s community profile, built on 2001 census data, shows how different it was from the rest of the city (City of Mississauga community profile). Of 4,995 dwellings, 14.1 per cent predated 1946 against 1.7 per cent city-wide, and 95.1 per cent predated 1981 against about half city-wide. Only 21.0 per cent were single-detached houses, against 44.6 per cent city-wide, while 48.7 per cent were in apartment buildings of five storeys or more and 17.7 per cent in buildings under five storeys. Two in three households rented, and 9.4 per cent of dwellings needed major repairs, against 5.1 per cent for Mississauga. Newer building has changed the picture since 2001: Port Credit Village on the former Starch Works site was completed in 2005, and the Brightwater plan for the former Imperial Oil lands was endorsed in 2019.

Port Credit floors by building type

Pre-1946 houses

Village-era houses, 14.1 per cent of dwellings in the 2001 census, usually on plank subfloor over sawn joists.

1946 to 1980 houses

81.0 per cent of Port Credit dwellings dated from 1946 to 1980 in 2001; in the houses among them, plank or plywood is nailed to dimensional joists.

Rented and condo units

With 67.0 per cent of households renting in 2001, many repairs start with a landlord or building manager.

From one of our repairs

A worn plank beside the fridge

The top layer of this plank has worn through beside the fridge, and only that plank needs replacing, not the floor around it. In Port Credit, where many homes are rented units, a single-plank repair like this is arranged with the landlord or building manager first.

What we sort out first in Port Credit

House or unit

A detached house books directly; a unit needs the building's contractor rules and the owner's approval first.

Renting? The landlord books it

In Ontario a landlord must give a tenant at least 24 hours' written notice before entering for repairs, so the landlord arranges the visit.

Concrete or joist floor

Apartment buildings of five storeys or more usually have concrete slab floors, where the noise is in the flooring layer rather than at a joist.

Village-era houses checked for plank

Pre-1946 houses commonly have plank subfloor, which is fastened down board by board.

Reviews from clients, including an urgent repair

5/5

We hired them to fix squeaking and movement in our hardwood floor. They identified the underlying problem quickly and completed the repair without needing to replace the entire floor. Everything now feels solid and quiet.

Jennifer

Direct Client

5/5

We needed an urgent flooring repair after several boards became loose and uneven. The team responded quickly, secured the boards, and corrected the uneven sections. Professional service and a high-quality repair from start to finish.

Robert

Direct Client

5/5

They repaired several damaged hardwood boards in our living room and blended the replacements beautifully with the existing floor. The team was punctual, tidy, and careful throughout the job. You can barely tell where the damage was.

Port Credit floor questions

How old is Port Credit housing compared with the rest of Mississauga?

Considerably older. In the 2001 census, 14.1 per cent of Port Credit dwellings predated 1946, against 1.7 per cent for Mississauga as a whole, and 95.1 per cent predated 1981, against about half city-wide. That was a larger pre-1946 share than Lakeview, Cooksville or Streetsville had in the same census.

Most of Port Credit seems to be apartments. Do you work in those?

Yes, we work on floors in apartments and condominiums, and that matters here: only 21.0 per cent of Port Credit dwellings were single-detached in the 2001 census, and 48.7 per cent were in buildings of five storeys or more. Those taller buildings usually have concrete floors, so a noise there is in the flooring rather than a joist. In any multi-unit building, confirm contractor access and what counts as unit property with your property manager first.

Is the housing at Port Credit Village or Brightwater old enough to squeak from age?

No. Port Credit Village was built on the former Starch Works site and completed in 2005, and Brightwater on the former Imperial Oil lands is more recent again. Those are modern floor systems, so a noise there would be a construction or floating-floor issue rather than decades of accumulated movement.
