House cleaning in Thornhill
PavMa Cleaning works out of 5740 Yonge Street in North York, a short drive south of Thornhill. We clean homes on both sides of Yonge, in the Vaughan part of Thornhill and the Markham part.
One community, two cities
Thornhill is not a city of its own. The part west of Yonge Street belongs to the City of Vaughan, and the part east of Yonge to the City of Markham, so your address may say Thornhill while your municipality is Vaughan or Markham. Both are in our service area, and the side of the street changes nothing about the visit.
West of Yonge: Vaughan
Vaughan protects its part of the old village as the Thornhill-Vaughan Heritage Conservation District, studied at the same time as the Markham one.
On Yonge: our office
5740 Yonge St, Unit 304, North York, ON M2M 0B1, on Yonge just north of Finch Avenue, about 4 km south of Thornhill.
East of Yonge: Markham
Markham's Thornhill Heritage Conservation District, adopted by Council in 1986, was the first heritage district in Markham.
A village that grew along Yonge
Thornhill is one of Ontario's earliest settlements, dating from the first construction of Yonge Street, and its old village core still has houses from the 1840s. The dates below come from the City of Markham's Thornhill heritage district plan.
- 1801The first mill is built where the river meets Yonge, and a village grows around it.
- 1840s–60sGeorgian and Neo-Classical houses go up in the village core; many still stand.
- 1846Britain repeals the Corn Laws, the grain boom ends, and slow growth keeps the old village intact.
- Mid-1900sVeterans' housing arrives in the Cape Cod cottage style.
- 1986Markham adopts the Thornhill Heritage Conservation District.
Houses from the 1840s, '50s and '60s still stand in the Markham district, beside mid-century Cape Cod cottages and newer homes built in the village style. Under the district plan, interior work does not need a heritage permit, but original wood floors, trim and plaster still deserve a gentler plan than a new build.
If your home has them, say so when you request the quote or send photos on WhatsApp. Mention delicate materials and anything to avoid, and we confirm the scope before the cleaning begins.
