Sarah M., Westboro
"I had a list of about ten small things that had been bugging me for years—a sticking door, some drywall cracks, and a wobbly deck railing. Other contractors wouldn't even return my call for such 'small' work. My Ottawa Handyman came out to Westboro, gave me a fixed price for the whole list, and finished it all in one day. I felt so relieved!"
Jean-Paul T., Orleans
"We had a pantry that was a total disaster area. Most companies I called didn't want to bother with such a 'small' job, but My Ottawa Handyman treated it like a major renovation. They installed custom adjustable shelving that has literally doubled our storage space. The fixed pricing was great—no surprises at the end. Highly recommend!"
David C., Kanata
"We manage several rental units in Kanata and need a reliable partner for residential property maintenance. This team is incredible. They handle everything from emergency handyman services when a pipe leaks to turnover repairs like painting and patching. They are fast, professional, and make my job as a landlord much easier."
Wei T., Kanata
"I tried to install a TV mount myself and hit a metal stud. I didn't have the right tools. I called them, and they sent someone the same afternoon. He had the right anchors and had the TV up in 20 minutes. The 'No Job Too Small' promise is the real deal."
Priya K., Barrhaven
"I needed some home repair Ottawa services to get my house ready for sale in Barrhaven. They fixed a leaky faucet, caulked the bathtub, and touched up the baseboards. The house looked brand new for the open house. Their immediate response helped us list on time."
Amira S., Glebe
"I was so nervous about hanging heavy floating shelves on my old plaster walls in the Glebe. I didn't want to ruin the original character of the house. The team from My Ottawa Handyman was incredible. They found the studs, used the right hardware, and the shelves look like they were built into the house. They were so clean and finished ahead of schedule. I'm so relieved!"
Robert L., Alta Vista
"As a senior living in Alta Vista, I can't climb ladders anymore. I hired them to clean my gutters and change some high floodlights. The technician was so polite and patient. He even noticed a loose shingle and fixed it while he was up there. It's hard to find that level of care these days."
Elena R., Orleans
"We had a general contractor Ottawa cancel on us last minute for a bathroom vanity install. My Ottawa Handyman stepped in and saved the day. The plumbing connections are tight, and the vanity looks great. The 48-hour guarantee gave us extra peace of mind."
Sita R., Little Italy
"I needed several IKEA Pax units assembled and anchored to the wall in my new condo. I'm not great with tools, and the instructions were a nightmare. They handled the bookshelf assembly quickly and ensured everything was level and safe. Professional, polite, and very affordable. I'll definitely be calling them again for my next project."

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about Our Services
The cost for shelving installation Ottawa typically ranges from $125 to $400 for labor, depending on the number of shelves and the complexity of the mounting system. We provide clear, fixed-price quotes on most services so you know the total cost before we even start. This includes our signature 48-hour satisfaction guarantee.
A properly installed floating shelf can typically hold 45-50 pounds per wall stud it is attached to. For a standard 3-foot shelf secured into two studs, you can safely support about 100 pounds. We always prioritize mounting into studs to ensure maximum load-bearing capacity and safety for your family.
Yes, for most shelving, especially heavy-duty storage, anchoring into wall studs is essential. While high-quality drywall anchors can support light decorative items, anything carrying significant weight requires a structural connection. Our team uses professional-grade sensors to locate studs accurately, even behind thick plaster or tile.
We do both! While many clients ask us for bookshelf assembly of kits from stores like IKEA or Home Depot, we also provide custom shelving Ottawa solutions tailored to your specific space. From custom-cut closet organizers to unique laundry room layouts, we can design and implement a storage system that fits your home perfectly.
Absolutely. My Ottawa Handyman is a fully licensed local business. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and WSIB coverage for all our staff. This protects you and your property, ensuring that you are never liable for accidents or damages during the installation process.
For heavy-duty garage storage installation, we recommend using wall-mounted tracks or industrial-grade steel brackets anchored directly into the wall studs or masonry. We often use specialized concrete fasteners for Ottawa homes with unfinished basement or garage walls to ensure the highest level of security.
Most standard mounting projects, such as a set of floating shelves or a pantry organization kit, can be completed in 1 to 4 hours. Larger projects like a full garage storage system may take a full day. We always provide a clear timeline during our initial quote so you can plan your day accordingly.
