Dreko Contracting Ltd. & Property Management
Tired of coordinating between your property manager and contractor? We're both — so your property gets built right, maintained fast, and managed by someone who actually understands what's behind the walls.
What We Do
We don't just collect rent — we protect your investment and your tenants' privacy. In-person tenant interviews to place quality tenants, secure document handling, proper 24-hour written notice before any entry, and seasonal property inspections to catch problems before they cost you. A Dreko-managed property means landlords sleep easier and tenants stay longer.
Drywall, plumbing, electrical, paint, fixtures, appliances, unit turnovers — handled by our in-house trades at competitive rates. No third-party markups, no waiting weeks for quotes. Fast response, fair pricing, and repairs done right the first time.
Purpose-built detached garden suites designed for Ontario zoning — from architectural drawings and permit applications through to construction and tenant placement. One team, start to finish.
Full-scope residential construction including framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall, and soundproofing. Whether it's a full conversion, a lakefront renovation, or a unit refresh — we handle the entire build, not just pieces of it.
Thinking about adding a garden suite or converting to multi-unit? We'll walk you through feasibility, costs, timelines, zoning, and expected returns before you commit a dollar.
Featured Project
A single-family home converted into a fully tenanted triplex with two renovated interior units and a detached garden suite. End-to-end execution: permitting, construction, tenant placement, and ongoing management — all handled by Dreko.
This project demonstrates our full build-to-manage pipeline. Every unit was designed for optimal rental yield in the Bradford-to-Barrie corridor, with market-rate pricing validated through our own rental analysis.
The Difference
High-rise standards. Neighbourhood scale.
Condo tenants get a management office, a maintenance team, and a standard of care. Tenants in a triplex get their landlord's cell number. That gap shouldn't exist — and with Dreko, it doesn't.
We bring professional property management to the space that's been overlooked: duplexes, triplexes, garden suites, and small multiplexes. The buildings where most of Ontario's rental growth is happening, but where professional management has never been the norm.
Let's be honest — tenants would rather deal with a professional management team than have their landlord show up to fix a leaky faucet. And landlords would rather not get eaten alive by $450 mini-split inspections and $300 toilet calls from outside contractors. Dreko solves both sides. We're the professional buffer that tenants want and the in-house trades team that landlords need — and because we are the contractor, every repair is priced fairly, done fast, and done right.
Tenants get a responsive, professional management team — not their landlord at the door. Landlords get peace of mind and controlled costs without being the point of contact for every issue.
Most managers call a contractor. We are the contractor. In-house carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC means repairs get resolved — not escalated and marked up.
We go beyond credit checks and references. Every prospective tenant sits down with us so we can assess fit — not just approval. Better tenants mean fewer issues and longer tenancies.
Proper N-forms, correct notice periods, LTB-ready documentation, and strict property access protocols. Tenant data is handled securely, and every maintenance visit is scheduled and documented.
Because we are the contractor, routine items like drywall repairs, paint, fixture swaps, and unit turnovers are priced at contractor rates — no middleman margins eating into your returns.
Beyond Maintenance
Most property managers wait for something to break. We look for what's about to — and what's quietly costing you money every month.
Every Dreko-managed property receives seasonal inspections — a structured walkthrough that covers the building envelope, mechanical systems, appliances, and common wear items. Think of it as a property health check that catches small issues before they become expensive emergencies.
Our energy and efficiency assessments identify problems that never make it into a standard maintenance report: drafty windows, underperforming HVAC systems, missing attic insulation, and appliances running harder than they should. We fix what we find with our own trades, and where upgrades qualify for Ontario rebate programs, we handle the paperwork too.
The result: lower utility costs, fewer emergency repairs, longer equipment lifespan, and a property that holds its value — not one that slowly deteriorates between tenant turnovers.
Clean filters, check refrigerant, inspect ductwork, and tune heating/cooling systems for peak performance.
Check weatherstripping, caulking, windows, and doors for air leaks that drive up heating bills.
Inspect attic and wall insulation levels. Identify rebate-qualifying upgrades through Enbridge and Ontario programs.
Clean condenser coils on fridges, service mini-split fins and filters, check water heater efficiency.
Site assessment for rooftop solar, net metering feasibility, and EV charger installation — with rebate guidance.
We identify which upgrades qualify for Ontario and federal rebate programs, and help with the application process.
What People Say
"During a unit turnover, Dreko found that a poorly installed skylight had been leaking behind the drywall for years — the exterior wall was rotting between the studs. They caught it, tore it out, repaired the framing and sealed everything properly, all between tenants. If they hadn't spotted it, I'd have been looking at months of vacancy and a much bigger bill."
"Running a seasonal rental on the lake means higher turnover and tenants who aren't as careful with the place. Between the wind and ice damage off Lake Simcoe and the wear-and-tear from short-term guests coming and going, this property needs constant attention. Dreko stays on top of it — they handle repairs between bookings, keep the units in shape, and deal with the kind of maintenance that would overwhelm a typical property manager."
